In these difficult economic times, production managers in small and large companies are demanding maximum mileage from every scarce production-floor dollar by relying heavily on lean visible control boards such as CardView JIT kanbans from Magnatag Visible Systems.
Many shops use the inventory card system for by creating a card for each item. When the items get low, the stock number and vendor is right there.
To address various flow-through priority tracking uses, the board kits come in five formats: Next-Job, Do-Done, On-Hand, Job-Load, Build-Board and in five sizes, displaying from 60 to 828 kanban cards. Each board is ready-to-use with everything needed to operate it, including multi-colored kanban cards in perforated sheets with a card-keying CD computer template and bright FlashSpot status labels.
