Color and icon coded tags or flags are attached to racks and pallets in the building to indicate their purpose, status, and who is responsible. Icons and colors are used so the information can be quickly understand at a distance. Each flag or tag has a space to write a Redmine ticket number that explains further details.
There is a finite number of each kind of flag, and they are each numbered.
How kanban fits into this
Unused flags are kept with the Production Manager. So, let's say somebody wants to push a rack out for STOW. They are supposed to ask the Production Manager for a STOW flag. If he doesn't have any, indicating they're all in use, that means STOW is behind schedule.
Likewise, if we have STUCK CHECKIN, the person dealing with that should ask the manager for a STUCK CHECKIN flag. If he doesn't have any, that indicates we have too much STUCK CHECKIN.
This is intended to be a true Kanban process where the instructions follow the work, and the manager doesn't need to monitor the individual workflows.
