So happy that it was helpful. We have a lot more to share on kanbans. This video was a very quick answer from a question from a listener, so I didn't do it thoroughly...just to give a quick overview. I'll try to continue that theme and address how Fastcap uses kanbans. Paul
***** I think we may have you hooked on lean. You should check out my book, 2 Second Lean. You can listen/read online for free (it's a quick read). 2secondlean.com/ Let me know what you think! Paul
I loved the mistake proofing and standard work in the print room :) I've honestly never worked for a company that would invest $150K in a printing system, but the results are very professional. The "breadcrumbs" method reminds me of the first system I set up at Price Pfister almost 20 years ago.
OMG where did you get all those plastic paper trays for your printer paper?!? Does fastcap make their own? I have an Epson Artisan 1430 printer. Since it's a wide format photo printer I have almost every size/type paper you can think of. In most paper sizes I have 3 different types matte, 3 types of glossy, 2 brands of transparency, and regular copy type paper for draft printing. That's 9 different types of papers for each paper size I want your lean printer paper setup. I need to organize.
A simpler way is to place one card / unit load and specify how many cards must accumulate to reorder economically. For example, with a min of 25 pcs and a max of 100 pcs, you could have 4 cards specifying 25 pcs/container; card 1 of 3; and have 4 cards in circulation. The trick is all 4 cards say card 1 of 3 so any 3 cards will trigger replenishment.
Paul, wow, VERY, VERY good video! and something i've been wanting to do in my office, and parts/tool storage area for sometime now. esp good for small parts inventory.!!! any recommendations on rack organizers? does fastcap make any, or should i order from U line?
How do you calculate the number of stocks eg. in the paper rack? And also finished products need to be calculated to as low as possible level. But need to keep a minimum level, if you want to handle a bigger order. Or is it depends on the kanban type? (In house production/ external partner production...) In house I think you can fulfill 1 or 1000 orders, but if you need to order something from an external partner that takes a longer time.
I would love to have a structured system as good as this, but I'm struggling to see how it could be implemented well with products that have long lead times, and are generally larger in nature. I'd be afraid the card would get lost if it was stuffed in a stack of large boxed at the top of a pallet rack. We have 4-6 month lead times from our overseas manufacture between the ordering process, manufacturing, waiting to need enough product that the container can be filled (but not overfilled), and transport. Now we can probably get that down closer to 3, but even then, it seems the Kanban system is better suited to JIT and smaller parts...or am I just not LEANing enough. :)
The kanban works excellent for any size part, small, large, short lead time, long lead time. It is a magnificent tool that can transform any organization...do it!
Hi Paul, It is one of the most informative simple videos about Kanban. But I could not understand the difference in Kanban colors? what is waterspider Kanban? what piecework? whay there are many internal production Kanbans. The video stimulated my thoughts. Thanks
Mohammed it's very simple. We have multiple different sources for things that we need within our facility. For example, if it's something we produce that needs to be delivered to the shipping area it would be a red Kanban. if that was something we purchased from an external vendor it would be a yellow Kanban. If it was something that needed to go to a particular department (i.e. the graphic design for labels) it would be a blue Kanban. Paul
Wow. This is useful, thanks! I'm going to school here with you guys. Check this out: Looks like this hospital implemented a partial Kanban for supplies without using cards, and without replacing the existing reorder software. The pull request signal is simply an empty bin on the top shelf - Bam! (OK, I know this can't be anything really new, but the effect can be electric if you've not experienced it before.) th-cam.com/video/yjSwwPF5BUU/w-d-xo.html

Paul just finished your 2 second lean book, nice to now watch and learn from your videos as well. Thanks
Excellent - clear, informative, no-bullshit.
midcitygym just our style!
Thanks for sharing, Paul. Your videos are helping me a lot.
this set up blew my mind, i was in awe for about half a hour afterwards, such a clever system could be used anywhere and it would make so much sense

Nice Kanban set up!
Thanks! Makes a world of difference! Paul
Excellent!!! Just love the Lean System....
Felix from Nebraska
We do too!!! Thanks Felix!
Absolute creative and time saving; love it!
Tina Basharel Thanks Tina! Paul
No, thank you!

Best video ever
Thanks a lot Simon. Paul
That is the way we buy the paper, in individual clam shells. Paul
Great idea. Thanks, Paul
Thanks FastCap
Fantastic explained, very clear definition of how you can use Kanban. :D
Thanks Kasper!
I love this system Paul. Awesome!

also, what kind of security cameras do you use in your home. are they Analog, or digital IP Cameras?

I have used KANBAN in IT Projects, but this something new to me. Never thought this way KANBAN will get implemented. Great
Great. Love to see it implemented. Send us a video! Paul

FastCap Thanks Paul. I'm really happy to see such lean application. I wish you success in your lean Journey
Mohamed Abdel-Momen And to you on yours! Paul
Cool. Paul
Thanks! Check out our Kaizen Boxes and Erasable Kaizen Labels. Paul

I have a video. Search for tSMqXa7q6h4 or Kaisen Boxes Organizing System. Paul
