S01:E20 - Optimizing Intralogistics: Milk Run and Kanban

Is your factory floor plagued by operational chaos, excess inventory, and production delays? The culprit is often inefficient intralogistics. Traditional material handling is a major source of waste, but it's difficult to fix without disrupting operations.

In this episode of Factory on Air, we tackle this challenge head-on. We dive into two powerful Lean systems designed to streamline material flow: Milk Run and Kanban. 

• Milk Run: A structured internal delivery system that supplies multiple production points in one planned route.
• Kanban: A signal-based system that triggers material orders only when they are actually needed, supporting a Just-in-Time principle.

But how do you know which system is right for you? And how do you perfect it?

Join us to learn:

• How simulation allows you to test different intralogistics scenarios—like route frequencies or container sizes —in a virtual environment, all without interrupting live production.
• Why real-time data is the key to optimizing your delivery routes and Kanban inventory levels.
• How DBR77 helps companies digitally model their intralogistics , test scenarios , and implement modern solutions that reduce waste and synchronize logistics with actual production needs.

▶️ Tune in to Episode 20 to stop the logistical chaos and build a more predictable, fluid, and efficient factory floor.
