visual reorder point
DESCRIPTION
A key element of creating a Visual Workplace is being able to identify abnormal from normal situations. In this Single Point Lesson team members organized a work cell, identified the items in the work cell and used flags to signal a reorder request to a material handler driving by. Wastes reduced: Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Waiting.TRANSCRIPT
Visual Management - Re-Order Point
Multiple inventory part numbers were stored here but you wouldn’t know it!
After constantly running out of packaging and stopping production, the team rallied together and came up with a better way:
Built a rack to hold 2 rolls of each part number.
Added a label for each Created flags to signal
to the material handler when more was needed.
