Abstract :
A simulation model of kanban system for steel rolling production line is established based on discrete event simulation theory and ExtendSim simulation software. The optimal kanban quantity is obtained with the genetic algorithm optimizer module of the ExtendSim, which obviously reduced the WIP stocks and the end product stocks in the production line.
