Setting Up Kanban Processes
You need to define kanban processes when you have kanban loops that are supplied directly by a manufacturing process, rather than by an external supplier or from the inventory of a supermarket. See Processes.
Depending on your manufacturing environment, use as many as three programs as part of the process definition task:
Define the process itself using Kanban Process Maintenance (17.1.3).
Specify the number and length of work shifts using Process Calendar Maintenance (17.1.13).
Optionally combine times required by manufacturing operations using Process Item Operation Rollup (17.1.12).
