JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management from Oracle enables you to streamline the day-to-day functions of the shop floor and associated departments. Kanbans are execution tools that you use when the production and inventory control systems are based on a pull system rather than a push system.
With the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management system, you can:
Define a kanban master for a kanban-controlled item.
Define kanban sizing calculation methods.
Define specific parameter values for kanban-specific and calculation-specific parameters.
Run the Kanban Size Calculation program (R30450) to establish the size of the kanban.
Work with kanban-controlled items in the planning systems.
Identify when insufficient inventory exists.
Perform kanban card check-ins and check-outs.
Define ad hoc kanban cards to support a spike in demand.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management system integrates with these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems from Oracle:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Costing and Manufacturing Accounting
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management is one of many systems that you use for supply chain management. Supply chain management enables you to coordinate the inventory, raw material, and labor resources to deliver products according to a managed schedule. The systems within Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Supply Chain Management suite are fully integrated to ensure that information is current and accurate throughout all of the business operations. It is a manufacturing system that formalizes the activities of company and operations planning, as well as the execution of those plans. We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters in this implementation guide.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management from Oracle supplies the basic information about each item, such as part number, description, unit of measure, stocking type, location, and lot control information. It enables you to track materials between inventory or storage locations and the shop floor. You can manage inventory issues and commitments, complete orders, and track order quantities throughout the production process.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management from Oracle provides information about bills of material, work centers, routing instructions, and product costs.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management from Oracle uses bills of material and routing instructions to process work orders and schedule work activity within the plant.
The system also records material issue transactions to determine the actual quantities of materials that are used in the production process, versus the materials that are indicated on the parts list for the work order or rate schedule.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Costing and Manufacturing Accounting from Oracle uses bills of material, routing instructions, and work center information to calculate total material, labor, machining, and overhead costs for each primary unit of the parent item.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning from Oracle uses JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management information to plan finished goods, raw material, and purchased pasts that are required to manufacture an item.
It uses sales orders and forecasts to pass down demand for items through the bills of material to the components.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management from Oracle enables you to generate sales orders for outside assembly work and transfer orders between branch/plants.
This section provides an overview of the steps that are required to implement the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management system.
In the planning phase of the implementation, take advantage of all sources of information, including the installation guides and troubleshooting information. A complete list of these resources appears in the preface in About This Documentation with information about where to find the most current version of each.
When determining which electronic software updates (ESUs) to install for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management, use the EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant. EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant, a Java-based tool, reduces the time required to search and download ESUs by 75 percent or more and enables you to install multiple ESUs at one time.

A business interface is a set of components that implementation teams can use to create an integration between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and an external system. Business interfaces can include one or more of these business interface components:
Business Services
Real-Time Events
Batch Import and Export Programs
