1 Introduction to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management

This chapter contains the following topics:

1.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management Overview

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 Product Data Management from Oracle provides information about bills of material, work centers, routing instructions, and product costs.

1.2.3 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management

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.

1.2.4 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Costing and Manufacturing Accounting

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.

1.2.5 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning

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.

1.3 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management Implementation

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.
