STAUFF Kanban System
Optimised procurement solutions with maximum process, quality and supply security
The STAUFF Kanban system offers an individually designed and thus precisely tailored procurement solution for specific customer requirements with maximum process, quality and supply security.
An optimal service solution for automatic replenishment is implemented, tailored to the type and range of articles, the working environment of the users/consumers and their needs. The focus is on maximum availability of the components in the right quantity, at the right place and at the right time.
A rolling container system provides STAUFF components "just-in-time" directly at the assembly site. In addition, it offers a high adjustment capability in the event of changes in requirements with maximum delivery and supply security and reduces customer-side inventories with low commitment of capital.
Basic Principle of the STAUFF Kanban System
General Conditions of the STAUFF Kanban System
Equipment required
The required equipment, such as shelves, containers, scanners or RFID technology, labels etc. is provided by STAUFF. STAUFF provides its own containers in two different sizes. The containers are subject to a continuous cleaning process.
Upon agreement, the customer's existing equipment can also be integrated into the process.
Filling quantities and control circuits
Fixed fill quantities can be individually agreed and stored via control circuits. The demand is triggered either by scanning the barcodes or by automatically reading the RFID tags of empty containers with direct data transmission to STAUFF, which triggers the reordering. All control loops can be viewed and ordered in the Kanban monitor on the STAUFF digital platform.
On-time delivery
On-schedule delivery of the filled and pick-up of the empty Kanban containers takes place at the agreed transfer point or directly at the assembly line.
Labelling with the STAUFF Kanban System
All containers are provided with interchangeable labels and thus offer all relevant information at a glance:
- Customer logo / STAUFF logo
- Recipient of goods
- Print date
- Customer article number and customer designation
- Container content
- Container type and shelf location
- Barcode
In addition, there is a shelf label at each storage location. This ensures easy allocation of the container to the correct shelf location. When using RFID technology, an RFID tag is also attached to the container.
