I have been directed to implement Kanban within a short period of time. Where do I begin?
The process can seem challenging, but we are confident the following steps will serve you well: Step 1: Learn how Kanban functions and the various options that can be employed. These options are exceptionally important as they create the “Best Fit” for your specific overall business. Step 2: Assess your operations and supply base to determine the appropriate Kanban options. The design aspect is all-important, as Kanban not only affects manufacturing but also purchasing, stockroom, shipping and receiving, transportation and accounts payable. Diligence in fully designing your Kanban system prior to implementation will save you hundreds of hours of wasted time, effort, and money. A well thought out selection of Kanban options will enable rapid response to projected shifts in demand when implemented. The objective of your design is to obtain what is needed, when needed, in the quantity needed, while eliminating the non-value-added activities associated with recalculation and perpetuation.
