The Kanban Concept Saving Time In comparison with the Top-Up or Eye-Balling (Guesstimate) systems (even those using bar-codes and/or hand held computers) it is found that the inventorying of a typical patient care unit is reduced from 20-40 minutes to 5 minutes or less.
The Kanban Concept Supplies Are Used Patient Care staff uses supplies as needed from the front compartment. There is still a back-up supply available to the clinical users in the rear compartment with the other half of the par quantity.
The Kanban Concept RFID Push Button Ordering Buttons on empty spaces are pushed by Nurses or by Materials Staff during scheduled inventory rounds. Buttons Represent Locations, not Products!

Pegasus Inventory Management System (P.I.M.S.) Pegasus accomplishes LEAN Inventory Management by utilizing The Kanban (2-bin) Concept of managing supplies and the replenishment process coupled with high density storage options. The Kanban Concept Kanban is a concept related to lean inventory management. According to Taiichi Ohno, the man credited with developing Just-in-time (JIT), kanban is one of the means through which lean inventory is achieved. 2 Bin Two bins one in front and one in back. The par level of each stocked item is split in half between the front and back bins. The front bin is the active bin and the back bin is the back up.
Order Picking & Restocking Because the Pegasus System is Location Based: Orders are separated by hospital department Orders can be picked and delivered by hospital department Restocking of supplies is fast and easy because supplies are already prepared by storage location and will not need to be sorted or separated at the hospital, they can go directly to the floor.
The Kanban Concept Print Pick Lists and Maintains Records The system then automatically prints a pick-list for each supplying department- General Stores Central Sterile Outside sources, etc. Pick lists (Orders) will be transmitted automatically to central supply printer so order can be picked.
Management Reports The Pegasus System maintains records of usage: By Department Par Level analysis Identification of fast and slow moving products Many other management functions.
