Maintenance Kanban System (PowerPoint PPTX)

This presentation is a must have for your internal training needs. Presentation provides a great step by step on how to implement world class concepts to improve how you manage parts and supplies. With several real life examples, you will see and learn the benefits of Kanban in your spare parts room. Having an organized and robust ordering system in maintenance will allow you to manage cost, keep floor space use to a minimum, increase maintenance staff efficiency, and reduce downtime due to part shortages.

Definition and Benefits of Kanban: Outside of the performance improvements, one of the most valuable benefits is a implied visual process for ordering that everyone can easily adapt to. No complicated software's or intense training. An easy to use process.

Inventory Baseline Analysis: The presentation provides a step by step on how to establish a current state of inventory to be the start point for creating a new maintenance Kanban system

Establishing Future State Inventory Levels: One of the first glimpse at the potential cost savings you will incur, is establishing future maximum levels and comparing them to current levels. These new maximum quantities will be the new benchmark on hand inventory allow for easier budgeting each year.

Identifying Minimum Levels: Minimum quantities represent the least amount you will hold and often is the reorder point.

Creating Reorder Signals: There are a variety of ways to create reorder signals. This presentation illustrates the concept of Kanban cards that are utilized for reorder and contain all the appropriate information on the specific part.

Setting the Parts Room: Finally, using real life examples, we will show you how to properly set up the parts room using racks, bins, labels, color codes, and many other implementation ideas to give you a nice range of options. These items are easy to find and are readily available.
