Integrating Kanban with MRPII

the long version

Louis describes his innovative Automated Flow Technology (AFT) as a powerful method for integrating MRPII with a kanban pull system. By integrating MRPII, kanban bar codes, and a simple version of electronic data interchange, his breakthrough system can substantially lower inventory and significantly eliminate non-value-adding activities. Louis details how to automate, calculate, implement, and perpetuate an automated kanban system that is applicable to a start-up or highly advanced just-in-time manufacturing environment.
