Documentation
Definition
Shows the number of kanban containers that have the status Waiting. This number must first be reached before the system can trigger replenishment.
Use
The trigger point is a threshold value to initiate the replenishment of a material in the case of in-house production. You can stipulate the value manually or have it calculated by the system.
Each time the consumer confirms the use of a kanban container, the system checks the number of kanbans of a control cycle that have the status "Waiting". As long as the quantity has not yet reached the value of the trigger point, the system likewise sets the affected kanban container to "Waiting". As soon as the trigger point is reached, the system sets these containers to "Empty", thus triggering replenishment. In this way, you ensure that the system does not set each container to "Empty" immediately. Instead it sets them to this status only in groups. You can thus avoid frequent resetup and improve capacity utilization.
Dependencies
For you to be able to use the trigger point function, the following prerequisites must be satisfied:
- You have set the Take Capacity Situation Into Account indicator in Kanban Customizing in the IMG activity Define In-House Production Strategies.
- You have set the calculation type 1 on the Kanban Calculation tab page in control cycle maintenance.
- You have specified a planning work center on the Consideration of Capacity tab page.
