manufactus has implemented IKS in a one week project for a first production line. For this production line the Kanban orders are visualized and scheduled via the electronic IKS Kanban Board module.
A roll-out for other internal production lines as well as for external suppliers is planned.

By using the manufactus e-Kanban solution Rotex is able to realize more stable Pull processes and a faster flow of Kanban signals, gets a much better visualization regarding inventory and Kanban orders and is able to optimize the Kanban process continuously.

Of course, also IKS is part of this Lean event. Highlight of the day is a case study of our customer Ingersoll Rand about the implementation of electronic Kanban and the preparation of a required environment. More information you will find here (Document in Italian language).

At the 14th of December, 2011 a Master Class seminar will take place in Asolo. The main topic of the Master Class is ”Lean Management Software”, too.

GC&P is helping companies to create the required environment to realize a Kanban system. Therefore GC&P offers Lean consutling services as well as required training courses. The company is based in Asolo which is close to Venezia.
  
Additionally manufactus signs an agreement with a company named Neulab which is based in Vicenza. This company works very close together with GC&P and realizes all IT technical requirements of their customers. So Neulab will act in the future as IKS distribution partner and also as partner for IKS software implementation projects.  

The company is scheduling the different production areas by the IKS Kanban Board and delivers produced components via Kanban to the assembly lines.

Additionally some of the main suppliers are linked via IKS Web-Portal to the Kanban system. This e-Kanban module allows the online access to all required Kanban information via Internet.
The Lean team of the customer has started the roll-out of the Kanban system to reach the objective of a continuous material flow based on real Pull signals. In parallel the team is working on the improvement of some important Lean key factors like lot-size reduction, set-up time reduction, improved shop-floor layout etc. to create the basis for a successful project.

Gedia is using our electronic Kanban system IKS to support their production environment and to schedule huge pressing machines and the complete welding area via PULL signals. The IKS electronic Kanban board provides great opportunities to manage such shop-floor areas.

The manufactus e-Kanban system IKS helps to build the optimal sequence of Kanban orders at the packaging lines via visualization of the inventory at the finished goods warehouse. All Kanban orders are displayed at the IKS electronic Kanban boards. Based on this information the operators know exactly which products have to be packed next. This guarantees a high delivery performance to the final customers.

Some other production lines are still managed via classic manual Kanban boards, but it is planned to use IKS in a second step also at this production areas.

The transformation from PUSH to PULL is an important big step for each company. The management of Express Möbel did this step by the firm conviction to preapre the company for the future!

Since last year, the automotive business unit supports the internal and external Kanban processes by the IKS Small Business Edition.

All Kanban movements are tracked by radio-frequency barcode readers. This results in a high visualization of current inventory and creates automatic Kanban signals. Additionally our electronic Kanban Boards are used to display all Kanban orders directly at the shop-floor in a simple and effective way.

The customers plans the extended usage of the IKS system as soon as the Kanban system will be used for additional areas and products.
