Material Kanban

DFT shares a conventional definition of material Kanban based on a visual signal to replenish a point of consumption with required material.  A typical material Kanban system in DFT is "Single Card, Multiple Container" and enables card or container quantities to be consumed and replenished without shortages.

Material Kanban provides an alternative to kitting as a way of issuing material to the production floor.  A DFT environment will strive to simplify the definition of warehouse locations for material and reduce the number of transactions required to control the flow of material during production.  The aim of Material Kanban is to connect the material flow with actual requirement at the process and provide a more robust availability of parts to production whilst reducing the response-time to the customer.

Production Kanban

Production Kanban is designed for a replenishment quantity that may be smaller than a lot size or batch.  It is based on a "dual card Kanban" system where a "move" card or container represents the quantity required by the downstream point of consumption and a "produce" card is kept on a display board and accumulates to a replenishment batch.

Demand-based management

Demand-based management is an approach that defines tolerance capability for demand in order to unify material and production planning under conditions of demand uncertainty.  It uses "flex fences" to set the upper and lower boundaries of supply against a definition of the current daily rate of demand.  The current rate is usually some kind of smoothed average and will move over time.  The flex-fences will be different for different product items or groups and should be calculated individually.  Order policies, purchasing, inventory and production capacity will all be set against these flex fence boundaries, so these calculations will sit at the heart of operations planning.

Unfortunately, this is a calculation-intensive and critical process that is largely unsupported by MRP/ERP systems.  The lack of system tools and clash with conventional MRP planning routine are primary reason why demand-based management has not had the same level of adoption experienced by the rest of the DFT principles.

A typical fabric Kanban system in DFT is " Single Card, Multiple Container " and enables card or container quantity to be consumed and replenished without deficit. 

 Material Kanban provides an option to kitting as a way of issue material to the production floor.   A DFT environment will strive to simplify the definition of warehouse localization for material and reduce the number of transactions required to control the flow of material during production.   The aim of Material Kanban is to connect the material flow with actual requirement at the process and provide a more robust handiness of part to production whilst reduce the reply - time to the customer. 

 Production Kanban 

 Production Kanban is designed for a refilling quantity that may be little than a lot size or batch.   It is based on a " double card Kanban " system where a " move " card or container represents the quantity ask by the downstream point of consumption and a " produce " card is kept on a display control panel and accumulates to a refilling batch. 

 requirement - based management 

 Demand - based management is an approach that specify tolerance capability for demand in order to unify material and production planning under conditions of demand doubt.   It uses " flex fences " to set the upper and lower boundaries of provision against a definition of the current daily rate of demand.   The current rate is normally some kind of smoothed average and will move over time.   The flex - fence will be different for different intersection items or group and should be calculated individually.   orderliness policies, purchasing, inventory and production capacity will wholly be set against these flex fence boundaries, so these calculation will sit at the heart of operations planning. 

 Unfortunately, this is a calculation - intensive and critical process that is largely unsupported by MRP / ERP systems.   The lack of system tools and collide with conventional MRP planning routine are primary reason why demand - based management has not had the same degree of borrowing feel by the rest of the DFT principles.
