Click Accept Calculations to replace the existing or current kanban quantities for a kanban
circuit with newly recalculated quantities. Once you accept the changes, the
new quantities are ready for implementation on the shop floor and the system
adds or subtracts the appropriate number of kanban cards. The status of the
circuit is Recalculated before the changes are accepted. After acceptance,
you can change the status as adjustments are made to the kanbans. Acceptance
of the new quantities marks the transition from the kanban planning to the
kanban execution process.
Kanban cards with the New
and In Circulation status can be changed to the
Surplus status and vice versa. Surplus cards have restricted usage.
However, they are counted as usable when calculating the number of new cards
that need to be created. Only
printed kanban cards that have their quantity recalculated will be made
obsolete after accepting the recalculation. Not printed cards will remain in
the same status as before the calculation. The other way you can
change the status of the cards to obsolete is by manually changing their
status.
If new kanban cards are needed when performing calculations, they should be created based on the following formula :
New Kanban Cards = Kanban Cards Required - (New + In Circulation + Surplus Kanban Cards)
This activity requires that the status of the kanban circuit be Recalculated and that the new kanban quantities differ from the current quantities.
