Kanban Control Cycle Analysis
Application component: Fiori UI for PP Kanban
App type: Analytical
Line of business: Manufacturing
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Kanban Manufacturing (S/4 CLD)
Description:  With this app you can evaluate your kanban control cycles with focus on the status of the circulating kanban containers. This enables you to identify critical situations early and quickly, for example, kanban control cycles containing errors or having too many open replenishments (visualized by the number of empty kanban containers). You first get insights into the overall kanban replenishment situation at the aggregated level, for example at plant level, and can then drill-down to the details at kanban control cycle level. You can create your own evaluation by selecting the dimensions and measures of your interest, and by restricting the analyzed kanban control cycles using predefined filters. The app offers a range of chart types you can use for evaluations.  
This app enables you to evaluate kanban control cycles in your area, focusing on kanban container status. You can display a plant overview or restrict to specified dimensions, like material or product supply area. With this, you gain an overview over various areas which enables you to evaluate the work progress and to detect and solve issues early.
Key features:    Filter by dimensions like plant, production supply area, material, supplier, and others.   Select measures like the number of containers. Additionally, you can select numbers of containers with a specific status ("Waiting", "Empty", "In Transit", and others). Here the percentages in relation to the total number of containers provide a good overview of the status distribution, and can help you identify improvements for your control cycles.   Choose from a rich set of diagram types, for example, bar charts, heat maps, and donut charts.   Results are aggregated according to the chart types and columns you select. The lowest detail level is the control cycle level.   The app evaluates data of classic and event-driven kanban control cycles which are in status "Released" and "Locked".   Under My Views you can create and manage views.   You can use the Standard view to display the distribution of the kanban container statuses in your plants. In the table, the kanban control cycles are displayed with their number of containers, number of empty containers, and number of containers with error. You can select the next drill-down level either by using the View By button, or by using Settings and specify your Category sequence under View Settings  Chart. For example, you can drill-down to storage location of supply area, and further to production supply area.      
Business roles: Production Supervisor - Lean Manufacturing| Production Planner - Lean Manufacturing
Production Supervisor - Lean Manufacturing : 
Supervises the material flow in a lean manufacturing environment to provide a sufficient supply of material for production processes. Ensures lean material replenishment as defined by the production planner for lean manufacturing.

Production Planner - Lean Manufacturing: (is an add-on role to the Production Planner)
Plans the material flow in a lean manufacturing environment. Creates the master data for the lean processes, controls and adjusts the process (six sigma), and executes error handling.
