The Advance kanban functionality allows you to keep the card ID of the upstream loop even in the downstream one, avoiding reprinting it.
KanbanBOX allows this action only if certain conditions are met:
- The customer of the upstream loop must be the supplier of the downstream loop;
- The Part number of the two loops must be the same;
- There must be no repackaging, so the type of Bin and the amount of pieces per Bin (Q) of the two loops must be the same;
- The cards of the two loops must be Throwaway type;
- It is recommended that there is only one consumption point downstream. Otherwise, there must be a poka yoke physical mechanism that prevents several downstream supermarkets from being restored simultaneously.
Procedure
- Create the downstream loop and the upstream loop respecting the prerequisites list above. More information on how to create correctly a kanban loop can be found on Create a new kanban loop article.
- Set the downstream kanban card that has to be replenished to
In process status. It can be done in two different ways:
- if the cards are few, it is possible to set to
In process one card at the time;
- if the cards are many, it is better to create a worklist that filters all the
Released cards of the downstream loop and then set to
In process just the worklist summary card. For more information on how to create a worklist, see Create and update a worklist article.
- if the cards are few, it is possible to set to
- Set Advance kanban widget. See paragraph Set Advance kanban widget.
- Use Advance kanban widget. See paragraph Use Advance kanban widget.
Set Advance kanban widget
Procedure:
- Get in
Home page and clik on
Edit your home page on the bottom left or right of the page;
-
Search for the Advance kanban widget and configure it based on your process:
- upstream kanban can change from
Full status to
Released or
Empty status;
- downstream kanban can change from
In process status to
Done,
In transit or directly to
Full status;
- upstream kanban can change from
-
Click on
Add widget.
Use Advance kanban widget
Procedure:
- Insert in the Advance kanban widget the ID of the card in the Full status of the upstream loop that has to be consumed or withdrawn.
-
Click on
Save.
After the declaration:
- in the upstream loop:
- the declared kanban changes from
Full status to
Released or
Empty status, depending on how the widget was configured;
- the
Released or
Empty kanban card has a new Card ID.
- the declared kanban changes from
- in the downstream loop:
- the kanban card that was set to
In process (if there are more than one, the one set to in process earlier) changes status to
Done,
In transit or
Full, depending on how the widget was configured;
- the kanban card that changes status takes the Card ID of the kanban card of the upstream loop that was read with the widget.
- the kanban card that was set to
Physical process
The Advance kanban physical process is usualy done by the warehouseman. For a correct use of the functionality, the physical process can be described in this way:
- the warehouseman sets the kanbans in
Released status that are going to be restored to
In process;
- the warehouseman uses the Advance kanban to declare the kanbans he picks;
- the material is transported by moving the containers, without changing the cards;
- finally the kanban cards are set to
Full when placed on the client supermarket.
