Increase Cards in Loop
Use this function to increase all selected loops by a constant number of cards.
The system uses the phase-in method specified in Kanban Control to determine if inactive cards should be activated before new ones are created.
Kanban Card Management, Increase Cards in Loop Frame
Specify the number of cards to add to each loop, as well as the card type (replenishment, move, or both). The system does not add move cards to one-card loops regardless of this setting.
When Update is Yes, use the Default Values for New Cards frame to specify such information as the card status, active status, and active code for new cards, as well as any that are activated based on phase-in logic. Define limited-use cards by setting Active Code to Period or Cycles.
Regardless of the value of Update, the system generates a report summarizing the effects of the program on each selected loop. It is organized by supermarket site, supermarket, item, step, source site, source, and card type. When Update is Yes, the report also displays the action taken on each individual card, in kanban ID sequence.
Note: This function does not perform any resizing functions. Adding cards to a loop may cause sizing to be out of synch with the actual number of cards. Use the kanban workbenches to do any needed sizing, or the Kanban Analysis and Recommendation function in Kanban Card Management to realign the actual cards to the loop’s sizing values.
