Kanban Console page
Use the Kanban Console page to view the Kanban details.
- Part Status
- The status of the part that indicates whether the number of signals are matching the loop size, maximum, and minimum established for the part. See the legend on the Kanban console for further information.
- Part Number
- Part number as established by the customer.
- Supplier
- The company responsible for supplying and shipping the part.
- Facility

- Ship To

- Pull Loop Size
- The number of Kanban signals that can be active for a single
part, excluding emergency signals. When defining a Kanban part for the first
time, this is the number of signals generated. The recommended calculation for
pull loop size is:
Pull Loop = (ADVV * (DF + MT + TT + OP) + SS ) / STD.PACK ADV = Average Daily Volume (based on MRP data) ADVV = ADV * Vendor's split DF = Delivery Frequency Time (in days) MT = Manufacturing Process Time TT = Intransit Time OP = Order Process Time SS = Safety Stock In Days STD.PACK = Standard Pack
- Standard Pack
- The required number of parts per Kanban signal.
- Minimum
- The minimum required number of Kanban signals in the In-Transit and In-House status.
- Created
- The number of signals that have been created, but not yet sent to the supplier as demand.
- At Supplier
