Ultriva’s Collaborative Electronic Kanban (CEK) automates and enhances the manual Kanban manufacturing approach pioneered by Toyota. CEK allows you to align inventory levels with actual consumption via a closed-loop replenishment process that sends a signal to the supplier to produce and deliver a new shipment whenever a Kanban card or “lot” of material is consumed. Every card is tracked throughout the replenishment cycle bringing unprecedented visibility to both buyers and suppliers.
