What’s on the factory team’s visual board?

Team culture and team system are only one of the contents of Kanban construction, not the core, nor the whole thing. So when designing a Kanban board, first of all, the content of the Kanban board should reflect the core management elements of the team, such as safety, learning, performance, service, etc. Kanban is the management tool of the team.

What elements and indicators the team management emphasizes and what core concepts are advocated are reflected on the bulletin board. Secondly, Kanban is the solidification and display of the excellent management model of the team. Since the signage space is limited, the highlights and distinctive practices in team management should be concentrated. Thirdly, the Kanban content module should be integrated with daily management.

Production role:

1. Master production plan

The theory of Kanban management does not involve how to prepare and maintain The master production plan starts with a ready-made master production plan. Therefore, companies that adopt just-in-time production need to rely on other systems to formulate master production plans.

2. Material requirements planning

Although companies using Kanban management usually outsource warehouse management to suppliers, they still need to provide suppliers with a long-term, rough material requirements plan. The general approach is to determine the planned consumption of raw materials based on the one-year finished product sales plan, and sign a package order with the supplier. The specific demand date and quantity are completely reflected by the Kanban.

3. Capacity demand plan

Kanban management does not participate in the formulation of the master production plan, and naturally it does not participate in the generation of capacity demand plan. Enterprises that implement Kanban management achieve a balanced production process through process design, equipment layout, personnel training and other means, thus greatly reducing the imbalance of capacity demands in the production process.

Kanban management can quickly expose processes or equipment with excess or insufficient capacity, and then eliminate the problem through continuous improvement. This method of analyzing the root causes of problems and solving them is worth learning from.
