Abstract
Limited buffer capacity models can be used for the mathematical representations of a form of kanban control. There are two aspects of limited buffer systems studied in this chapter. First an approach for developing an analytical approximation model for serial flow systems is developed. Then the issue of how these buffer values can be set to yield an optimal system configuration is addressed.
