- 🏭 Inventory management in ERP systems can involve barcodes or RFID tags to maintain accuracy and trigger electronic Kanban signals.
- 🔑 For effective use of software in Kanban, visibility and clarity of signals and instructions are crucial.
Q & A
What is the primary purpose of using Kanban in project management?
-The primary purpose of using Kanban in project management is to direct project activities and track their statuses, making it easier to visualize the entire project and identify potential bottlenecks.
How is a typical Kanban board set up for project management?
-A typical Kanban board is set up with at least three columns: 'To Do' or 'Request' for tasks needed for a job or project, 'Doing' or 'In Progress' for tasks currently being worked on, and 'Done' or 'Ready for Review' for completed tasks.
What is the significance of moving a sticky note to the 'Doing' column?
-Moving a sticky note to the 'Doing' column signifies that the corresponding task has started being worked on, and it helps in tracking the progress of the task.
Why might a task stay in the 'Doing' column for an extended period?
-A task might stay in the 'Doing' column for an extended period if it is facing delays or issues that need to be reviewed and potentially adjusted to ensure smooth progress.
Can Kanban be implemented without physical cards or objects?
-Yes, Kanban can be implemented without physical cards or objects. There are many online applications and software solutions available for managing tasks and workflows digitally.
What is the role of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software in relation to Kanban?
-ERP software is typically used in accounting, manufacturing, and logistics operations to manage inventory and can be integrated with Kanban to trigger electronic signals for withdrawing or manufacturing parts when inventory levels are low.
How can barcodes or RFID tags be used in conjunction with Kanban in an ERP system?
-Barcodes or RFID tags can be used to label inventory items, allowing them to be scanned and tracked in an ERP database. This helps maintain accurate inventory levels and can trigger Kanban signals for replenishment or production.
What is important when using software for Kanban management?
-When using software for Kanban management, it is important that the signals are visible and provide clear instructions to ensure effective task tracking and workflow management.
How has the original concept of Kanban evolved over time?
-Kanban, which started as a manual control system in manufacturing plants, has evolved into online applications that can be utilized by various professions, offering more flexibility and integration with modern technology.
What are some potential benefits of using Kanban in project management?
-Some potential benefits of using Kanban in project management include improved visibility of project status, easier identification of bottlenecks, and more efficient task management and workflow control.
How can a project manager adjust the workflow when using Kanban?
-A project manager can adjust the workflow by reviewing tasks that are stuck in the 'Doing' column, identifying reasons for delays, and making necessary changes to improve efficiency and task completion.
Outlines
📊 Kanban for Project Management
This paragraph introduces the use of Kanban, a project management tool, to direct and track project activities. It explains how a visual board with sticky notes can be set up using columns to represent different stages of task completion. The 'To Do' column lists pending tasks, the 'Doing' column shows tasks in progress, and the 'Done' column is for completed tasks. The system allows for the identification of bottlenecks and the need for task review if they linger in the 'Doing' stage. The paragraph also mentions the evolution of Kanban from physical to digital applications, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that integrates with barcodes or RFID tags for inventory management and electronic Kanban signals.

Transcripts
there are many other ways to utilize
kanban
project managers commonly use it to
direct project activities and track
their statuses
this can be done with a whiteboard and
sticky notes
a typical board has at least three
columns that show the required tasks for
completing the project making it visual
allows you to see the whole project and
identify any potential bottlenecks
the to do or request column is filled
with the corresponding tasks needed for
a job or project the doing or in
progress column show the tasks that are
currently being worked on
and finally the done or ready for review
column contains only completed tasks
that have been moved to this column when
completed dissatisfaction as you start
working on each task move the sticky
note to the doing column
if there is a task that seems to stay in
this column for a number of weeks it may
be necessary to review the reason for it
and adjust if necessary
kanban doesn't have to be done with
physical cards or objects there are many
online applications and software
companies that offer products to manage
supplies
workflows and projects
what may have started as manual controls
from manufacturing plants has now
evolved into online applications that
can be utilized by many professions
for example enterprise resource planning
or erp software is typically used by
accounting manufacturing and logistics
operations to manage inventory raw
materials in process inventory
and finished goods can be labeled with
barcodes or rfid tags so they can be
scanned to maintain accurate inventory
in an erp database and trigger
electronic kanban signals for
withdrawing or manufacturing parts
when using software for kanban remember
that it is important that the kanban
signals are visible and provide clear
instructions
