Kanban — Pull Production Control
Kanban replenishment synchronized with real production data, dimensional quality and QIF (ISO 23952) integration
IVR Kanban links pull signals to actual production execution and dimensional inspection results collected automatically from IMTE — Inspection Measuring and Test Equipment. Replenishment is validated not only by quantity but by structured QIF characteristics and SPC behavior, ensuring that material flow reflects real, measured quality conditions.
Pull flow with measurable validation
- Kanban triggers linked to MES production orders
- Quality validation from IMTE dimensional results
- QIF-structured characteristic traceability per batch
- SPC-based blocking of nonconforming replenishment
- Integrated CAD + QIF + DMIS digital thread
Pull signals connected to real execution
IVR Kanban does not operate as an isolated card system. Each replenishment signal is associated with a specific MES production order, machine and operator.
The system validates produced quantities against real execution data and dimensional inspection results, ensuring that replenishment reflects actual manufacturing output.
Pull flow is synchronized with measurable production evidence.
Dimensional quality as a release condition
Replenishment is conditioned by dimensional conformity derived from IMTE — Inspection Measuring and Test Equipment results. Each measured characteristic is structured in QIF (ISO 23952) and linked to its respective batch or serial.
If dimensional results indicate nonconformity or statistical instability via SPC, the system can block or flag the Kanban cycle, preventing propagation of quality issues downstream.
- Batch-level dimensional validation
- Characteristic-based release criteria
- SPC rule enforcement in material flow
Traceability from demand to measured feature
Each Kanban cycle is traceable from demand signal to produced part and its corresponding dimensional results. Characteristics defined in CAD and structured in QIF remain linked throughout the replenishment loop.
This establishes a continuous digital thread: CAD → QIF → DMIS → IMTE → MES → Kanban, maintaining alignment between engineering intent and material flow.
Material movement becomes part of the documented quality system.
Integration with MES, OEE and SPC
IVR Kanban operates integrated with MES for execution control, OEE for performance analysis and SPC for statistical monitoring.
This integration enables evaluation of how process capability, equipment effectiveness and dimensional stability influence replenishment frequency and flow balance.
- Order-based replenishment tracking
- Correlation between OEE losses and Kanban cycles
- Statistical stability impact on flow rate
Audit-ready replenishment records
All Kanban transactions, production links and dimensional validations are stored as structured, traceable records.
By integrating pull production with real measurement data, IVR Kanban ensures that flow control is supported by objective dimensional evidence.
Pull production becomes technically defensible and fully traceable.
