Abstract

The last 2 decades have seen a surge in the literature related to pull control, kanban-type control, WIP control, and more generally token-based production control systems. Not only have many generalizations, extensions, and variants of the original kanban system been introduced, analyzed, and compared (e.g., generalized kanban control system (GKCS), CONstant WIP (CONWIP), production authorization card (PAC), paired-cell overlapping loops of cards with authorization (POLCA), extended kanban control system (EKCS), customized token-based system (CTBS), heijunka kanban, among others).
