Kanban Nursing Supply Storage | Plastic Bins & Wire Shelving Carts

What is a Kanban System?Kanban System Storing Nursing Supplies with Wire Shelving Carts and Plastic Bins

The Kanban system is based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle. Two bins are set up with nursing supplies, one in front of the other. Products are taken from the front bin. Once the last item pulled from the front bin, it’s placed on the top shelf of the cart. The second bin is moved forward, and supplies are pulled from this bin.

To replenish the supplies, the material handler comes in and scans each of the bins on the top shelf to indicate the items that need to be re-stocked. The count is 100% accurate every time and requires only a few seconds per empty bin.

When the material handler delivers the exact amount needed to replenish the bin, he simply places the full bin behind the front bin; thus, guaranteeing first-in, first-out and virtually eliminating the chances of having expired items.

2 Essential Storage Items for Getting Started with a Kanban System

To get started with a Kanban system, you need two essential storage items: plastic bins and wire shelving carts.

Why Plastic Bins?

The plastic bins are really the heart of Kanban because the two-bin system is what makes everything work so well. Taking it one step further, you can make use of colored plastic bins to increase efficiencies in finding nursing supplies. How is this done? It’s done with color recognition.Buy Plastic Bins from StoreMoreStore

Your eyes can recognize color much faster than reading words. And if certain products are in a bin with a designated color, they’re much easier to find. For example,

  • Blood or circulatory products in red bins
  • Respiratory products in blue bins
  • Urinary products in yellow bins
  • Patient care items in green bins
  • Dressings in white bins

With just one glance, nurses will be able to direct their focus at the product they need.
