Abstract
The procedural rules of the Base Stock System were already published by Kimball in 1955 (see [Kimb-88*] for a reprint, as well as [Clar-60*, Grav-95*] as alternative sources) and is thus one of the oldest manufacturing control methods. The principle idea behind the method is to immediately convey each demand placed by an end customer to all of the workstations in a production. The corresponding demand signal authorizes the reproduction of the required variant. For each workstation a so-called ‘base stock’ is defined for each variant by which the cumulated production of the variant should exceed the cumulated customer demand. When the base stock is constant, this method prevents fluctuating demands from being amplified (bullwhip effect) and is thus suitable for coordinating supply chains. The possible WIP build-up that can occur as a result of a production backlog is, however, disadvantageous.
