| - | The Kanban process describes a type of container management that intends a more efficient flow of materials across all manufacturing stages. In this process, each component used in the plant is stored as a "kanban card" or a container. The card serves as an information carrier that initiates control impulses in a control loop, e .g. automated [[begriffe:Umlagerung|replenishment]] according to consumption. It is therefore a decentralized and event-oriented production process control. | + | //Kanban// (Japanese: card or sign) refers to a supply method based on the pull principle. The [[en:begriffe:Nachschub|replenishment]] is thus based on the actual consumption of materials at the point of consumption. The various //Kanban// control mechanisms ensure an efficient flow of materials and the lowest possible stock in the system. In particular, [[en:begriffe:Artikel|articles]] with relatively constant consumption and a low consumption value are suitable. Often, //Kanban// is used in combination with milk runs (e.g., via route trains) and supermarkets. |
| + | //Kanban// contributes to increased efficiency by reducing waiting times, material inventories and lead times. | ||

| + | **Control mechanisms** | ||
| + | * Kanban container: Containers regulate the control e. g. via the filling level. The necessary information is available. | ||
| + | * Visual Kanban: The control is carried out via visualization, e. g. available buffer areas, visual aids, colored markings. | ||
| + | * Kanban cards: Stuck cards (e. g. at boards) serve as information transfer of quantity, [[en:begriffe:Artikel|article]], storage place, etc. | ||
| + | * E-Kanban: Electronically transmitted data is used for the control; information is available if possible in real time, the material flow is represented transparently. | ||
