"E-Kanban" is an electronic version of the traditional Kanban system used in manufacturing and supply chain management to optimize material flow and production processes. The Kanban system is based on visual signals that indicate the need for material or products and enable the control of replenishment to ensure smooth production.
Typical functions of software in the "E-Kanban" domain are:
Material tracking: The software enables tracking of materials along the supply chain, displaying current inventory levels and demand.
Automatic inventory updates: It automatically updates inventory when materials are consumed or added, and generates automatic reorder requests as needed.
Real-time data updates: The software provides real-time updates of inventory data and demand information to enable accurate and reliable material planning.
Alerts and notifications: It sends alerts and notifications for low inventory levels or other events to take timely action.
Analysis and reporting: The software provides analysis tools and reporting functions to identify trends in material consumption, detect bottlenecks, and evaluate the efficiency of the Kanban system.
Integration with other systems: It can seamlessly integrate with other systems such as ERP systems, warehouse management systems, or production planning systems to optimize material flow and production.
Custom configurations: It allows for the customization of Kanban rules, such as minimum and maximum inventory levels, reorder points, and delivery schedules, to meet the company's specific requirements.
