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

Name of the destination issuing demand to which parts are to be sent.

Ship To

Name of the shipping destination to which parts are to be sent.

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

In-Transit
