Kanban and How to Reduce and Control Inventory
Kanbans are one of the JIT or Lean techniques, which are most commonly misunderstood or poorly implemented. This highly practical course explains the concepts and how to implement them using a simulation game, which enables quick and easy learning. Kanbans when implemented correctly will enable a true shop floor control system to be implemented, which facilitates a pull system reducing dependency on ERP and MRP systems. This leads to dramatically reduced inventory as you only make product when required. It highlights other issues in your manufacturing process as the work in progress levels are reduced. It makes you more responsive to your customers internal and external and ultimately will reduce your costs. The course shows how to implement Kanbans, how to calculate Kanban size as well as how to over come the common mistakes made. This is done using a simulation game to demonstrate the methodology. The course is ideally suited for manufacturing personnel who wish to understand what Kanbans are and how to implement them.
