Kan Ban

[David_Baxter@xxxxxxxxxx]

Currently using 405cd and looking for anyone using BPCS to support Kan Bans or
reduced labor / production reporting. Ideally we want to eliminate the cutting
of shop orders, backflushing and labor reporting at the sub-assm level and only
cut shop orders and report production at the finished goods level. To accomplish
this we need a way of attaching the sub-components to there grand parents BOMs
so when we report the finished goods production we consume the lower level
components. If we simply add the components to the grand parent BOM we would
need to re-do all work instructions and drawings. Additionaly, we would end-up
with a finished goods BOM that is not accurate due to it showing the lowest
level components and not the sub-assm actualy used in production.
Any suggestions or experience would be appreciated.
