Kanban Training A Comprehensive Training Tool for Using Kanban
Agenda • Defining Kanban • Brainstorming Exercise • Kanban in Depth • How it works • Example of Kanban • Exercise using Kanban • Summary
Defining Kanban • Kanban is Japanese for “card, ticket, sign, or signboard.” • Comes from Toyota’s Production System • Manages flow of production and materials • Used in a JIT “pull” system
After Using Kanban Before Using Kanban
Brainstorming Exercise • Goals and hopes for kanban • Why are you implementing this system? • What will a pull system do for you, the company, your employees? • What are some things you could do with the potential savings from using kanban?
Kanban in Depth • Kanban card example • System attributes • Types of kanban cards • Functions • Rules

System Attributes • Material vs. Production cards • What to pull/produce • When to pull/produce • How much to pull/produce • Where to pull from • Visual process helps people
System Attributes • Kanban is used to eliminate waste and level production • Typical production looks like this:
Functions • Serves as the “nervous system” for production • Improve and strengthen the factory
Rules • Don’t send defectives to the subsequent process • The subsequent process comes to withdraw • Produce only the quantity withdrawn • Equalize the processes • Kanban is a means to fine tuning • Stabilize and rationalize the process
How Kanban Works • Push vs Pull activity • Calculating: • How many kanbans are needed • Finding takt time • How many operators are needed • ABC Classification
Signal sent from Customer Material Kanban Production Kanban Kanban System Customer Final assembly Suppliers Production Process
Calculating How Many Kanbans • # of Kanbans • Daily output • Mnfting • Safety margin: zero days or as few as possible • Pallet capacity: keep pallet contents small but receive more deliveries
Finding Takt Time • Takt time is the rate at which products/parts must be produced to fulfill customer orders • T • O
How Many Operators Needed • # of operators needed • Need to find TCT
ABC Classification • A- frequently ordered items, high volume • B- somewhat frequently ordered, medium volume • C- infrequently ordered, small volume
Example of Kanban • US Synthetics has been using lean principles, including kanban • USS was able to stabilize their production, along with their customers’ and suppliers
US Synthetic 7 Years Ago • Batch Processes (Extremely Difficult To See and Fix Problems) • Production Forecast (Almost always wrong) • Push Systems (Producing even if there is no demand) • Hero mentality / Constant Expediting • Working overtime, but never working on the right stuff Supplier Customer
