On Tuesday August 6, 2002 at 11:00 (EST) we will be conducting a webinar
showing how organizations can implement 'lean practices' on the shop
floor quickly, easily and very cost-effectively. We will demonstrate our
latest enhancement for XA for iSeries: Electronic KanBan. Electronic
KanBan is a kanban enabler that dramatically simplifies the process of
implementing lean manufacturing / kanban practices. We will also cite
real examples of companies that have realized significant results by
successfully implemented Electronic KanBan



Lean IS IT!

In these tough economic times manufacturers are trying to do more with
less! Many CEO's are creating initiatives to reduce inventories and
implement lean practices. (i.e. Flow manufacturing, Synchronous Flow,
Demand Flow, Visual Manufacturing, Demand Pull, etc.) Electronic KanBan
makes lean manufacturing objectives easier and faster to achieve!

 Here's How it Works

When a component bin is emptied a simple wand or a barcode or kanban
card initiates the appropriate Manufacturing Order (MO), Purchase Order
(PO), Repetitive Schedule (REP), InterSite Transfer (ISL), or Warehouse
Transfer (TW). When the bin is replenished a second wand of the barcode
closes the order, creates the appropriate inventory transaction and back
flushes labor (where appropriate). The system is highly flexible to
accommodate a variety of business environments. Electronic KanBan can
also be configured to automatically generate e-mail notifications to
suppliers and other key personnel.



 We feel strongly that Electronic KanBan can be a viable solution for
many MAPICS users, and can offer them a real operational advantage.
