provides you with an overview of the status changes and will help you in understanding the key figures for the status messages.
Further information about the meaning of the status in KANBAN is in the document PP - KANBAN in the section "Status changes".
The following key figures can be evaluated for the number of status messages in the run:
- Number of refilling operations
Number of status changes whereby the status of a Kanban container was changed from EMPTY to IN TRANSIT.
- Number of triggering operations
Number of replenishment operations that were triggered after the status for a container was changed from WAIT to EMPTY.
This key figure is only needed if the container status is EMPTY and the trigger to replenish by using the indicator Independent source, are not linked to one another in the control cycle.
- Number of transports
Number of status changes whereby the status of a Kanban container was changed from IN TRANSIT to FULL.
- Number of replenishment operations
Number of completed replenishment operations for Kanban containers, that is, the number of status changes whereby the status of a Kanban container changes from EMPTY to FULL, regardless of whether or not a different status was set in the meantime.
- Number of errors
Number of errors that occur while processing the Kanban container.
Example for an error: a particular material was saved for a vendor, who was blocked in the meantime. Because of this, an order cannot be created and the container is given the ERROR status.
- Number of wait operations
Number of status changes, whereby the status of a Kanban container was changed from FULL or IN USE to a different status.
The following key figures are only useful when aggregating over more than one control cycle:
- Number of external procurement operations
Number of external procurement operations that have been triggered.
- Number of in-house production operations
Number of in-house production operations that have been triggered.
- Number of stock transfer operations
Number of stock transfer operations that have been triggered.
