Kanban Systems
Kanban is a system for achieving just-in-time production through continuous parts supply. It uses visual signals like cards or boards to enable workers to obtain what they need, where and when they need it. Kanban systems can be implemented manually, through software, or as a hybrid. They aim to visualize and limit workflow to lower inventory costs and improve customer service through reduced waste and variability. Kanban involves starting with the current process and making small modifications like pulling work only when there is capacity.

Kanban
The Kanban system is a Japanese production system that uses visual signals like cards and containers to control the flow of parts between workstations. Only the necessary components are delivered from suppliers to the production line as needed to avoid excess storage. Each workstation only produces enough parts to fill an empty container before stopping in order to limit inventory levels in the process.
Presentation kanban
Kanban is a lean production system that uses visual signals to manage material flow. It aims to minimize waste through a pull-based system where downstream demand triggers upstream production. Developed by Toyota in the 1950s and based on supermarket replenishment techniques, kanban uses cards or other visual signals to authorize material movement between processes in a just-in-time manner. This helps control inventory levels and avoid overproduction by signaling needs for replenishment only when demanded by the next downstream process.

Kanban strategies
The document discusses the KANBAN system for replenishing materials in a lean production process. It describes different types of KANBAN including in-process KANBAN and multiple-card KANBAN. The single-card KANBAN system uses two containers that are replenished when empty, maintaining steady production. Replenishment points should be close to the production line. Multiple-card KANBAN uses separate cards to signal moving and producing materials, with a wait/work board to prioritize production based on consumption signals.

The Kanban system is a simplified ordering system used to control production flow through a factory using visual signals. Kanban cards attached to containers identify parts and quantities needed. As supplies are used, cards are sent to request more, pulling production in a just-in-time manner. This system aims to get the right quantity of goods to the right place at the right time, eliminating waste and using customer demand to pull production through the process.
Kanban
Kanban is a scheduling system used in lean manufacturing to control work in process inventory and optimize production. It tells producers what to make, when to make it, and how much to make based on customer demand. There are different types of kanbans including raw material, work in process, and finished goods kanbans. Kanbans work by signaling when more inventory is needed to replenish bins and keep just the right amount of materials and products flowing through the production process. The goal is smooth and efficient production without waste.

Kanban is a card system used in lean manufacturing to control work in progress and minimize inventory. It uses visual signals to trigger production and replenishment between processes. Cards authorize the downstream withdrawal of parts from upstream processes and signal the need for more production. The goal of kanban is to limit work in process inventory and enable production to be pulled through the system based on demand.
Kanban systems
Kanban systems are a scheduling and inventory management method used in lean manufacturing. Some key points:
- First developed at Toyota in 1953, kanban relies on inventory control cards or electronic signals to trigger production based on demand.
- It uses a pull system where downstream demand pulls production from upstream processes, rather than pushing excess inventory.
- Visual signals like cards in bins indicate when inventory is running low and needs replenishing to avoid over- or under-production.
Project Management Tool – Kanban Board
Kanban is a visual project management tool used to manage work as it moves through a process. A Kanban board visualizes work, limits work-in-progress, and maximizes efficiency. It identifies potential bottlenecks. Common Kanban cards include withdrawal, supplier, emergency, and production cards. The six Kanban practices are to visualize the process, control work in progress, manage flow, communicate policies, implement feedback, and collaborate for improvement. Kanban offers advantages like versatility, continuous improvement, responsiveness, higher output, and team empowerment. Disadvantages include potential for Kanban board misuse and unsuitability for dynamic projects.

KanBan approach to project management
KanBan is a lean production system that uses visual boards and cards to manage workflows and limit work-in-progress. It aims to identify and reduce bottlenecks by visualizing workflows and restricting the number of tasks underway at each stage. KanBan originated at Toyota for just-in-time production and has since been adapted for software development and other project management. Key aspects of KanBan include using a board with columns for different stages, cards to represent tasks that move across the board, and limiting the number of cards allowed in each column to control workloads and expose bottlenecks.
Kanban system in fast food industry
The document discusses Kanban, an inventory scheduling system originally developed in Japan that is now used worldwide. Kanban uses a card or signal to indicate when inventory should move between different stages of production. A common Kanban system is the 2-bin system, where two containers of parts are held in the production area and used until empty, signaling the need to replenish stock. This system is used in fast food industries between servers and the kitchen, where emptying the "burger regulator" signals the kitchen to produce more burgers. The 2-bin Kanban provides benefits like low information costs, quick response, worker responsibility, reduced lead times, low fixed stock, and stability.

Using Kanban techniques can help control incremental software development. Kanban uses visual cards to limit work in progress, similar to how Toyota used cards in manufacturing. A Kanban system for software involves defining a workflow, creating a visual board, setting limits on work in queues, prioritizing goals, and moving work through the process. Measuring cycle times and addressing bottlenecks can further improve the flow of work. Regular inspections of products and processes also help when using Kanban for incremental development.

- Traditional supply chains differ from modern digitized examples like Paytm in areas like planning and integration.
Kaizen
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous incremental improvements involving all employees. It was developed by Masaaki Imai and means "change for better" with "kai" meaning change and "zen" meaning good. The main principles of Kaizen are to consider the process and results, look at the entire process to evaluate the best way to do a job, and make improvements without blame. Kaizen aims to reduce waste, improve quality and space utilization, increase employee morale and teach problem solving skills. An example is the Toyota production system where all employees can stop the assembly line to suggest improvements for any issues.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Recycled Concrete Aggregate in Construction Part III
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Kanban
- 1. KANBAN
- 2. Defining Kanban • Kanban is Japanese for “card, ticket, sign, or signboard.” • Comes from Toyota’s Production System • Manages flow of production and materials • Used in a JIT “pull” system Kanban is a system that visually indicates when production should start and stop.
- 3. Kanban Card Example SupplierPull From ContainerCard 1Order Quan. Part Number Description Kanban Card Special Instructions
- 4. How does Kanban work? There are many flavors, but the core of Kanban means: • Visualize the workflow • Split the work into pieces, write each item on a card and put on the wall. • Use named columns to illustrate where each item is in the workflow. • Limit WIP (work in progress) – assign explicit limits to how many items may be in progress at each workflow state. • Measure the lead time (average time to complete one item, sometimes called “cycle time”), optimize the process to make lead time as small and predictable as possible. This is a direct implementation of a lean pull scheduling system.
- 6. What are the benefits of Kanban? Reduce Inventory • Kanban will reduce inventory, on average, by 25 to 75%. This saves any company significantly in terms of rent, electricity, and storage space. • In addition, all of the space freed by the implementation of a kanban system can be used for future expansions or new opportunities
- 7. Benefits of Kanban Improve work flow • The visually organized environment ensures all parts are easily found and continually stocked. • The speed of moving from one task to another is significantly reduced by the creation of clearly marked flow lanes, kanban cards, and clearly marked labels.
- 8. Benefits of Kanban Prevent Overproduction • Because parts are only created at the visual signal by the kanban label (link), inventory is much less likely to be overproduced. Resulting in significant savings in the holding of stock.
- 9. Benefits of Kanban Improves responsiveness to changes in demand • Unlike a predictive system, kanban immediately reacts to the environment. By responding to clearly and easily read kanban cards the lag time between a shift in demand and a shift in production is almost non-existent. • Minimize risk of obsolete inventory, because inventory is only created as it is needed.
Editor's Notes
- Here you are not giving the class all of the details of the Kanban system, but rather laying a foundation to build on later in the training. You can explain here that the kanban is literally a card, ticket, or sign that follows orders through production. Traditionally the idea was to manufacture as many units as you could. The more units you produced, the more you could spread out the fixed costs associated with producing them. Companies would produce huge volumes based on estimates and then adding some on top of that, just in case. The “just in case” method was the American way. W. Edwards Deming went over to Japan after WWII and started to instruct them on “lean” principles. The kanban was born as a result of his efforts. The kanban system communicates with all parts of the “chain” and produce only what is needed. An example is that you produce projectors. When someone buys a projector from a store, they are pulling on the chain. The store sends a signal to you to produce another projector. Your finished goods section pulls parts needed to complete a new projector. Other stations are now short of materials and must produce enough to get back up to the desired level. That goes on until your suppliers are notified of materials you need. They must contact their suppliers for more materials and so on. Finished goods inventory is close to zero, work-in-process goes down, and producing too many items is a thing of the past. This reduces the risk of items not selling, spoiling, or depreciating quickly. We will discuss in more detail exactly how kanban helps with this later in the training.
- This is an example of a Kanban card. As you can see there is lots of detail on the card. We will go through each spot briefly. It is also important to note that, while this is a more generic kanban card, you can customize your own cards so they work best for you. Part Number: This is your internal part number for the part that needs to be pulled Description: This allows the person to know what they are pulling Order Quantity: How many parts should be made Card 1: Just saying this is Card 1. You’ll have a set number of cards so you can monitor the production process Container: This is used to say what type of container it is in. A box, a tote, a pallet Pull From: Deals with how you have your inventory set up. This tells the operator exactly where to go Supplier: Who you are getting the materials from Special Instructions: This might be needed if you have a spike in demand and need to get products out faster. This section is not extremely common but has some uses.
