Why Should You Attend:

This webinar will explain how to set up and use kanbans all the way from purchasing and procurement, to receiving, receiving inspection, component stock, work order picking/staging, assembly, packaging, finished goods, and sterilization. Combining the principles of a visual workplace with kanban bins and cards, this webinar will demonstrate step-by-step how to create a demand-pull system to achieve the right balance of inventory and throughput throughout your startup operation. The hands-on use of Drum-Buffer-Rope from Theory of Constraints (TOC) will also be covered.

Lean cannot be just about product and process. Based on the speaker’s extensive experience in the arena, this webinar will also discuss the elements of lean documents and lean configuration, since the principles of lean must permeate throughout all systems, not just the manufacturing supply chain.

This webinar is essential to introducing lean principles from the company’s earliest stages.

Learning Objectives:

  • Myths about lot size and local efficiencies.
  • Myths about documentation and support systems.
  • An alternative way to track yield losses during product builds.
  • Preparing kanban cards and bins to control both in-house inventory and external supplier inventory.
  • Smart ways to track variable information using kanban cards (example lot number, PO number, WO number, due dates).
  • How to use kanbans for R&D prototype work?
  • How to simplify paperwork to allow smaller lot sizes?
  • Smart ways to simplify receiving verification.
  • How product shipments trigger new builds?

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

  • Working definitions of kanban, JIT, pull system, and Drum-Buffer-Rope, with emphasis on medical device and biotechnology manufacturing.
  • Introduction to the elements of lean documents and lean configuration.
  • Selection of appropriate sterilization lot size - a key factor.
  • Practical lot sizes for start-up medical devices.
  • How to handle large-volume and offshore suppliers?
  • How MRP II can help - and hinder - an effective kanban system?
  • How to use kanbans to track off-site sterilization services?
  • Using kanbans with external supply chain suppliers.
  • Smart ways to minimize lot picking times.
  • Lot picking inside a cleanroom

Topic Background:

A medical device or biotechnology startup plant needs to have product available yet be agile enough to respond quickly to demand and design changes without wasting excess inventory, especially from obsolete products that did not pan out.

A startup plant faces many challenges and options. Too often, the brainpower and focus is on the science and technology of the product. However, without agile systems from the earliest stages, the company may struggle for the wrong reasons as it tries to ramp up its manufacturing and quality systems.
