QAD Lean Manufacturing software provides complete functionality to establish and execute Kanban processes — both inside the manufacturing plant and with suppliers — and to implement effective pull systems by giving users the ability to tightly manage inventory throughout the value stream.

QAD Lean Manufacturing provides multiple methods for calculating and setting supermarket quantities based on either manual data entry or system calculations that include a variety of flexible, user-defined parameters. Users can examine "what if" scenarios for supermarket sizing before updating the system, and analyze how well the supermarket is handling demand.

Using data that already exists in the enterprise system, QAD Lean Manufacturing can model the most complex value streams. A value-stream map can be used to create a model of suppliers, manufacturing processes and flows, supermarkets and customers. Kanban loops can be established and levels visibly communicated throughout the supply chain.
