Following in the footsteps of its popular predecessor, the
second edition of this workbook explains how to apply kanban
replenishment systems to improve material flow. Kanban for the
Supply Chain: Fundamental Practices for Manufacturing Management,
Second Edition provides readers with a detailed roadmap for
achieving a successful and sustainable kanban implementation.
Detailing the steps required for each stage of the manufacturing
and supply chain management process, this updated edition focuses
on creating an environment for success. It addresses internal
mechanisms, including leveling production schedules, as well as
external elements, such as conducting a thorough analysis of
customer demand. Numerous techniques are presented for setting up
kanban that consider a wide array of material types, dimensions,
and storage media. This edition presents a wealth of new tools and
techniques useful across the broad spectrum of manufacturing
environments, including:
- A statistical data cleansing technique to remove questionable
or irrelevant data from kanban calculations
- Correlation analysis based on simple Excel techniques to guide
the decisions around which part numbers "qualify" for kanban
- An alternative "stair-step analysis" approach for those who are
unable to generate correlation data and prefer to use more readily
available monthly demand history
- An approach to analyze supplier performance data vs. lead time
and lot size expectations, with risk mitigation strategies for poor
performing suppliers
This book is for those who are ready to stop thinking about a
conversion from materials requirements planning push techniques to
kanban pull techniques and want to make it happen now. Stephen
Cimorelli provides actionable advice for installing fundamental
kanban concepts that can immediately help you increase
manufacturing productivity and profitability. The book includes
team-based exercises that reinforce key principles as well as a CD
with helpful outlines, charts, figures, and diagrams.
