Abstract
Usual scheduling rules are not always appropriate in a Kanban assembly job-shop. We present five new heuristic rules that use an analysis of assembly network diagram topology to schedule waiting jobs. The produ ction of a sample of the products of a firm is simulated under differe nt operation conditions. MCDM techniques allow comparison of rules for the optimisation of makespan, stock level, and setups.
