    Kanban
    This field shows the Kanban signal ODETTE Message issued by the consignee. This signal message enables the consignor production system to respond to real requirements, not predictions and forecasts. Kanban is a demand-pull system of just-in-time production that regulates the supply of items to shop floor warehouses. Kanban uses standard containers or lot sizes (also called bins) to deliver items to shop floor warehouses. In the shop floor warehouse, two or more bins are available with the same items. Items are only taken from one bin. If a bin is empty, a new bin is ordered, and the items are taken from that full bin. A label is attached to each bin. The line stations use the label to order a full bin with the required items. Therefore, there is no inventory administration in the shop floor warehouse for the floor stock items that are used.

    It consists of a string of numeric or alphanumeric characters that is not, within 365 days, sent to the same customer repeatedly.
