Master Data View

The master data view displays classification results, categorizes materials selected in the MRP monitor into Kanban materials and Kanban-capable materials; and ensures the mass processing of those. The master data view is divided into four blocks:

  1. Table with Kanban materials

  2. Table with Kanban-capable materials

  3. Profile subscreen

  4. Graphical representation of the consumption/requirements situation

Materials selected in the MRP monitor are categorized into:

  • KANBAN materials, i.e. materials for which control cycles do exist

  • KANBAN-capable materials, i.e. materials for which control cycles do not exist

Convert Kanban-Capable Materials into Kanban Materials

The table containing Kanban materials lists all those materials for which control cycles exist. Besides various control cycle data, the determined ABC-XYZ signs are displayed. A consumption graphic displays the consumptions that underlie the XYZ classification. The user can change, create, copy or delete multiple control cycles. These different maintenance processes are described in seperate chapters.
