IKS Kanban case study Gerd Mosca AG
Industry: Mechanical Engineering
Challenge: Lack of flexibility and transparency in production planning and control.
Solution: Introduction of the e-Kanban system “IKS” for decentralized control.
Result: Increased transparency, efficiency, and material availability.
IKS Kanban case study Flextronics
Industry: EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services)
Challenge: Reducing inventory and planning effort; increasing flexibility and material availability.
Solution: Implementing an electronic Kanban system (IKS).
Result: Inventory halved, material availability >99%, savings in the millions.
IKS Kanban case study Sunrise Medical
Industry: Medical technology (wheelchair manufacturing)
Challenge: The manual Kanban system was successful, but lacked transparency, required intensive maintenance, and provided no data for measuring supplier performance or proactively identifying problems.
Solution: Implementation of the e-Kanban system “IKS” for digital recording, management, and evaluation of all Kanban cycles.
Result: Problems such as excessive inventory and unreliable delivery times were made visible. This created a data basis for further optimization and improved supplier evaluation.
IKS Kanban case study Baumer Group
Industry: Manufacturer of sensors and system solutions for factory and process automation.
Challenge: The manual Kanban system had reached its limits, making it difficult to handle many components and integrate external suppliers.
Solution: Implementation of the e-Kanban system “IKS,” including an electronic Kanban board and a specially developed chaotic inventory management system.
Result: Significantly improved clarity and process reliability, dynamic order prioritization, process standardization, optimized inventory and storage space, and improved material availability.
IKS Kanban case study Gedia Spain
Industry: Automotive industry (body stampings and welded assemblies)
Challenge: Implementing a PULL control system (Kanban) in a machine-intensive production facility with a wide range of parts, where a manual system would be too complex and error-prone.
Solution: Implementing the e-Kanban system (IKS) for digital visualization and dynamic control of production orders in real time directly at the machines.
Result: Significant reduction in inventory (up to 40%) and planning effort, while simultaneously increasing material availability and transparency.
