FAQ

Can we explain ekanban better?

Subscription is sized according to the type of platform activated, available in 4 combinations (for  Plants or for Supply Chains – respectively Professional or Enterprise) and consumption level, organised for simplicity in predefined packages (up to 50 links, 100, 250 …  over 1,000).

The “for the Plant” platform allows the management of all material flows within the same plant. The Supply Chain platform is designed for the management of all company material flows, both internal and external, i.e. from suppliers and to customers.

Subscription to “KanbanBOX for the Professional plant” starts from a cost of 190 Euros per month to manage up to 50 kanban links and 200 closed orders per month. The price increases as the number of active kanban links and units of handling for materials managed without a kanban, but with an economy of scale: <b> the more links you have, the lower the cost of each link </b>, making the subscription more and more convenient. Spend less than € 0.25 per item! Contact us to find out more!

By kanban link, or kanban circuit or kanban loop, we mean the management through kanban cards of the replenishment flow of 1 single item code coming from 1 specific supplier and addressed to 1 specific customer or point of consumption. When sizing the kanban link, the necessary number of cards to be affixed, one for each container of the article code, is specified. In the KanbanBOX board, each row represents a single kanban link, with all its cards.

In some contexts, kanban management can provide for multiple links for the same item: for example, it is possible to have 1 purchase kanban link of the item code XYZ to manage the pull flow from the external supplier to the component warehouse and 1 handling kanban link to regulate the transfer of the same XYZ item from the warehouse to the assembly line.

No, each subscription includes an unlimited number of users, to allow you to involve the entire company team in managing the kanban system. However, it is the Company that decides the different authorisation levels!
