Kanban is the name given to the inventory control card used in a
pull system. The primary benefit of kanban is to reduce
overproduction, the worst of the seven deadly wastes. A true kanban
system produces exactly what is ordered, when it is ordered, and in
the quantities ordered. It is essentially a dynamic work order that
moves with the material. Each kanban identifies the part or
subassembly unit and indicates where each one came from and where
each is going. Used this way, kanban acts as a system of
information that integrates your plant, connects all processes one
to another, and connects the entire value stream to customer
demand. Kanban for the Shopfloor provides a working manual for
those seeking to implement this method of production control in any
operation. It defines the various terms and methods employed in
kanbans, and illustrates how when adhered to, kanban is an element
of continuous improvement that ultimately leads to the ideal of
one-piece flow." In addition to reducing the waste of
overproduction, kanban will help your company increase flexibility
to respond to customer demand, coordinate production of small lots
and wide product variety, and simplify the procurement process.
