Abstract

The study assessed manufacturing system optimization using computer-based control kanban loops. The study assessed JIT's effect on average throughput-time, demand fill rate, net operating income for a certain product mix complexity and manufacturing overhead level. ARENA/SIMAN and WITNESS simulation tools were used to study implementation. The Drug Process Plant's JIT system reduced end buffer inventory, shortened customer lead time, and improved visual control. The mean response of the simulated new physical system in terms of NOI was 85.54 but gave a mean response of 85.30 when implemented on the shop floor. The mean response of the simulated new physical system in terms of cycle time was 617 but gave a mean response of 634 when implemented on the shop floor. Simulated new physical system in terms of DFR gave a mean response of 93.11 when implemented on the shop floor. Overwhelmingly, the new JIT system outperformed the old physical system. Bangladesh J.
