Abstract


The KANBAN method was first developed at Toyota in 1950 as a method to manage the flow of materials on an assembly line. In the following 3 decades, the Kanban method was developed in an optimal manufacturing environment that can lead to global competitiveness. Within the POLITEHNICA Bucharest- Pitesti University Center, the Learning Factory research laboratory implemented the Kanban method on an assembly line that produces steering wheels. The influence of the Kanban method on the performance of the assembly line was studied using the Arena Rockwell discrete event simulation environment. Using the experimental simulation, the optimal number of kanban cards and operators serving the assembly line was identified.
