Kanban Systems
Kanban
Material control system, plus
Part of a related manufacturing philosophy
Toyota Production System/Lean
delivers Just-In-Time (JIT) performance.
There are different forms of Kanban
Kanban square
One card kanban
Two card kanban
Kanban-MRP
Kanban Kanban
Square Square
Operator working -
kanban square empty Operator stopped -
kanban square full
Where
Replenishment Time includes all the times required to:
Transport to cell & between machines + pass the card to the 1st operation +
Queue at machine(s) + Set machine(s) + Process the kanban quantity
1NB Container capacity can be simply the selected kanban card quantity

Kanban - Environment
The system is very disciplined but it is also simple, so
low stock operation depends on changes to;
plant (productive maintenance, capability, setups),
working practices (flexibility, ownership),
supplier relationships (partnership, delivery, quality),
customer relationships (level MPS).
Levelled scheduling means building a schedule by making:
runners every day/period
repeaters when required (but as often as possible)
strangers fill up the capacity available

Kanban Limitations
Repetition of demand is required
Why?
Demand must be (relatively) smooth
Especially in terms of overall volume
Some change in mix OK if setups are quick
Direct Kanban links and smooth demand
Collaborating customers (customer development)
Otherwise an assembly schedule is used
the MPS/assembly schedule uses levelled
scheduling to minimise variability
may require customer-facing stock to damp
fluctuation
Kanban – MRP
These systems use both MRP and Kanban at
the same time
Each system is used for areas/cells/products
that suit its characteristics
In parallel systems some self-contained MRP
modules or product lines will be MRP Cells

Kanban-MRP “Sandwich”
MRP controls MPS and purchases
Kanban controls all parts/assemblies made
inside the factory
MPS drives assembly/product manufacture
Parts

Kanban-MRP “Sandwich”
MRP system changed:
BOM:
MRP does not control/stock any kanban controlled part
Kanban parts entered as phantoms to implement this
active BOM much simplified
Lead times
include allowance for kanban controlled cycles
Critical to synchronisation of supply
Inventory
No tracking of kanban parts & no related transactions
Backflushing widely used to avoid recording issues of purchased items
Move/Conveyance Circuit
The supplier and customer cells are located on
NB the formula is,
the opposite sides of a large industrial site.
No kanbans= Demand Rate x(Sum of Times in circuit) x (1 + Safety Factor)

Wait Truck 15 30

Swop Cards 2 2
Supplier -> Customer Cell 20 24
Production
wait free operator 10
transport card/bin to 1st op machine 2
queue until parts for minimum run available calculate minimum run quantity = 2000
set machine 30
process run quantity 2 NB std time is 2 mins each
move to next 2nd operation 2 1st operator does this
queue waiting machine free 240
set machine 30
process 3 NB std time is 3 mins each
move to cell storage area 5 2nd operator does this
Notes
Variabilty of the times has been estimated at:
Production Elements 30%
Transport Elements 50%
Demand
Estimated demand is (units/hr) 25
