KANBAN with Quantity Signal:

The first time a quantity is withdrawn from a kanban, the system sets the status to IN USE. Once
the kanban is completely empty, the status is set to EMPTY and replenishment is triggered. If the
withdrawal quantity exceeds the remaining quantity of this kanban, the system reduces the actual
quantity of the next kanban, which is then set to IN USE.
The sequence of the kanbans from which you can withdraw material is determined as follows:
First, the system empties kanbans with the status IN USE.
Then the system selects the kanban that has been set to the status FULL the longest.
Therefore, in this procedure (as opposed to KANBAN without a quantity signal), the actual
kanban quantity is of functional importance.
In the classic KANBAN procedure, after the kanban has been completely emptied, the employee
in production uses the kanban signal to set the status of the kanban to EMPTY. At no point before
the kanban is set to EMPTY is the system informed of the quantity still in the kanban.
Using the quantity signal, the employee in production does not trigger the kanban signal for
replenishment manually by setting the kanban status to EMPTY. Instead, the employee in
production or a PDC System enters the individual withdrawal quantities in the system directly. The
system subtracts each of these withdrawal quantities from the actual kanban quantity and when
the kanban quantity is zero, the system automatically sets the status of the kanban to EMPTY.
In KANBAN with quantity signal, you can also use all the functions available in the KANBAN
module.
