A serial of simulations will be done using a demand given by a poison distribution with rate λ ^ ext. The simulation aimed to fi nd the best number of withdrawal Kanban on all N  stages  when  the  values  of  μ    (for  exponential distribution of the process) and λ ^ ext increase and  decrease. At  the  end  of  this  simulation,  the best way to allocate the withdrawal Kanban over N  stages  with  the  objective  of  maintaining  acceptable  throughput  and  mean  system  time  will be clearer thus the conclusions of this work will be done.</p></div> ER -
