ELECTRONIC KANBAN SERVICE
Dalmar have been offering a KanbanBOX service for a number of years to help our customers manage their supply process. When a company needs to buy numerous components from their suppliers it is important to implement a system that reduces inventory and order management to a minimum without ever running out of stock.
What is Kanban?
Kanban is a Lean Production method that enables Pull Flow of materials. It consists of a card fixed to a container holding a predefined quantity of a component, and including all the necessary information for purchasing, producing, or dispatching the component through the production system. Only after the materials have been consumed is the card forwarded to the supplier who then replenishes the consumed goods. This is why the flow of materials in a Kanban system is referred to as “Pulled”: the replenishment of a component is only authorized after it has effectively been used.
What is electronic Kanban?
The e-Kanban system is a methodology for electronic information exchange that is integrated into your company and those of your suppliers, eliminating the need for complex order management systems.
