Electronic KanBan is a product developed by Agility, Inc. to facilitate the implementation of lean / kanban methodologies. Electronic KanBan captures shop floor transactions and automatically creates orders in your primary business (ERP) system. Electronic Kanban automatically creates manufacturing orders, purchase orders, repetitive schedules, and warehouse transfers. With a simple wand of a barcode, a worker on the shop floor can initiate a kanban replenishment order. A second wand of the barcode closes out the order, backflushes allocations and labor (where appropriate) and creates the appropriate inventory transactions. The system can also initiate e-mail notifications to employees or trading partners when a kanban transaction is triggered.
