  The means of information exchange is indispensable

  

  Whether it is the basis of the 5S management, or JIT production, or the value of the flow chart is drawn, the exchange of relevant information. One of the important tools in the Kanban as an important means of information exchange and lean production management system.

  

  Tongsudejiang, Kanban is a small piece of paper, written on a variety of requirements and information. In lean production is mainly divided into:

  

  Kanban: A) process Kanban (process production instructions) (B) signal Kanban production production indicator)

  

  Handling Kanban: A) process handling Kanban (B) handling instructions) delivery of purchased items (parts orders, Kanban delivery instructions)

  

  Temporary Kanban: temporary production use

  

  Digital Signage

  

  Kanban management is a branch of visual management, is a specific application of visual management, mainly for the management of the project, especially for the information with the transparent management activities. It through various forms such as slogans, status board, charts, electronic screens to file, mind or spot the hidden information revealed to anyone can grasp the management status and the necessary information, thereby enabling rapid development and implementation of countermeasures. Therefore, Kanban management is to discover problems, is very effective and intuitive way to solve the problem, is one of the outstanding on-site management, which is the essential tool.

  

  In the use of Kanban management tools for production, we should follow five principles:

  

  1 after the process only when necessary, to move forward to receive the necessary number of parts and components: the need to completely change the existing processes and methods.

  

  2 before the process should only produce enough quantity, in order to supplement the parts received after the process. Under these two principles, the production system is a natural combination of conveyor belt system, production time to achieve balance.

  

  3. Bad product send backward step: after the process is not in stock, after the process once found defective must stop production, and defective products returned to pre process.

  

  The number of Kanban should minimize the use 4. The maximum inventory number of Kanbans on behalf of parts.

  

  5 should be in order to adapt to the small changes in demand the use of kanban. Change of plans by the market demand and production of emergency situation, in accordance with the number of Kanban removed naturally.

  

  Kanban management is the management of the project hope is displayed through all kinds of management board, management method is let people know. Kanban management is first-class on-site management an important part, is to customer confidence and enterprise interior to create a competitive atmosphere, a very important means to enhance transparency in the management.

  

  Under JIT pull production mode, enterprises only after receipt of customer orders began the production of, all production activities of enterprises are in order to procurement, manufacturing, distribution, storage is no longer in the traditional sense of the storage of goods warehouse, but circulation of materials in the process of a "hub" is in logistics operation of a site. Material is according to the order information requirements and flow, so the elimination of the dead material from the root, thus eliminating the "inventory"".

  

  In actual operation, want to really achieve "zero inventory", the enterprise is a certain degree of difficulty, after all, the enterprise is in constant operation, will appear a small amount of material backlog and sluggish. Enterprises can through the non inventory reserves, entrusted with the operation of the warehouse storage and storage of goods, collaboration and other ways to solve. In general, the production and distribution operations are not more sensitive to the delivery time without buffer stock. Whether the production materials or finished goods, logistics and distribution to a certain extent, the impact of its inventory. Therefore, through the establishment of a sound logistics system and information process, the implementation of rational distribution, enterprise in a timely manner will according to production order delivery of goods to the hands of users, in this process through items in transit transportation and circulation processing, reducing inventory. Enterprises can adopt the standard zero inventory supply operation mode and reasonable distribution system, so that the goods in the transport to achieve storage, so as to achieve zero inventory.
