Understanding DFM Kanban Management

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing supports kanban management as well as integration with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Kanban Management. Before you can begin using DFM Kanban Management, you must define kanban attributes in the item definition. Basic kanban attribute information is set up by item number and branch/plant. You can include additional information, such as commodity code, unit of measure, lot and serial number control, kanban planned item, and label type.

After DFM Kanban Management is set up, you use the Export Kanban Supply/Consumption Points program (RF31K42E) and the Export/Purge Kanban Master program (RF31K30E) to export kanban locations and kanban master records from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing.

During export, values for kanban sizes calculated in DFM populate the kanban size field in Manufacturing. The override flag in the F3016 table is set to1 for DFM imported kanban records. This prevents the Kanban Size Calculation program (R30450) in Manufacturing from recalculating the kanban size and overriding the DFM calculated kanban sizes.

You now perform kanban management within base manufacturing that supports lean manufacturing transactions. Nonreplenishable kanban items are processed through material requirements planning (MRP). Since type 0 kanbans are within the raw in-process process (RIP) area, the Kanban Processing program (P3157) enables check-in and check-out of type 0 kanbans, though no transaction occurs.
