Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7An Approximation for Kanban Controlled Assembly Systems(Springer, 2011) Avsar, Zeynep Muge; Topan, Engin; 164129; 06.04. Endüstri Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiAn approximation is proposed to evaluate the steady-state performance of kanban controlled two-stage assembly systems. The development of the approximation is as follows. The considered continuous-time Markov chain is aggregated keeping the model exact, and this aggregate model is approximated replacing some state-dependent transition rates with constant rates. The approximate aggregate model is, then, decomposed into submodels and a product-form steady-state distribution is obtained for each submodel. Finally, the submodels are combined in such a way that the size of the problem becomes independent of the number of kanbans. This leads to the computational advantage in solving the combined model using numerical matrix-geometric solution algorithms. Numerical comparisons of the combined model with simulation, exact model, approximate aggregate model and an approximation in the literature show that the proposed approximation performs well in terms of accuracy and computational burden.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 35An Exact Solution Procedure for Multi-Item Two-Echelon Spare Parts Inventory Control Problem With Batch Ordering in the Central Warehouse(Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Tan, Tarkan; Bayindir, Z. Pelin; Topan, Engin; 06.04. Endüstri Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiWe consider a multi-item two-echelon inventory system in which the central warehouse operates under a (Q, R) policy, and the local warehouses implement basestock policy. An exact solution procedure is proposed to find the inventory control policy parameters that minimize the system-wide inventory holding and fixed ordering cost subject to an aggregate mean response time constraint at each facility.
