Free Introduction To Kanban

Kanban is a system of continuous supply of components, parts and supplies, such that workers have what they need, where they need it, when they need it.

The premise of Kanban is to create visual indicators to allow production or purchasing staff to determine how much of a component to produce or purchase, and when to stop production, or change over to a different component. A Kanban system also makes identifying problems easier and it provides proceedures for workers to follow when a problem is identified. Components can then be produced or purchased based on actual useage, rather than forcasted useage. This eliminates waste, improves quality, gets workers more involved in the production process, reduces costs and improves your bottom line profit.
