Kanban in production

Hi,
Can anyone explain me, how to use KANBAN for production ?

Dear,
The difference between Classical Kanban & Event Driven Kanban is in case of Classical Kanban there are minimum two bins which you can use for replenishment as & when it is required whereas in case of Event Driven Kanban you have one bin only which is deleted as & when replenishment is completed i.e. it can be used only for one time procurement only.So  you need to decide Classical Kanban / Event Driven Kanban suits your needs. Accordingly I will provide you more details.
Revert with the same.

  • KANBAN In Production still Generate Discrete Orders

    Hello...
    We are using KANBAN for In house Production, we define a new type of Order for this process.
    We have the problem that the MRP is generating automatically the discrete production orders, and the KANBAN order do the technicall complete, so we have to reopen our KANBAN order and do technicall complete the production orders that MRP generate.
    What we miss in configuration? how I can solve this issue?

    Hi,
    Will you explain the problem detail?
    In the control cycle select the strategy as production order with MRP.
    So when you create kanban production order system will consume the MRP generated production order.

  • Kanban triggering production order

    Hi Guys,
    I am working in a project where my client is using kanban to triggers production order....once the status is set to empty, stock will replenish from supply source and in the supply as soon as the stock quantity is consumed by kanban it will triggers a production order..........
    Can anybody tell me how to map it and what are the settings for kanban?

    Hi
    Steps in SAP: (Discrete Manufacturing - Classic kanban)
    1) Maintain Supply Area T code:PK05
    2) Create Material Master with all relevant Kanban Data Eg: JIT Delivery schedule, Supply area
    T code: MM01
    Create BOM,Routing,Work Centre for which are all required to carry out Discrete manufacturing cycle- CS01,CR01,CA01
    3) Create Control Cycle: T code: PKMC
    4)Go to Demand Kanban Board T code: PK 13 N
    5)Convert Waiting Kanban to Empty (Using Kanban Board/ T code:PK21)
    6) Do the confirmation & Goods Receipt for order/ Convert Empty Kanban to Full (Using Kanban Board/ T code:PK21)
    Similarly you can try other Kanban procedures like u2013
    KANBAN with Quantity Signal , One-Card KANBAN, Event-Driven KANBAN Input: (For Classic Kanban)
    Input: (For Classic Kanban)
    Expected Results
    1. Maintain Supply Area T code:PK05 :-    supply are will be created
    2. Create Material Master with all relevant Kanban Data Eg: JIT Delivery schedule, Supply area
    T code: MM01 :-  Proper Master Data will be created
    3. Create BOM,Routing,Work Centre for which are all required to carry out Discrete manufacturing cycle- CS01,CR01,CA01 :- 
    4. Create Control Cycle: T code: PKMC :- Control Cycle/material will be created
    5. Go to Demand Kanban Board T code: PK 13 N :- Display of Kanban Control Cycles with Kanban
    6. Convert Waiting Kanban to Empty : -  Production order will be generated
    7. Do the confirmation & Goods Receipt for order/ Convert Empty Kanban to Full :-
    Kanban signal changes from Empty (Red) to Full (Green)

  • Kanban: in-house production. relation kanban - replenishment order

    Dear Experts,
    We are investigating the posibilities of using kanban for in-house production. We work with production orders. I have set the test system so it works with classic Kanban and a replenishment strategy that will create PP production ordres.
    The system works OK. When the KANBAn is set to EMPTY (in the kanban board for instance) , a replenishment element is generated. The relation is 1 KANBAN - 1 Production order.
    Is it possible to "assign" two KANBANS to a single replenishment element (productio order in my case)? In some cases two or more kanbans will be emptied at the same time (in the KANBAN board for instance), and this would reduce the "noise" in the system.
    Somehow in the documentation "PP-KANBAN" manual, inside "KANBAN control. in-house production" some other option to reduce the amount of production orders is mentioned, but not very clearly explained how to do this.
    Thanks for your answers,
    Arturo

    Hello,
    Your question is not clear to give correct feedback. Do you want to wprk with multiple KANBANS with production orders?
    I am not understanding about the sentence "reduce the amount of production orders"
    If you want to work work minimum production orders then you can automate the KANBAN replinishment through MRP.

  • To change the status of the KANBAN

    Hello Experts,
    Please let me know how to change the status of the KANBAN from empty to full.
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards,
    zubera

    Hi zubera,
    As quantum has suggested we can change the status of the Kanban in Kanban board...... in additon to that the GR of the replenishment object created through kanban (PO , Production order , STO) etc changes the status of the Kanban.

  • KANBAN and Operation level confirmations

    We are planning to use the SAP KANBAN. Our company uses SAP 4.7.
    Currently they have visual KANBANs opearting in the factory.
    We plan to use KANBAN with Production Order strategy. The problem is that ,  we have multiple opeartions within one KANBAN cycle.  And question is,  can we use SAP KANBAN with milestone confirmations? So that if KANBAN cart moves from one opeartion to another, opeartor can scan the barcode  or by some other means can confirm  that opeation  as a part of KANBAN and then  with final confirmation posts the goods receipt of finished product.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Mankai,
    1) std SAP KANBAN on a status change do the final confirmation of the production order?
    Answer
    Yes, when you change the KANBAN status from Empty--> Full, then production order confirmation and GR against the production done automatically.
    2)  when status is changed from inprocess to complete, can SAP do the confirmation of the production order?
    Answer:
    When you made KANBAN bin Empty, then system triggers planned /production order. When you start actual manufacturing
    activity then scan the bar code and change the bin status from Empty --> Inprocess.
    So when you see the kanban board you can visualize the what are the production order execution activity are actually started.
    after completing the manufacturing activity then scan the bar code and change the bin status from Inprocess --> Full, then  system will do the confirmation of production order and GR done automatically.
    First you define the status as Empty --> Inprocess --> Full.

  • Event Driven Kanban Process

    Hi,
    I tried to follow the process mentioned from other threads on this subject but with no success.
    Scenario:
    Header Mtrl: A
    Assembly: B [E-D KANBAN]
    Assembly: C
    There is a requirement for A=100 ea. There must be dep.req generated for B = 100 ea??? as per the event  [correct me if I am wrong].
    How to exectute the above scenario?
    Can anyone guide with the work flow and TCode for the E-D Kanaban.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers
    Ramesh

    Q: Well, if the scenario which I mentioned is not ED what exactly it is - Please ellobrate?
    This scenario is not ED, this can be addressed by Kanban with MRP controller, in case of inhouse production it will be with
      the replinshment type 4 .
    Q 1/ If we need to manually create the ED signal in PK23 what advantage does we have compared to the MRP run?
    It is not any advantage, this is how it can be done.
    Q 2/ There is a order for A=100 ea. How the person responsible in the supply area will know that there is a req. for B (ED KANBAN) material?. How the person responsible for the supply area track these requirements?
    In case if you are working with kanban + MRP , you can use the program SAPMMPKC which can be scheduled in the BG to 
    Q 3/ I appreciate, if you could throw more light in - how automatically the ED is triggered once it receive the order/req.?
    Apart from all, i think you need to read more about the kanban and how it works.
    Generally kanban are used where there is continious flow between 2 workcentres.
    ie ) a constant demand and supply .
    10 containes flows between 2 workcentres in which one workcentre is supply and  another one is demand then kanban is used.
    during such situation if you are planing to increase one container just for 1 weeek to meet your increased demand ( like christmas, new year) then Event driven kanban can be used.
    Hope most of your querries are answered . you can also check about kanban here

  • Control cycle for KANBAN.

    I want to cosume componenets using my KANBAN BINS.
    I maintained my supplying areas.  and when coming to the control cycle. Do I have to maintain control cycle for each component that I use in maufacturing against each supply area?  or is it only for FERTS

    Hi,
    1. When you tell consume compoenents means you are talking about Goods issue.
    2. Kanban needs to be done for a Inhouse prodcued material or externall procured material
    3. In both cases it does a Goods receipt and relevant goods issue posting.
    4. so if you only need to do consumption it is not possible.
    5. Genearlly it can be maitained for the FERT or halbs which has  bom, routing releavent master data
    6.For the inhouse manufacture kanban below is the highlevel step
    7. and wehen you do status cahnges like full to empty a planned order or prod order will be created.
    8. when you change status empty to ful then GR will be posted and GI will be done immediatelly ( based on the control cycle)
    9. Kindly refer the attached link for further details.

  • KANBAN in house replenishment

    Hi, I got some tricky requirement from my client, could you guys help me with this.
    i two work centers namely W1, W2 with storage locations s1, s2 respectively. normally i do stock transfer to W1 kanban supply area K1 from main warehouse W. component C1 needed to make a finished material in W1 will be manufactured in W2 with name C2 which has components D1 and D2 with stock in S2. requirement is they just want to backflush d1 and d2 from s2 whenever kanban bin (for C1) in K1 is empty because they does not care any mfg process of C2 and consider only stocks of D1 and d2 for inventory purpose. iam thinking of creating production order whenever bin is empty and performing confirmation without printing any shopfloor papers so that i can backflush d1 and d2 and can do auto G/R of C2 to s1.
    is there any other way to do this scenario without kanban because main purpose is to back flush components from s2.
    thanks in advance.

  • To handle scrap parts in production kanban

    Hi all
    We are running kanban production in machining centers. A kanban card is shot to EMPTY to generate a production order before production and then shot to FULL to make goods receiving 101 after production. If there is scrap parts happening during the production of a kanban, what is the right way to handle? To be specific, I have the following questions and let's say the kanban size is 20 pieces -
    1. Should we always fulfill a kanban with a full kanban size, meaning we produce 21 pieces when the operator finds 1 piece of scrap? Or should we just finish production of 20 pieces no matter how many of them are scrapped? What if the QC department finds another 1 piece of part out of tolerance afterwards? When on earth should the kanban card be shot to FULL?
    2. If the scrap part has happened due to the bad quality of raw material, should we still do scrapping movement 551 in SAP? I mean, we will need to ask for replacement for the bad materials and it should not go to our cost center finally.
    I understand the questions could be naiive but really any input would be highly appreciated.
    yzh

    Hi,
    system only knows that if the BIN is Full , it propose the GR. You need to decide whether you really need a good materials in the bin or not
    you have the option to do.
    1. If you need the 20 pieces without scrab in one Bin , you need to have the final operation as the inspection in the Routing. so when ever the material is going faulty you can scrab it and you can fill the Bin with the good materials .
    or 
    2. If you donot worry about the lot as you told 20 pieces with/ without the rejection material . you produce the material for 20 alone . it may have faulty or scrab one in them. afterr inspection you can do rejection.
    Its depend on the business the end user need. 
    1. for srab the material , you need to use the 551 movement. obviously it will ask for the cost center.
    if you have maintianed the cost center for rejection materil. you can enter this alone.
    or if you need to do the rework for this material. you need to create the new rework order in the co07.
    the order should have the order type -rework.

  • Does Visual Studio Online support filtering Product Backlog/Sprint Views and Kanban by Area?

    There seems to be guidance out there now that suggests using one Master Team Project (with Areas and Iterations for partitioning) for everything rather than a Team Project per Application/Solution as the 'out of the box' product sort of steers you towards.
    If this guidance is valid, and I've heard that Microsoft use this approach internal, then is it possible to follow this guidance when using Visual Studio Online?
    I ask because it appears that in order to follow the 'Master Team Project' approach you need to be able to filter various elements of the TFS UI by Area and Iteration in order to allow a discrete view of just the material relating to one 'logical' application,
    team, etc.
    Whilst I see how on-premise TFS can do some of this, I can't see any obvious way to do this with Visual Studio Online - and I'm new to that particular product so accept I may have missed something.
    So my question is, can you follow the 'Master Team Project' approach if using Visual Studio Online and if so could someone steer me in the right direction please?
    Thanks

    Hi  RedDwarf62,
    Visual Studio Online(formerly Team Foundation Service) is a cloud-based service. When work with it, you can take it as TFS but no infrastructure to manage. You can follow the guide to work with Visual Studio Online.
    To have mulpitle Applications/Solutions in one team project or use a team project for each application depends on you and the relationship between solutions/projects. If the solutons/applications has refences each other, it would be better to include
    them in the same team project. 
    Working within a single Team Project also has its benefits. You can check this blog for more informaiton:

  • Transaction BORGR: No tolerance on goods receipt for Kanban calloff

    Hello,
    we have the following situation:
    - MM scheduling agreement with tolerance of 10% for under and overdelivery, production supply "summarized JIT call" is set.
    - KANBAN cycle has 1 empty container with a summarized JIT call for replenishment, quantity 10 pieces.
    - ASN has been created with BORGR transaction, it contains: 1 line item for the material with delivery quantity 9 pieces, assigned to this line item is the JIT call with notified quantity 9 pieces as well.
    My expectation was that the JIT call can be booked with 9 pieces as it is inside the 10% tolerance defined for the scheduling agreement. In addition, I expected the KANBAN container be set to full.
    Instead, the following error message is given:
    'Post GR' carried out without success
    (Message no. BORGR215)
    Because of previous error, dispatching is not possible for ID 0180573431
    (Message no. /SPE/ID_HANDLING011)
    Inbound Delivery 0180573431 00010
    (Message no. BORGR210)
    Total of the summarized JIT calls does not match the current delivery qty
    (Message no. BORGR540)
    Changing the delivery quantity and the notified JIT quantity to 10 pieces, the goods receipt is booked correctly.
    I only found the following notes that deal with tolerances but they are outdated, as we are using DIMP release 603:
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/393421
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/508215
    Has anybody faced a similar problem or can help me with this?
    Thanks!

    Hello Jiaul,
    Sorry I may have mislead you.  The actual error message is "Goods Receipt for Production Order XXXX can only be made on 2010.08.25 to 2010.08.27".  These two dates are the Start Date and FInish Date for the Production Order in CO03, 
    The Basic Start Date for the current Production Order is  2010.08.25
    The Basic Finish Date for the current Production Order is 2010.08.27
    I think what it means is that you can only Post Goods Receipt for the Production Order only after the Basic Start Date of the Production Order.  Do you know where I can find the configuration for this message?
    Thanks

  • Scheduling Agreement with Kanban

    I was looking in to the forum and as per my understanding FRC and JIT schedule, On the days on which the next FRC date (1st. Monday in the month) or the next JIT date (Monday each week) is reached, scheduling agreements with the above profile settings are selected and SA releases (delivery schedules to be issued to the vendor) created (because the next creation date has been reached).
    In my case I like to aggregate the requirment daily and send to the vendor end of everyday .What setting I need to do and what will be the process.I am using this functionality with KANBAN.
    thanks in advance

    Eduardo,
    We already decided to use Kanban with Scheduling agreement. We have some MRO parts which we move from one Main storage location to another storage location in production area and once someone will scan the main storage location and if  it hits the reorder point it will generate the external scheduling agreement to the vendor. If we have agreement for different parts with same vendor it will combine all the parts in one scheduling agreement and the other thing business want send these scheduling agreement to vendor on the same day not in 14 days or once in a week.
    Please let me know how what I have to do to achieve this functionality and we are using LPA agreement.
    Thanks

  • What are options for applying non-inventory costs to production orders?

    We have a non-inventory costs that need to be assigned to product produced on production orders.  There are two processes -make-to-order and make-to-stock.
    Currently we use activity rates to apply labor and burden costs to our production.  We use separate cost centers where needed to ensure that we have sufficient granularity to our activity rates applied.
    We have a few specific issues where we need to understand the options for applying costs -
    1) We have freight and duty costs related to inbound raw material that we want to assign to our final product.  The amount assigned may be either a specific amount (or a specific amount per model), or a % of the total cost on that production order.
    2) We have material on the production order bill of material that is called out by quantity and we are using discrete backflush, however we have found there are issues with the accuracy of the quantities.  We want to have this product ordered using KANBAN (bin ordering) and have the value relieved from inventory when the bin is issued to production.  The cost on the production order is envisioned to be an average amount for the product - or an average amount by model.
    3) We want to have a portion of cost for production scrap included in the cost of each product produced. (similar to freight and duty).
    In all cases- the amount can change depending on analysis from accounting regarding freight and duty costs (these fluctuate depending on the cost savings we achieve with combined loads and depending on the amount of out of country sourcing), the scrap amount may change periodically depending on the initiatives to reduce scrap on the production floor, etc.
    We currently use three activity types, labor, burden and tooling.  It is my understanding that there is a limitation in SAP that keeps us limited to 6 activity types.
    My questions are:
    Are we limited on activity types? these are an option to apply additional costs, but may not be the best option if we want to change the amount applied based on model or apply as a percentage.
    Are there other options for applying costs that we can explore? I want to be sure we take into account the various options available before we start down a specific path.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    As clarification- we are using standard costing for our raw material.  We currently accumulate the incoming freight in a balance sheet account.  This is treated as part of our inventory.  We have considered using an activity type with a activity added to the BOM to apply the cost to the production order.  Then we could use the secondarly cost element data to book an entry to relieve the freight account on the balance sheet.
    Because we use standard costing- access to see production order variance is critical and must be maintained in any process we select. We also use COPA reporting- so the costing information must be able to flow to COPA for the specific orders/products/serial numbers.
    We are doing make to order (production order / sales order specific combination) but also looking at a make to stock process - so the method to apply costs must take both of these configurations into consideration.
    Rajneesh - you mentioned that I am limited to 6 activities in a work center- but does that mean I can have more than 6 activity types in SAP but only 6 activities in a work center/cost center combination?
    Thank you.
