Setting bin quantities for 2-Bin Kanban systems (version 3)

Omega, 2019, vol. 87, issue C, 142-149

Abstract: The 2-bin inventory model has been well-known as a visual version of the basic (Q, r) model for inventory control. Visual control has been a hallmark of the JIT movement in industry toward simplification and transparency. The 2-bin idea is no longer limited to the industrial domain; there is growing empirical evidence that it is now well entrenched as a standard operating principle in hospitals for managing the inventory of medical supplies.
