Signal and Track Supplier and Intraorganization Kanban Replenishment

Welcome to the demo of the 25A, feature signal and track supplier and inter-organization Kanban replenishment in Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing. Kanban is an inventory replenishment method based on actual consumption. A Kanban card accompanies a standard size bin that signals when material needs to be replenished from an internal or external source. You can scan and replenish a Kanban card to request material at the required point of use.

The material can be sourced from an internal location or from an external supplier. With this feature, you can scan Kanban cards to signal replenishment of material at the point of use. You can also track status of material replenishment from an internal location or from an external supplier. It provides a modern and responsive user interface to control inventory and eliminate stockouts using the Kanban-based replenishment system.

Using this feature, you can easily send replenishment signals to suppliers or to an internal location using a mobile device, tablet, or desktop. In addition, you can monitor the status of replenishment to efficiently manage delivery of material at the point of use. In this demo, we will see how you can signal and track Kanban-based material replenishment using the Redwood Experience.

First, we will see how you can scan Kanban cards to trigger replenishment. To scan Kanban cards, we can either use the execute Kanban action in the work execution overview page or the execute Kanban task in the inventory management overview page. For this demo, we will scan Kanban cards through the inventory management overview page.

After logging in to the inventory management overview page, we will click on the Execute Kanban Task to navigate to the Kanban execution page in Redwood to scan Kanban cards to trigger replenishment. We will now scan Kanban cards to trigger replenishment of material using a simple and easy-to-use interface. After selecting the organization, we will click on the Next button. First, we will scan a Kanban card for replenishment. Next, we will scan another Kanban card to trigger replenishment. The Kanban cards have been scanned. Next, we will click on the Replenish button to signal replenishment.

As you can see here, a toast message is displayed indicating that the two cards have been successfully signaled for replenishment. This is how you can efficiently signal replenishment of material at a point of use using Kanban cards. Next, we will see how you can track Kanban-based material replenishment using the Redwood Experience. We will log in to the Inventory Management Overview page.

Being in the Inventory Management Overview page, we will click on the pull sequences task to navigate to the pull sequences user interface in Redwood. As you can see here, the Pull Sequences page is rendered in Redwood, and a pull sequence of the type supplier that was created earlier is displayed. Next, we will click on the item hyperlink to review the Kanban cards for the pull full sequence. Here are the Kanban cards created for the pull sequence. First, we will select two cards that are in status new and click on the Replenish button to trigger replenishment.

As you can see here, the status of the Kanban cards is changed from new to empty, indicating that the replenishment process has been initiated. As can be seen here, upon creation of the replenishment documents, which are purchase orders for supplier Kanbans, the status of the Kanban cards is changed from empty to in process. Once the material is received against the Kanban cards, the status of the cards changes from in-process to full, thus completing the replenishment cycle.

For a given Kanban card, you can review and track the activities. We will now click on the activity view link of a Kanban card to review the related activities. As you can see here, the details of the activities related to the Kanban are displayed. This is how Kanban-based replenishment can be monitored and tracked. This concludes the feature demo. Thank you for watching.
