 Kanban Control: In-House Production Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

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 as a result of the kanban signal.

Features

  • Standard Procedure

Depending on the settings, the MRP run creates planned orders or run schedule quantities for repetitive manufacturing or planned orders for the process with production orders. 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 functions 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 (separate goods receipt), 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 functions 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 either with reference to the run schedule header, which reduces the planned production quantities. Or you can carry out the backflush by setting the kanban to FULL. In this case you must not set the indicator Separate GR .
