Detailed Process Description
Manufacturing with Kanban supply into production
 The scenario Manufacturing with KANBAN supply into production focuses on a lean production
control method within a repetitive manufacturing environment: use of KANBAN processing for
lean replenishment
 Repetitive Manufacturing is commonly used when a production process meets the following
criteria: The same or similar products are produced over a lengthy period of time. The products
produced are not manufactured in individually defined lots. Instead, total quantity is produced
over a certain period at a certain rate per part-period. The products produced always follow the
same sequence through the machines and work centers in production. Routings tend to be
simple and do not vary much.
 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. The entries you have to make in the system
are reduced to a minimum. All other actions in the system are carried out automatically in the
background.
 With KANBAN, the production process controls itself and manual posting is reduced as far as
possible. The effect of this is a reduction in lead time and in stock.
