making what all is needed.
* In a push system, the production order is scheduled and the material is pushed into the production line. In a pull system, the start of each product assembly process is triggered by the completion of another at the end of production line.
KANBAN SYSTEM
Kanban meaning “card” or “visible record” , refers to cards used to control the flow of production through a factory.
It’s a JIT technique, scheduling system that tells you what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce.
KANBAN CARD
The principle of Kanban Cards is that the card is a signal from a process back to a preceding process to supply more product. As with any other Kanban, it is the authority to produce product, a specific quantity of a specified product.
When a batch of material is started, the Kanban card is removed and sent back to the previous process. This card is then the authority to produce the next batch, sometimes there are multiple cards for the same product and production is triggered when a fixed number of cards are received.
Kanban cards need not be “cards”, many companies utilize many different ideas from flags to multi-coloured golf balls to transmit their signals. A Kanban can be of any type as long as everyone understands the message being passed.
