Abstract
Although the philosophy of the JIT production is wellknown in many manufacturing companies as an ideal solution to shorten throughput time and to cut back on work-in-progress inventory, it cannot always be easily realized. The reason is, that there is no compact concept for the JIT production besides the KANBAN system above all in job-shop manufacturing. And iťs true that the KANBAN system can fulfill the most important requirement for the JIT production, the rule circle with the pull principle, but it can be used only on a line manufacturing system because of the physical KANBAN box. Therefore the KANBAN system is an inacceptable solution to realize the JIT production in a different manufacturing system, for example in job-shop manufacturing system. The essential development of the new concept production control with the JIT-Buffer was to realize the pull principle on the rule circle with the JIT-Buffer. The JIT-Buffer is virtual and filled with work hours for manufacturing orders. In order to manage the JIT-Buffer, the simulation is put in. The production control that is carried out in the simulation will be transferred in the real manufacturing system. The advantage of the production control is, that it can be used on all manufacturing systems from line manufacturing system to flexible manufacturing system.
