      Agile Project Management with Kanban - William Adams

      Brief history of Kanban

      The history of Kanban can be traced back to the 1940s and 1950s in Japan. The methodology was first developed by Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, as part of the company's efforts to improve their manufacturing processes. Ohno observed that the traditional mass production system, which relied on large inventories and inflexible workflows, was inefficient and wasteful. He sought to create a system that was more flexible, adaptable, and efficient.

      Ohno's solution was a new production system called the Toyota Production System (TPS), which was based on two key principles: just-in-time (JIT) production and the use of Kanban. The JIT principle emphasized the importance of producing only what was needed, when it was needed, and in the amount needed. The Kanban system was used to implement the JIT principle by providing a visual signal to workers to produce a new unit of product only when it was needed to replace an existing one.

      Kanban, in this context, was a simple card or tag that was attached to a product. The card contained information about the product, such as its name, part number, and quantity. When a product was taken from inventory, the Kanban card was removed and used to signal the need for a new unit of product to be produced. This ensured that only the required amount of inventory was maintained, and that new products were only produced when needed.

      Over time, the Kanban system was refined and expanded to include other types of work processes, beyond just production. The focus shifted from physical cards to electronic boards and tools, and the methodology became more widely adopted outside of Toyota. Kanban methodology was adapted for use in project management, software development, and other contexts, where it is still widely used today.

      Kanban methodology has its roots in the Toyota Production System, where it was developed as a means of implementing just-in-time production. Its simple, visual approach to managing work processes has been refined and expanded over time, making it a powerful tool for improving efficiency and productivity in a wide range of contexts.

      II. Understanding Kanban

      Origins of Kanban

      Kanban, as a methodology, originated in the manufacturing industry in Japan, specifically in the Toyota Production System (TPS). The origins of Kanban can be traced back to the 1940s and 1950s, a time when Japan was rebuilding its economy after World War II. During this period, Japan's manufacturing industry faced significant challenges, including limited resources, a shortage of skilled workers, and a need to improve efficiency and quality.

      Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, was tasked with finding solutions to these challenges. Ohno was responsible for designing a system that would enable Toyota to produce high-quality cars more efficiently and at a lower cost. The result was the Toyota Production System, which incorporated a number of principles and methodologies, including just-in-time (JIT) production and
