Overview of Dual-Card Kanban System Phases PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 105-slide Lean - Kanban Scheduling Systems PowerPoint presentation, outlines the "Dual-Card" Kanban system, a method used to manage workflow and inventory in a streamlined manner. It consists of 4 distinct phases, each illustrating the interaction between the "Customer" and "Supplier" processes.

In Phase 1, the customer initiates the process by moving an empty container to the supplier, accompanied by a "Withdrawal" card. This action signals the need for replenishment. Phase 2 follows, where the customer places a "Production" card on the Kanban board, indicating that a full container is needed. The supplier then replaces the empty container with a full one, ensuring continuity in supply.

Phase 3 sees the customer once again involved, moving the full container back to the customer process while using the "Withdrawal" card to signal that the supply has been received. Finally, in Phase 4, the supplier produces new items and attaches the "Production" card to the full container, completing the cycle.

This visual representation emphasizes the cyclical nature of the Kanban system, highlighting the importance of communication between the customer and supplier. The use of cards facilitates clear signals regarding inventory levels and production needs, which can enhance operational efficiency. Understanding this system is crucial for organizations looking to implement Lean methodologies effectively. It fosters a responsive supply chain, reduces waste, and improves overall productivity. The slide serves as a practical guide for executives considering the adoption of Kanban systems in their operations.
