Labeling System
   
About

Establishing a pull material replenishment system is often implemented in lean systems to eliminate wastes associated with push (batch) materials replenishment.  The Labeling System button can be configured to launch the Catena Material Replenishment Labeling System (used to create kanban and two-bin labels) or another labeling program.

Note To select a labeling system program with a file extension other than .MDB (for example an executable file type .exe), type a '*' (without quotes) into the File name line and press the enter key.  This will display all files in the folder.

Note For versions of Catena up through 3.0, the default Labeling System program is MRLS 2.0.  This file can be found in your project's \toolkit\mrls folder as MRLS.MDB.  Starting with Catena 3.1, Catena defaults to MRLS 2.1 which is located in your computer's program files directory under \catena\mrls\mrls.mde by default.

4. Click OK to close the labeling system dialog box.

5.  Clicking on the "Labeling System" button will now launch your labeling program.
