Intended learning outcomes: Present procedures in implementing effective logistics. Differentiate between Kanban and the order point technique through a comparison of the techniques.
We have introduced two techniques of materials management: the Kanban technique and the cumulative production figures principle. Two further important techniques, the order point technique and the MRP technique, will be discussed in detail later in Sections 11.3 and 12.3. There are also techniques in connection with capacity management, such as Corma, that influence materials management (see Section 15.1).
Important principles behind these techniques, however, have already been introduced (for example, stochastic versus deterministic techniques). Now we will compare these very principles and, at the same time, compare the particular techniques themselves. We advise the reader to return to these comparisons again after reading the detailed sections mentioned above.
