Some words about Kanban in general
Explore a hands-on business example of a kanban-driven PC production line, detailing components, buffers, external supply, and warehouse signals that trigger material replenishment.
Configure production supply areas in the system to stage materials for assembling computers, track stock in buffers and warehouses, and designate responsible personnel to monitor orders.
A control cycle is the loop in Kanban, between the consumption place and the production place. You need a material? Just send the signal to the production area which is manufacturing the part!
Kanban customizing in SAP focuses on activating the control cycle, tracking changes with change documents, and defining status sequences and production orders for in-house production and stock transfer strategies.
Learn how the kanban monitor tracks control cycles in release status, with container statuses, replenishment strategy, and shopfloor display settings to optimize production flow.
Set kanban to empty triggers replenishment and links to production orders, illustrating how control cycles, buffer status, and replenishment steps move from in-process to consumed in the SAP Kanban system.
Learn how to confirm production orders in the kanban monitor, set status to in-process, and manage stock movements to full, including handling costs and material documents.
Learn how PK21 (A21) changes kanban statuses by scanning a combat I.D., switching from weight to empty, then to in process, and linking to production orders and stock movements.
Create kanban control cycles in the production supply area, assign materials and responsibilities, configure replenishment and calculations, and print and unlock kanbans using PK17.
Learn to bulk create and update Kanban control cycles with mass processing in the SAP system. Copy cycles, prepare an Excel file, and move statuses from creation to released.
Change the life cycle status of kanban control cycles by applying a release date through mass processing and a status change transaction to enable scanning.
Learn two methods to unlock kanbans: print and unlock via BK 17, and unlock via Piguet 09 in kanban calculation, with printing recommended for controlled release.
Explore kanban on the shop floor, where buffers and signals drive replenishment strategies, producing automatic production orders and coordinating in-house manufacturing.
Demonstrates configuring the kanban supply source view to display materials by production line and assign responsibilities. Showcases release and in-process status, replenishment, and stock movements for keyboards, motherboards, and CPUs.
Explore how to set up kanban-based stock transfer with reservation in a production supply area, including control cycles, replenishment strategies, and transfer postings from warehouse to buffer.
Feed the Production storage location from a managed storage location (in WM). Set up the material, define the interfaces (storage type - storage bin) and create the control cycle, in order to have the line feeding. See the transfer order created, confirm it and observe all the movements made in the system.
Explore kanban list display and plant overview in a production supply area, tracing control cycles, material signaling to warehouse, and how empties trigger replenishment and reservations.
Use this field in the control cycle to prioritize the importance of the production. Based on how many containers are in empty status (check in the video what this means), you are able to arrange the control cycles differently in the Kanban Monitor.
Explore kanban error correction in a SAP computerized system, resolving stock deficits, managing replenishment and in-transit transfers across storage locations.
Explore the kanban control cycle with and without a separate goods receipt, detailing stock transfer, in-transit handling, reservations, and necessary corrections.
Learn how a trigger point and its replacement strategy drive kanban replenishment, creating a single production order for multiple components while considering capacity and in-house production.
Explore how SAP kanban calculation derives container demand from MRP, production versions, BOM, and supply areas; configure calculation profiles and automatic changes for replenishment and safety stock.
Demonstrate event-driven kanban, a one-time flow triggered by independent demand, and show how to create, release, and automatically delete the corresponding kanban card.
Use the benefit of SAP Standard to do, clean and easy, the implementation of the SAP Kanban. Starting from scratch, you will be able to understand the process, create you Kanban loops and start your production. We will go through the Kanban customizing, learn about classic and event-driven Kanban, create an entire flow and tailor your process to your needs. Make your Kanban system with the standard functions provided by SAP, without writing a single line of coding. Calculate the needed number of Kanban boxes, based on the demands from the customer, by using the build-in function for calculation.
You will learn:
- What is a production supply area and how to create this
- How to link the Inventory Management to the Kanban system
- Create the Kanban loops between different production supply areas (control cycle)
- Create different strategy for your business (in-house replenishment strategy, stock transfer replenishment)
- Use the event-driven kanbans (whai is and when to use it)
- See the signals triggered by the Kanban System on the Kanban Boards, for demans and supply source
- Make the Kanban Calculation based on independent requirements, after MRP run
With this course, you will be able, at the end, to create your process in SAP Kanban, without hiring external consultants. Step by step, the secrets will be revealed to you and you will understand better how the whole process works.
I hope you will enjoy it!
