Study on Electronic Kanban Management System in Steel Structure Engineering of an International Expo Centre

Abstract:

E-Kanban management is an effective tool to achieve lean and just-in-time(JIT) production. Based on the analysis of the traditional Kanban and the advantages of E-Kanban, types and function of E-Kanban in construction industry are proposed. The framework of E-Kanban management in steel structure engineering of an international expo center which covers decision layer, business layer and technical support layer is built in this paper. The E-Kanban management system and the models of E-Kanban in steel structure engineering are designed on basis of this framework. The system focuses on function and application of Transmit E-Kanban, produce E-Kanban, temporary E-Kanban and feedback E-Kanban. The research of this paper provides the theory and practice foundation for the application of E-Kanban in construction industry.
