Consulting
Implementing a Fervit Fasteners Kanban system streamlines material procurement and optimises warehouse management, resulting in significant time and cost savings.
With the support of the Kanban Supply Chain Team, Fervit Fasteners establishes a strong partnership with its customers, offering a consulting service for the implementation of a customised Kanban system proposal.
By studying the production process, Fervit Fasteners supports the customer in defining the parameters necessary for Kanban to function properly:
- average consumption of items per unit of time
- Kanban average stock coverage
- backup stock level
- size and amount of the containers

The data relating to the consumption of the individual material in the kanban container is automatically transferred to our ERP system by positioning the container in the RFID portal.
This system simplifies the "unloading" operations of the containers consumed, increasing the speed of transferring data by reducing possible operator errors.

4 Phases
In the analysis phase, the existing configuration is studied with the customer to assess the various options available:
- SINGLE CENTRAL KANBAN
- DEPARTMENTAL WAREHOUSE KANBAN
- ASSEMBLY LINE KANBAN
This is all about defining quantity and frequency of supply to ensure optimum delivery times.
Once the need for a product has been established, the following is agreed together with the customer:
- the lay-out
- our operator's walk-through of the customer's warehouse to enable the best possible replenishment of products, including in-line.
- kanban refilling methods
- the sizing of the shelves
- supply schedules
