Your manufactus Team

By using the eKanban starter tool of manufactus, the company will increase the transparency of the current Kanban situation and will work with fast signaling processes to reduce a lot of manual handling efforts.
The detailed analysis of the Kanban system is planned as a next step. Thereby it is planned to reduce the existing inventory levels and to improve the delivery performance for all Kanban parts.

Main objective of the company is the support of the existing Kanban system by capturing the Kanban movements via barcode readers. Based on this new scanning process the Kanban visualization will be increased and can be managed in a more efficient way. Additionally the complete Kanban calculation has been checked and re-worked during the project phase.

Smart Kanban Plus will replace the existing tool and the customer can extend the Kanban starter tool to our professional e-Kanban system IKS with a minimum of additional work.

Today the IKS Diagnostic Module offers the opportunity to analyze historical data in a graphical way. By the results the Kanban Analyst is able to optimize the inventory continuously and to monitor the lead-times.

The new IKS Analyzer module will offer all these benefits as well. But this new IKS add-on will also offer additional new functions to get all important information of your Kanban system in seconds. The first version will be available soon and will be evaluated by some of our customers. So we can gurantee some great improvements based on the user’s input.

We show you the room for improvements of your Kanban system in our e-Kanban workshop “Analysis”!
This workshop creates the basis to take the right decision for the future!

Please contact us for further information of our e-Kanban workshop!

Our electronic Kanban system will be used for the support of internal Kanban loops in the first phase. But it is planned to link also external suppliers via PULL processes and to set-up an intercompany Kanban system in the second phase.

Our customers always benefit from the wide range of already available functions to support the existing Kanban system, so that there is no need for time and cost consuming implementations.
The IKS functions are starting with a simple and efficient management of all Kanban data, offers a great visualization and ends in supporting of specific processes, like the handling of demand peaks.

By the fast & cost efficient implementation of our eKanban system we prevent the existing ressources of our customers and we enable the team to start the continuous improvement directly. This forces a fast ROI and was demonstrated also in our past projects.

Due to the input and requirements of our customers, the IKS add-on has been improved continuously.

The Kanban orders for a supplier can be displayed in real-time in a better way but now there are also different possibilities to work in an interactive way. For example the supplier can enter messages for the customer to signal critical situations and other important notes.

Please contact us to get more information!

Different types of Kanban are used at this site of the customer:
