Abstract:

  • Compares COBACABANA and kanban systems in a pure flow shop with high variability.
  • Examines the differences between inventory and order control systems.
  • Simulations demonstrate COBACABANA improves performance where kanban fails.
  • However, a structural constraint makes the original COBACABANA dysfunctional.
  • Solutions to mitigate the effect of the structural constraint are outlined.
