I never experienced a Kanban type system before and never fully understood textbook or various graphic videos. But this video helped me grasp a better picture of what's' it's all about! thank you.
@Danh Pham Glad it was helpful!
The system is understandable its excellent mix between technology and kanban system. And for the end, I can say this video is mindblowing.
This video is manic! I'd like to learn something new here, but you guys are just stressing me out. I want to reduce stress!
This is amazing 😍 I'll be implementing my first Lean project in a factory in the food sector and this video gave me great ideas of how I plan of taking the first steps towards Standardization ❤️
Great Video guys. Love the breadcrumbs. Genius!
Great !!
Soo good system for alot inventory item.
I can copy that for my works. Thx for sharing
Amazing Mind blowing Thank for the great video Cheers 👍
FYI: A water spider is a Lean production personnel role centered around timely and accurate stock replenishment. The water spider team member is much like a mobile Kanban system that refills the production line with the required materials to maintain a steady flow.
The person filling a water spider position needs to have a good understanding of the process, excellent communication skills and has got to be able to follow standardized routes.
Absolutely amazing. Always been interested in your fulfillment flow, not just product improvement. Curious as to the average number of stations or processes each employee covers. How often do employees cover multiple disciplines not specifically trained in?
Wow! What a system, !
Nice film
What type of switch are you using for the card slot? We are using standard switches and this would be a great upgrade for us. And give Lukas a raise. Having a process engineer that is this detail oriented is a rare find.
What software can I use as a graphics archive?
@Max Maker The software that our graphics department shows in this video came with the printer that we use to print our labels. It's called Fiery Command WorkStation (from Ricoh). We utilized this system to organize and store our product labels. We also use an external hard drive to back up the product labels. If you have more questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to our graphics team graphics@fastcap.com
wow
Great Stuff! Where did you get he plastic trays for the paper? Thanks for all the videos.
They're recycled. Our blank stickers come in them from online labels.
How does Lukas Holland translate to AS in initials?
One other thing I noticed was the timing oneself. What happens if people forget to time themselves? How easy it for the FastCap people to remember to time themselves and record it?
How do you guys interface accounting with your kanban system? My team’s big concern with letting go of ERP/MRP is losing transaction records
@formula78350 Great question, we messaged our office crew to find out what system they use and we will get back to you with an answer.
THX, amazing system. But please order some pros to make the youtube material for you next time xD
What if some one losses the Kanban card by accident? The whole system for that section falls apart because no one is physically cheking inventory? How do you avoid that?
@Javier Ramos It all comes down to training. During training, we explain that our Kanbans are the life source of our company. We train our employees to be aware of Kanban locations, to be engaged with them, and we even discuss Kanbans in our morning meeting. If our employees notice any abnormalities, we have trained them to stop immediately and ask questions to figure out the issue. Every couple of months, we may have an issue with the Kanban being pulled at the wrong time, or a Kanban was delivered to the wrong location, and we discuss how it happened and fix the issue immediately.
So do you not have enough printing work need that you would have someone dedicated to handling the printing. Seems for printing there are multiple additional steps that are not documented that someone who handled production seems to have to know. Or you guys just showing what someone who handles printing would do and if that person is not available then someone who handles product production can also do? I do like how you created your own notification system and probably with some more work you can make it so that it wireless notify the water spider instead of making them constantly watching for lights.
Maybe I missed it but when they say water spider what do they mean? I know what a water spider is out in nature.
It's a term similar to stock picker but aren't limited to certain stock sections.
Great! Thanks! If dude could just talk a little slower, it would be better... but he clearly knows what is going on.
what are the people doing then when they are not putting piecework together??? Just sitting around? That's the part I have the toughest time wrapping my mind around.
Nope, other tasks, like packing, shipping, whatever. The beauty of lean is cross-training and multiple discipline work. Nothing FastCap does requires specialists, pretty much everyone can do everything especially when the work systems were polished to mirror finish like they do. I deeply admire their work system.
It seems all the stations have lights on. Could you use infrared switches to make it so that the lights at the station only turn on for someone using it?
We have come up with some creative uses of lights. Check out Paul Akers blog to keep up on all our improvements. paulakers.net/blog
Its good but maybe a bit of overprocessing.
So stressing the guy
Over Kanbaned.
You know, computers made this system obsolete about 30 years ago. I remember using a similar system 40 years ago.
Not really. Computers just help with narrow tasks like data organizing, word processing and messaging. Still need a lot of "physical" things like Kanbans in order to redesign a whole system.
That is the first Fast Cap video I didn't get to the end of. That guy talks way way to fast. I learned nothing
you are too fast .. in speaking .. slow please , to understand...
