    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.

    These workflows are possible:
    • For a Manufacturing Reference Number, several items can exist that must be delivered and mounted, for example, exterior right and left mirrors that are built into a vehicle. Therefore, the sequencing data must be copied into different plans that are assigned to the Manufacturing Reference Number, internally the Sequence field. In this workflow, a first sequence schedule comes in with the item data and the Sequence identifier that is copied into the Reference Number 1 field. A second sequence schedule that comes in afterwards contains the sequencing data. The sequencing data determines the exact sequence and time of vehicles that are manufactured on the assembly line. The appropriate plan for the second sequence schedule is evaluated. The sequencing data is copied into the provided plan fields of the order lines.
    • Only one schedule is sent, which already includes the entire item and sequencing data.
