Kanban Apps for Lean Practitioners

抄録

A lean manufacturing tool called Kanban is used in the communication structure which comprehends the signal and response setup. Industry 4.0 has seen an assertive evolution in recent years as human productivity has increased. The progress, however, makes technology adaption more difficult and convoluted, particularly for complex production lines which lack a real-time notification system, an effective communication system, and appropriate data collection methods which might raise the likelihood of failure. Both the lean methodology itself and the understanding of Industry 4.0 should be incorporated into the communication structure. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop Kanban Apps for the Decision Support System (DSS), which is specifically utilised by manufacturing students, professionals in the industry, and practitioners of lean. In-depth discussion is conducted regarding both the primary development process and the verification. The results demonstrate that Kanban Apps can be easily integrated into digital manufacturers, propelling the response time with real-time operational information. The functionality of the Kanban Apps is evaluated by comparing manual calculation and the calculation made using the Kanban Apps. These connections between data analytics from various machines integrated with contemporary gadgets like sensors inducing the cyber-physical system will have a significant impact on boosting productivity through improved decision-making.
