Beyond Automotive: E-Kanban Adaptation in Indonesian Manufacturing

抄録

This study examines e-Kanban adaptation in Indonesian manufacturing through case studies from both automotive and non-automotive industries. Using a qualitative approach with data from interviews, focus groups, and observations, the research identifies key challenges in system integration, production planning, and external disruptions such as demand fluctuations, natural disasters, and security risks. A thematic analysis emphasizes that resources, activities, business strategy, power and politics, and differentiation are critical for successful adaptation. The observations indicate that integrating e-Kanban with ERP, implementing RFID for item tracking, and developing contingency plans can mitigate operational risks and improve the supply chain responsiveness. This study contributes to understanding the digital transformation in manufacturing by demonstrating how firms across industries navigate e-Kanban adaptation under varying constraints.
