Parts and Components Arrive Exactly When Needed Using Kanban Delivery

HANSA-FLEX offers Kanban delivery as part of an optimally structured, customised logistics system. Delivery based on the Kanban principle is highly suitable for companies with a continuously organised production system and a diverse demand for parts. Short transport routes and just-in-time delivery to the production line can significantly reduce procurement costs.

Precise Integration of Demand and Supply

HANSA-FLEX supports you from the very beginning with flexible logistics solutions that can be adjusted again and again to your changing needs as your company develops.

Storage and direct delivery to the production line

The Kanban system works according to the pull principle. This involves using two identical full storage containers. Goods are only taken from one of the containers. Only when this container is empty is a replenishment order issued and goods are taken from the second storage container.

The replenishment order arrives in good time and before all the goods in the second container have been used. The goods do not have to be stored in a single central stock that would require more storage space.

Mobile demand determination with scanner

The goods demand is reported to the nearest HANSA-FLEX branch by scanning empty storage containers in real time via the customer’s warehouse management system. The HANSA-FLEX branch employees then pick the required goods in exactly the quantity needed. After the customer’s empty container has been refilled, it is scanned again and registered as filled. The products are always replenished in accordance with the first-in-first-out principle, so no new products are stored for too long. This applies in particular to products with a limited shelf life. Hydraulic hose lines, for example, may only be stored for a maximum of two years. After that they can no longer be used.

Solution-oriented consulting and cooperation

HANSA-FLEX’s logistics experts will advise you comprehensively on whether and how a Kanban system can be implemented in your production facilities. Experienced professionals conduct an on-site assessment, using their trained eye for hidden potential and their extensive know-how to find the most efficient solution for you.

On request, HANSA-FLEX can take over the complete storage and logistics services for all the goods in the Kanban system, including sorting and direct delivery to the production line.
