# Kanban System Designer ## Overview The Kanban System Designer skill provides comprehensive capabilities for designing and implementing pull-based production control systems. It supports kanban sizing, WIP limit determination, supermarket design, and electronic kanban configuration for efficient material flow. ## Capabilities - Kanban sizing calculation - WIP limit determination - Supermarket design - Signal mechanism configuration - Pull system simulation - Heijunka box design - Electronic kanban (e-kanban) configuration ## Used By Processes - LEAN-004: Kanban System Design - TOC-002: Drum-Buffer-Rope Scheduling - CAP-002: Production Scheduling Optimization ## Tools and Libraries - Kanban software APIs - Inventory management systems - Simulation tools - Visual board platforms ## Usage ```yaml skill: kanban-system-designer inputs: product_family: "Widget Assembly" demand_data: average_daily: 500 peak_daily: 750 variability: "medium" lead_time_data: replenishment_time: "4 hours" safety_factor: 1.5 container_size: 50 outputs: - kanban_quantity_calculation - supermarket_layout - signal_card_design - wip_limits - implementation_plan ``` ## Workflow 1. **Analyze Demand** - Review historical demand patterns and variability 2. **Calculate Kanban** - Determine number of kanbans needed 3. **Design Signals** - Create visual or electronic signal mechanisms 4. **Set WIP Limits** - Establish limits for each process step 5. **Configure Sup...
