Describe the overall process of KANBAN step by step.

Currently, SAP KANBAN functionality is used only for procuring raw materials
from outside vendors and transferring stock between plants.
Interplant transfers (STO's) use internally generated schedule lines for
replenishment. Vendor kanban uses Summarized JIT Calls to communicate JIT
requirements to suppliers.
Interplant Kanban is transparent to supplying plant. No additional work is required
from the supplying plant.
Advantages:
1. Keeps raw material inventory in check
2. Prevents overshipping
3. Incorrect inventory balances, BOMs, etc. do not affect shipping
4. Supplier schedules stay in sync with actual production
Disadvantages:
1. Requires more discipline from the supplier and the shop floor. Example:
controls in processing of scrap; maintenance and tracking of
Kanbancards;adherence to ship windows.
2. More master data to maintain.
3. May hide procedural or data problems.
