KANBAN, a technique for work and inventory release, is a
major component of Just-in-Time and Lean Manufacturing philosophy. It was
originally developed at Toyota in the 1950s as a way of managing material flow
on the assembly line. Over the past three decades the Kanban process, a highly
efficient and effective factory production system, has developed into an
optimum-manufacturing environment leading to global competitiveness.
Advantages of Kanban Processing
Provides a simple and understandable process. Provides quick and precise
information. There are low costs associated with the transfer of information.
Provides quick response to changes. There is a strict limit of over-capacity in
processes. Avoids overproduction. Minimizes waste. Full control can be
maintained. Delegates responsibility to line workers.
Kanban Processing in glovia.com
As part of our on-going commitment to provide the best manufacturing practices
within glovia.com, we have introduced a new module encompassing
the very best of Kanban techniques.
The monthly requirements are calculated using
MPS, from this information using the KANBAN planning screen the number
of KANBANS required are calculated.
