In many manufacturing systems, production of parts proceeds in stages. An important managerial concern is how to control the flow of parts through the stages. In many systems this is done by implementing a pull control policy, that is, a policy that decides when to produce parts based on when customer demands arrive to the system. A significant amount of work has been devoted to this issue for serial systems, i.e., systems consisting of stages in series. Different pull control mechanisms have been proposed in the literature, among which the Base Stock Control System (BSCS) the Kanban Control System (KCS) and the Generalized Kanban Control System (GKCS) are of special interest. Recently a new control mechanism referred to as the Extended Kanban Control System (EKCS) was introduced. The purpose of this paper is to generalize the EKCS to assembly structures. It turns out that we need to define two different control policies depending on whether parts are transferred simultaneously or independently into the assembly stage. This leads to the definition of the Simultaneous Extended Kanban Control System (SEKCS) and the Independent Extended Kanban Control System (IEKCS). Properties and comparisons of these two control mechanisms are presented.
