“…Its core characteristic is a rigid pull-orientation of the production processes, which is why terms such as pull concept or pull system are often used synonymously. Henderson [31] describes Kanban as follows: "Kanban is basically the system of supplying parts and materials just at the very moment they are needed in the factory production process so that those parts and materials are instantly put to use" (p. 6). To do so, the station which has run out of material uses so-called Kanbans (Japanese word for billboard/signboard) so as to signal the precise quantity of material that needs to be supplied.…”

“…E-Kanban system can be used no matter the distance between the production department and it reduces the quantity of the company's paperwork. Many studies show the advantages of the E-Kanban over the traditional Kanban ( [16], [17]). Svirčević et al [17] compared EKanban to the classic Kanban system, and pointed out many advantages that E-Kanban is preferable for warehouse keepers, such as solving problems of losing cards, improving control of stock levels, reducing working hours of warehouse keepers, etc.…”

Abstract.A key success for automotive suppliers relies on its on-time delivery and efficient manufacturing process. A case-study rubber seal manufacturer is using just in time (JIT) techniques, requiring efficient process flow with low wastes. However, the majority of the current processes still rely on workers' expertise that can lead to process errors. In 2011, 699 events of rubber supplying delays were found and 525 events or 75.11% of these delays are due to inappropriate ordering and management of the Kanban system in the rubber preparation process. The objective of this research is, therefore, to improve the rubber preparation process by developing a logical method to identify appropriate times for each step and designing information management for the Electronic Kanban System (E-Kanban) to be able to deliver effective and accurate signaling. This E-Kanban system must be able to automatically indicate when each step in the rubber preparation should start so that the rubbers are prepared and ready for the next moulding process by the time they are needed. We also design user interface for an effective use of the system in actual operation. After the developed E-Kanban system was implemented in the factory from July to October 2012, we found that the number of rubber supplying delays could be reduced to 86 events and only 11 events or 12.79% of these delays are from the rubber preparation process.

The Logic of Kanban

Abstract: The story of Kanban, the vitally important Japanese manufacturing technique, is just beginning. U.S. companies that can make use of the Kanban system will gain enormous competitive advantages.
