Many shops have simplified their production control by using
card-based systems such as kanban and Constant Work-in-Process
(ConWIP). Although these systems provide a simple and highly
effective visual approach for controlling manufacturing and service
operations, all too many shops struggle with failed implementations
or achieve results that fall below expectations. These outcomes can
be attributed to a poor fit between the actual control problem and
the solution applied. This book takes a different approach to most
other books on the subject-as it starts with an introduction to the
control problem, instead of the control solution. Card-Based
Control Systems for a Lean Work Design outlines how the problems
encountered in typical manufacturing shops and service providers
can be characterized, which allows for improved problem diagnosis.
The first four chapters of the book lay the foundations for problem
diagnosis. The next three chapters then discuss, in sequence, each
of the three "traditional" card-based control systems: kanban,
ConWIP, and Paired-cell Overlapping Loops of Cards with
Authorization (POLCA). The book explains how each of these
card-based control systems works and identifies the specific type
of control problem to which each system applies. The next two
chapters focus on Control of Balance by Card-Based Navigation
(COBACABANA), a system developed for high-variety shops producing
made-to-order, customized products. This is the first book to
discuss this novel approach, which includes the use of cards to
estimate due dates or delivery time allowances. The book closes
with a framework that provides guidance on which system to apply.
This framework contrasts the control problem with the control
solution. The potential of combining card-based systems is also
discussed to create a nested solution.
