Use
In event-driven KANBAN, material provision is not based on a predefined number of kanbans or a predefined kanban quantity. Instead, it is based on actual material consumption. The material is not continually provided and replenished at a supply area. It is only replenished when specifically requested. In this procedure, the advantages of the KANBAN module are used to make the material replenishment process even more simple.
Integration
In the event-driven KANBAN procedure, you can also use all the functions available in the KANBAN module.
Prerequisites
You must maintain separate control cycles for event-driven KANBAN.
Features
In this procedure, a kanban is only created when required. That is, kanban creation is triggered by a certain event. The system creates a kanban for every requested material quantity, which is subsequently deleted on replenishment.
The event-driven kanban is created using a separate function. The quantity to be replenished is defined directly in this function. In the control cycle, you can define the following restrictions for the definition of the kanban:
For technical reasons, it is not possible to create several production orders for several kanbans all at once. The system does not allow such an entry.
Change your entry or the business process so that only one kanban is created. For example, make several entries, each with smaller quantity.
If this is not possible, change your replenishment strategy from production orders to planned orders/run schedule quantities.
