Abstract
A method is presented that allows job shops, such as wafer fabrication lines (fabs), to be analyzed for the application of just-in-time (JIT) production methods. From the resources available and the process recipe, a Kanban policy is derived that allows a pull-type production system to be implemented. Using this method example fabs were analyzed and the JIT/Kanban policies derived were simulated. The simulations show that the proposed method performs very well compared to other fab scheduling policies
