TO FACILITATE THE SIMULATION AND MODELING OF JIT SYSTEMS, THE NOTION IS INTRODUCED OF KANBAN SATISFACTION AS A CONVENIENT PARADIGM FOR MODELING THE PULL CONTROL STRUCTURE. THIS PAPER EXPLORES THE ISSUES THAT ARISE FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO INTERFACE JIT SYSTEMS WITH PUSH SYSTEMS. THE PAPER ALSO PROPOSED NEW SIMULATION CONSTRUCTS FOR THE SIMAN SIMULATION LANGUAGE. THE CONSTRUCTS PROVIDE A CONVENIENT MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PULL CONTROL STRUCTURE WITHIN A PUSH SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT.
