Abstract

For many years, supply performance of goods to demand sites has been analysed, designed and improved by various ways such as Heijunka concept and methodology. Basic structure of this approach is, in general, to adapt demand speed and fluctuation by managing work-in-progress. This research, taking electricity supply operations on the smart-grid platform as the objective system, examines its performance for identifying the way to stable supply. Performance analysis is examined by simulation experiments with the proposed model and obtained results suggest that Heijunka of power supply is realised in time-domain by storage batteries.
