The everyday challenge
Kanban parts and non-Kanban parts on the same machine.
Do you know this conflict?
If we are honest, production control in most companies is a compromise:
So how do we bring this together?
Your machine operators face a daily priority puzzle. Parallel worlds emerge of Kanban cards and ERP orders. The result: annoyed employees, missed delivery dates, and a lot of work for production control to decide whether Kanban parts or “exotic parts” should go first.
One single digital conductor for ALLES
What if your production staff only had to look at a single screen to know exactly what to do next?
This is exactly where we come in with the IKS extensions Make-to-Order (MTO) and OverKanban .
01 Make-to-Order (MTO):
The perfect symbiosis
Kanban for absolute custom parts makes no sense? Until now, that was true. With IKS MTO, we seamlessly integrate your classic production orders into the digital Kanban system.
How it works:
Production orders from your ERP system are loaded directly into IKS via an automatic interface. On the IKS e-Kanban Board, these orders now appear visually perfectly integrated alongside the regular Kanban orders – including all necessary information and due dates.
02 OverKanban:
The smart buffer for demand peaks
Markets are volatile. What do you do when an unexpected major order suddenly comes in and the regular Kanban cards are not enough? Until now, that meant manual intervention and Excel chaos. Now there is OverKanban.
The magic of “extra Kanbans”
IKS automatically monitors your daily demand. If the number of circulating Kanbans is not sufficient for a peak, you can generate temporary “OverKanbans” with just a few clicks. These guide the peak cleanly through the process and delete themselves fully automatically again after one cycle. This keeps your system lean at all times!
