Abstract:

Just-in-time (JIT) systems operate on a pull-based production control. The material needed is expected to be at its production site when and only when it is needed. When an automated storage retrieval sysem (ASRS) is used as a valve warehouse to support JIT manufacturing, the delivery time becomes critical. This paper presents an investigation on the effect of job sequencing rule on delivery performance of an ASRS, which is used as a valve warehouse to support a pull-based Kangan-driven assembly line. The analysis was based on computer simulation. The interaction of the sequencing rules with other control variables was also examined.
