The Challenge: to collect real-time actionable information on the performance of the Kanban and Kitting systems, such that timely decisions can be made with regards to inventory exceptions and required on-hand quantities
Solution - Proplanner’s Plan For Every Part (PFEP)
This software product not only manages pre-production planning but also tracks real time delivery of inventory during production. It captures transactions throughout the day and informs the material handling experts if and when shortfalls occur before they occur. It also provides controls on material deliveries by only allowing what is required to support production to be delivered when it’s needed.
Proplanner System Benefits:
Proplanner’s new PFEP (Plan for Every Part) eKanan and eKitting modules will more than double the benefits you have achieved from Kanban and Kitting inventory management. In the first month after putting Proplanner software in place, our clients, who had earlier implemented classic Kanban and Kitting systems, reported 98% reductions in line stoppages, 66% reductions in replenishment time, 84% reductions in line-side inventory, and achieved nearly 50% reductions in materials handling staff.
Line stoppages – reduced 98%
Replenishment time – reduced 66%
Line-side inventory – reduced 84%
