Kanban Control: In-House Production 

In this procedure, the replenishment elements are created in the planning run and not by setting the kanban status to EMPTY. Setting the status to EMPTY and FULL (as well as the other status changes) controls the material flow. This triggers production and informs the supply source and the demand source of production progress. No replenishment element is created by the kanban signal.

Standard Procedure

In the planning run, depending on how your system is set, run schedule quantities are created if you work with repetitive manufacturing. If you work with production orders, planned orders are created. The order quantities depend on the lot-sizing procedure you use (for example, weekly lot size). The system carries out scheduling according to the lead time scheduling procedure or using the basic dates.

Working with production orders

This procedure corresponds to the usual procedure with production orders. That is, you can use all the functionality that is available for production orders.

The planned orders created in the planning run are converted into production orders and are released for production. With the help of the kanban control functions in KANBAN, you can closely control the production of the partial lots.

Backflushing is carried out with reference to production orders and not with reference to the kanban in which partial and complete backflushes are possible. Thus, within the period of production, the production order can either be under- or over-delivered.

Working with repetitive manufacturing

This procedure corresponds to the usual repetitive manufacturing procedure. That is, you can use all the functionality that is available for repetitive manufacturing.

Depending on how the system is set, planned orders or run schedule quantities are created in the planning run. You can process the run schedule quantities in the repetitive manufacturing planning table. With the help of the kanban control functions in KANBAN, you can closely control the production of the partial lots.

Backflushing is carried out with reference to the run schedule header. The backflush also reduces the planned production quantity.

It is not recommended to post goods receipts separately or to use an independent supply source as the status change is not linked to any postings in the background.
