Proposed Solution

Implement native support for Kanban picking within the Cluster picking framework:

1. Add Kanban work order types to supported cluster picking scenarios
2. Enable configuration of Kanban-specific cluster profiles
3. Include Kanban card information in the mobile device workflow
4. Add support for Kanban signals and replenishment triggers within cluster picks
5. Provide visibility of Kanban status and progress within cluster picking operations

Current Limitation

Currently, Cluster picking in D365 Supply Chain Management does not support Kanban picking work order types. This limitation forces organizations to:

• Manage Kanban picking separately from other picking operations
• Lose efficiency by not being able to combine Kanban picks with other order types
• Potentially increase warehouse worker travel time and reduce productivity
• Make compromises between lean manufacturing and efficient distribution practices

Business Value

The integration of Kanban picking with Cluster picking functionality would significantly enhance warehouse operations by:

• Reducing picking time and improving efficiency by combining lean manufacturing principles with multi-order picking
• Streamlining warehouse operations by allowing workers to pick Kanban materials alongside other order types
• Increasing warehouse worker productivity by reducing travel time and consolidating picking tasks
• Supporting lean manufacturing initiatives while maintaining efficient distribution operations
