Analysis of WIP Inventory Control and Simulation of KANBAN System within Wiring Harness Company

Abstract

This project suggests an approximate implementation and simulation of KANBAN system within wiring harness company. The latter adopts Just-in-Time philosophy but without respecting it fully by resorting to push system in controlling its Work In Process (WIP) inventory. That is why, an analysis of the existing system has been conducted in order to shed light on the flaws and deficiencies existing at the level of managing the WIP stock. After detecting the alarming situation of inventory control especially in the pre-assembly area, an initial implementation and simulation of KANBAN system has been suggested using ProModel even if many constraints have been encountered at the level of data and software used.

Keywords KANBAN system, Just-in-Time philosophy, Work In Process inventory, ProModel.
