Abstract: We present a generalised stochastic Petri net (GSPN) model of a single-process, single-product, manufacturing facility with a supply management system for multiple vendors controlled by supplier kanbans. We consider a scenario with two vendors and obtain numerical results using the GSPN model. Its properties are investigated and the effect of the vendors' activities on the system are discussed.
