ABSTRACT
Quality improvement and costs control are vital to organizations for work performance enhancement and fulfilling customers’ requirement. Inventories that are stored in large amount of quantities will result in waste and space usage. One effective solution is using Just in Time (JIT) concept as a method to reduce costs, improve quality and meet the ever-changing customer needs. The adoption of Just in Time (JIT) concepts seems...
Abstract: Logistics or supply chains play a central role in effective management. Inventory control systems play a significant role in managing supply chains. This article provides engineering managers with guidelines to choose a cost-effective supply chain inventory control system through analyzing push inventory systems (MRP), and pull systems (JIT). Simulation modeling was used to build and analyze the supply chains...
ABSTRACT
Kanban is a pull production system that is very useful in Automotive Production Industry. Logistic systems in automotive industry, tries to apply the best system of logistic to supply the production lines and stations by bringing the parts and all requirements in best quantity and timing in order to come off the JIT specifications. In this article we try to exert a sequencing concept in Kanban card rotations to minimize...
ABSTRACT:
Aviation field always come across a common issue throughout the world while planning their materials in inventory. Cost of maintaining unwanted inventory can hit the revenue of the airline operations. So a near optimal solution is preferred for achieving this. Materials planning can be divided into two models i.e. stochastic and forecasted model. Most of the airlines throughout the world follow stochastic models such as Max-Min,...
