View Kanban Calculation/Simulation Results

Explanation

You can evaluate an updated kanban simulation or other calculation for a kanban circuit. After running the calculation, you can view the results in either the Kanban Circuits page or the Recalculation tab of the Kanban Circuit page.

You can also run the Kanban Planning Master Report to see a summary of the change recommendations. The results of this report help you determine how to adjust the updated kanban quantities for the circuit before you accept the changes for implementation on the shop floor.

The Kanban Utilization Report gives you an overview of how kanban-tracked parts are used. It includes a graph showing the inventory transactions for the specified location, including the quantities received to and issued from that location. You can specify a date range to limit the view of the inventory activity. The data items displayed on the graph are Number of Kanbans, Quantity Issued, Quantity Not Issued (optional), and Quantity Received.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that kanban calculations be executed for a circuit.

System Effects

As a result of this activity the system displays any recommended changes between the current and recalculated kanban quantities for your analysis.
