System Using the above Kanbans, pull production system was employed instead of the push production system. Fig.1.3 shows the Kanban flow. The stores department now negotiates with the supplier and sets the revised schedule to deliver 40 fabric rolls per day. After getting an order of 2000 shirts, withdrawal kanban- The Kanban System has the following steps that needs to be followed which is really important and as follows: 1. Each process issues requests to its suppliers when it consumes its supplies which means request is being sent. 2. Each method produces according to the quantity and categorization of incoming requests. 3. Pull / Kanban is a method of controlling the flow of production through the factory based on a customer's demand. Pull systems control the flow of resources in a production process by replacing only what has been consumed. They are customer order-driven production schedules based on actual demand and consumption rather than forecasting. Pull Systems 2 Principles of "Lean Thinking" 1. Specify value from the external customer's perspective 2. Identify and understand the value stream 3. Make value‐creating steps flow 4. Pull • Flow at the pull of the customer • Pull where flow isn't possible 5. Pursue perfection Lean Thinking, Womack & Jones 3 Forecast & Orders 4 in the area of kanban/pull systems. A kanban system is, in its simplest form, deciding 1)what, 2)how much, and 3)when to make product by looking at what the downstream process in the production line is consuming (Ohno, 1988 and Shingo, 1989). A successful kanban system vastly reduces in-process inventory levels, which in turn allows other In Summary. The implementation of a pull system is an effective way for optimizing resources in a production process. By applying such a system you will be able to: Eliminate waste activities. Optimize cost-efficiency. Meet actual demand. Increase productivity and flow efficiency. Step 2. Pull system Production plan. . . Schedule Schedule Schedule Schedule • Each stage has its 'own schedule' of kanbans • This schedule is determined at the kanban system design stage • Production is indirectly scheduled by kanbans The University of Iowa Intelligent Systems Laboratory Kanban Control System • Kanban card indicates For implementation of pull system, the detail steps of Kanban system for this firm was applied as follows. 1) Data Collection: There are about 16 variants of product for this particular assembly line from X1 to X3 and X01 to X12. We estimate daily requirement of each product from the forecasted data. This project management tool relies on a kanban board to visualize a project's essential tasks, enabling team members to choose their own tasks from the board. In other words, they "pull" their work from a list of assignments rather than management "pushing" it on them. The benefits of the kanban pull system lie in its ability to A. KANBAN Kanban means signboard. A kanban can be a variety of things, most commonly it is a card, but sometimes it is a cart, while other times it is just a marked space. In all cases, its purpose is to facilitate flow, bring about pull, and limit inventory [1]. Implementation of Kanban system in an auto industry has been discussed in [2], For implementing pull system, Kanban cards are the key elements, as it contains the details of number of parts required for succeeding work station to achieve continuous production without delays. So the Kanban card was designed and number of cards
