Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 252))

Abstract

Just-in-time manufacturing has become increasingly popular in the last three decades. Today it reaches far beyond Toyota’s manufacturing plants and is adopted in various industries globally. Lean production, an umbrella term for just-in-time, includes several tools that can benefit from fuzziness. In this chapter, we present Kanban card number calculation and two scheduling models. We also demonstrate the models through numerical examples where appropriate.
