Implementation of Replenishment System Using Kanban as a Tool
Material type: TextDescription: 34-57.pSubject(s): In: MURTHY, E N OPERATIONs MANAGEMENTSummary: In almost all manufacturing companies, materials need to be stored or buffered, implying that manufacturing companies need effective replenishment methods. However, this is challenging, since companies must balance inventory costs and customer service in complex and different situations. Therefore, it is important to choose replenishment methods carefully. One well-known and widespread method is Material Requirements Planning (MRP). But the method has problems, such as the one regarding volume flexibility. Hence, the purpose of the present study is to analyze the application of visually-oriented replenishment methods in manufacturing industry and further to design a tentative decision tool for selecting methods.Item type | Current library | Call number | Vol info | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |
