Kanban Board View – Visualization System for Lean Manufacturing

Nexelem’s Kanban for manufacturing is the ultimate visualization tool to streamline your production flow.

Kanban is a lean manufacturing tool. It is based on the visualisation of work using a special board. In its simplest form, the board is divided into three columns: To Do, In Progress and Done. This allows the production planning process to be clearly followed, increasing its efficiency and fluidity.

Kanban lean manufacturing tools help planners anticipate future needs. With Nexelem, you integrate Kanban scheduling directly into your master plan, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently based on actual demand.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kanban in Manufacturing

While physical cards are prone to getting lost or overlooked, digital Kanban for manufacturing like Nexelem ensures data integrity. It provides real-time updates, remote accessibility, and automatic integration with your inventory levels, which physical boards cannot offer.
es, our software features a fully interactive Kanban dashboard. This view serves as a command center where managers can drag and drop tasks, monitor Work In Progress (WIP) limits, and instantly see the status of every order in the queue.
Nexelem combines visual boards with intelligent algorithms to enable effective Kanban scheduling. Unlike simple to-do lists, our system considers production constraints and deadlines, allowing you to prioritize tasks within the Kanban columns to ensure timely delivery.
Absolutely. Nexelem is built with Lean principles at its core. Our Kanban system for lean manufacturing helps reduce waste (Muda) by preventing overproduction and ensuring that work is only started when there is downstream capacity, creating a true “Pull” system.
