Flow

Withdrawal Kanban

Kanban authorizing movement or withdrawal of a specified quantity from a supermarket or upstream location.

Examples

  1. 01The material handler takes a withdrawal kanban to the supermarket and collects exactly one box of 200 screws for the line.
  2. 02At the gemba, the team counts withdrawal kanban cards in each loop every Friday, because lost cards lead to shortages.
  3. 03Reducing withdrawal kanban cards from 6 to 4 per part cuts line-side stock, and the team checks for stockouts and lead time for a month.
