RESUMO

This research proposes a method to analyze the trade-off between the production capacity buffer and the inventory buffer, required to guarantee high performance levels in a system with demand variation. The analysis involves a production system delineation and the development of a simulation model. The system simulated is a single-stage production system, with mix of ten products, controlled by a kanban system, which is classified by several authors as not recommended in environments with unstable demand. The results indicate that the production capacity buffer enables operational and cost advantages, even if the production system is under higher demand variation.
