Dual-Card Kanban Process Overview PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 113-slide Lean - Standard or Standardized Work PowerPoint presentation, outlines the Dual-Card Kanban system, a method used in Lean Standard Work to enhance process efficiency. It is structured into 4 distinct phases, each illustrating the interaction between the “Customer” and “Supplier” processes.

In Phase 1, the “Customer” process initiates the workflow by moving an empty container to the “Supplier” process, accompanied by a “Withdrawal” card. This action signals the need for replenishment. Phase 2 sees the “Supplier” process responding by placing a “Production” card on the Kanban board, indicating a full container is ready. The “Withdrawal” card from the empty container is then replaced, maintaining the flow of information.

Phase 3 involves the “Customer” process again, which now moves the full container back while presenting the “Withdrawal” card. This step ensures that the “Supplier” is aware of the demand for more items. Finally, in Phase 4, the “Supplier” process produces the required items and attaches the “Production” card to the full container, completing the cycle.

This systematic approach emphasizes the importance of visual management and real-time communication between processes. The use of cards facilitates a clear understanding of inventory levels and production needs, promoting a pull-based system that minimizes waste. Organizations looking to implement or refine their Lean practices will find this framework beneficial in streamlining operations and enhancing responsiveness to customer demands.
