Supplier Kanban at Dynapac

16.06.2008

Dynapac located in the North of Germany uses the manufactus e-Kanban system IKS to manage their Kanban loops to external suppliers and other Dynapac locations.

The company defines standard processes for their Kanban call-offs and creates the basis to analyze their inventory levels and delivery lead times. IKS guarantees a very high visualization of the complete Kanban situation and reduces the error rate to a minimum. This is the basis to optimize the Kanban parameters and Kanban processes continuously.

By an automated link between IKS and the existing MRP system the processes of booking material at the goods receiving area will be simplified and the manual activites will be reduced dramatically.
