What is Milk Run ?
Kanban Process
It is physical process in which ROH matl required for prodn will be replenished to that supply
area.
A milk runner will collect a KANBAN cards from a particular supply area and hand over it to
Supermarket people and they will scan KANBAN card and replenish materials to milk run vehicle.
The required qty is mentioned in KANBAN card only but not in Control cycle in UBK/RBAC
1. Introduction
Kanban Process
G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR venkatesansivakumar@yahoo.co.in
The KANBAN method for controlling production and material flow is based on the
actual stock quantity in production. Material that is required on a regular basis is
continually provided in small quantities in production. Replenishment or the production
of a material is only triggered when a higher production level actually requires the
material. This replenishment is triggered directly in
production using previously maintained master data.
In KANBAN, the signal for material replenishment can be triggered, for
example, by the work center that requires the material (demand source) by sending a
card
to the work center that is
responsible for manufacturing the material (supply source). This card describes which
material is
required, the quantity of the material required and where the material is to be delivered.
The name KANBAN originally stems from these cards, which are called “kanban” in
Japanese.
