Kanban Management

Drive Lean Transformations with Kanban

Kanban uses a Lean technique – a pull system that is based on replacing what has been consumed, based on client demand. The ordering and parts for manufacturing are ‘just in time’ for an exact delivery date. By maintaining key inputs of what is needed only for final deliverables on order, the inventory becomes leaner.

Kanban systems are particularly useful where large numbers of components need to be processed and tracked. The overarching goal is to achieve higher throughput with shorter delivery lead times.
