Dual- and Single-Card CONBON Systems
Dual- and Single-Card CONBON Systems
CONBON supports both single-card and dual-card pull systems. For dual-card systems, CONs authorize production and BONs authorize movement; for single-card systems, single cards authorize both production and movement.
Single-card systems often are used in simpler production environments, where supplying and using locations are near one another and only a few production centers use the same part. Dual-card systems are useful when tighter production control is required. This includes situations in which many different parts are produced, when plant layout requires producing and using locations to be some distance from each other, or when a part is a component for many parents.
