#FOA S01E20 Optimizing Intralogistics: Milk Run and Kanban

Milk Run and Kanban explained, and how simulation and real-time data help choose and tune the right intralogistics system without disrupting production.

← Back to Blog

Excess inventory, production delays and chaos on the floor are often caused by inefficient intralogistics.

This episode covers two Lean systems that streamline material flow: Milk Run, a planned internal delivery route that supplies multiple points, and Kanban, a signal-based system that orders material only when it is needed.

In this episode, you’ll discover

  • How to test route frequencies and container sizes in simulation without interrupting production
  • Why real-time data is key to optimising delivery routes and Kanban inventory levels
  • How DBR77 models intralogistics digitally and synchronises logistics with actual production needs
