Kanban
Kanban (meaning signboard
or billboard) is a concept
related to lean and just-in-time (JIT) production.
The concept got shape when Toyota observed how
supermarkets operate.
The supermarket only stocks what it believes it will sell;
Therefore has limited and only necessary inventory
Signboards clearly indicate to shoppers where what is
stocked; so the customers can shop efficiently and complete
their shopping in time.
For a lean and efficient system, it is required that the
production is determined according to the actual demand.
In situations where supply time is lengthy and demand is
difficult to forecast, the best one can do is to respond quickly
to observed demand.
This is where a Kanban system can help: It works as a
communication system which immediately provides
information about changed demand through the entire
supply chain.
Kaizen in Toyota
The Toyota Production System is known for its use of kaizen.
After World War II, Taiichi Ohno was charged with setting up
machine shops for Toyota. He studied the Ford production
systems. He analyzed the various productive measures and
discrepancies in the system.
