peer agreement (net): +1kanban bins Explanation: That, at least, is what you reference to the industrial environment makes me think of. “ Nous avons adopté le "three bins system" ” explique-t-il. Ce système consiste à faire usage de trois bacs. Le contenu du premier est consommé sur le poste de fabrication, tandis qu’un second bac est en cours de remplissage dans le magasin, et qu’un bac dit "in process" circule entre ces deux positions extrêmes. “ On ne commence l’opération de remplissage que lorsqu’un bac vide se présente au magasin ”. Autant dire que le bac, emporté sur son chariot mobile, joue le rôle de la carte kanban traditionnelle. www.txcom.fr/fichiers/443/toshiba.pdf Kanban The illustration below shows two rows of part bins which are set up for resupply by the two-bin kanban system.1 Initial assembly starts with all bins full of parts. When the part bin nearest the worker is depleted, the full bin behind moves forward, as shown by the empty space in the illustration. The empty part bin then is returned to its "source," which could be the machine that made the part, a sub-assembly workstation that assembled the part, or a supplier. The source fills the bin and returns it to this assembly workstation behind its counterpart which is now dispensing parts http://www.build-to-order-consulting.com/kanban.htm If you don't like this answer you can bin-bag it. |

shuttle bin / crate Explanation: I don't believe this is a special kind of 'plastic bin', but rather, its function --- it is used to 'shuttle' things from one place to another. If these are quite small, I'd say 'bin' (as used for storage of smaller components etc.), but when they get a bit larger (as used for bulkier things in your garage, for example), I'd call it a crate --- and specifically if it has pierced rather than solid walls. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2006-05-26 14:18:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Even gets a few Googles, as long as you discount the German ones where 'bin' is a verb! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2006-05-26 14:43:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I just found this site where they refer to a 'tote', which may be whate you're after (though no pix) http://www.mmh.com/article/CA6299058.html |
