    Kanban System

    Uploaded by

    Divakar Ranjan
    Kanban is a visual workflow management method originally developed by Toyota. It uses visual signals like cards or bins to optimize and limit work-in-progress. The goal is to identify and address bottlenecks by visualizing the process and flow of work. A basic 2-bin Kanban system uses cards attached to bins of materials to signal when replenishment is needed, keeping production moving without excess inventory. A 3-bin system connects different parts of the supply chain in the same way.

    Kanban is a

    • Visual management method for any work that follows a process.


    Japanese term
    • Visualizes both the process(workflow) and actual work.
    means
    • Goal is to identify potential bottlenecks in process and fix them.
    Billboard/Signboard

    • Started in 1940
    •
    History

    Developed by Taiichi Ohno for Toyota automotive in Japan


    Brief

    • Created as simple planning system, to control and manage work and inventory
    • In 2004, David Anderson adapted in other fields like software, IT, services(HR,
    legal, marketing etc. )

    TO-DO DOING DONE Helps to improve flow


    Visual Reduce lead time
    Information Delivers value faster to customer
    Improves predictability and quality

    • Start with what you are doing now • Visualize flow of work
    • Agree to pursue incremental, •
    Core Practices
    Limit WIP
    Fundamental

    •
    Principle

    evolutionary change Manage Flow


    • Respect current roles & • Make process policies explicit
    responsibilities • Implement feedback loop
    • Encourage act of leadership at all • Improve collaboratively and evolve
    levels. experimentally
    EXAMPLE

    • A great example of a Kanban system is used today in Tokyo Imperial Palace


    Gardens in Japan.
    • The staff here uses a foolproof method to limit the flow of visitors.
    • Each visitor receives a plastic card at the entrance, which must be returned
    while leaving the garden.
    • Because the total number of cards is meaningfully limited, only so many visitors
    can stroll through the palace in a given time.
    • New visitors have to wait in line till the next card/slot is available.
    • The access to the palace is free, but it is granted only if the pre-allotted cards
    are available.
    2 BIN KANBAN SYSTEM
    • 2 – bin Kanban system relies on visual cards as signals for
    replenishing the inventory.
    • Two bins with materials necessary for production are
    placed on factory floor.
    • A kanban card is attached to each bin.
    • The production team draws materials from one of the
    bins.
    • Once bin is empty, request is sent for more materials.
    (Kanban card attached to bin is used as signal)
    • Until material arrives, team relies on second bin.

    2 – bin system optimization ADVANTAGES


    • C = No. of Kanban cards, equals no. of bins used. • It makes sure production is never idle
    • S = Size of the bin • Optimized inventory volume
    • L = Lead time to replenish the empty bin • Reduced waste
    • D = Daily demand for particular material • Reduction in total cost
    • Reduced waiting time
    (C-1)*S = L * D • Minimized lead time
    3 BIN KANBAN SYSTEM

    3 – bin system connects different


    part of work processes.
    (In some cases, company to outside
    supplier)

    • One bin is placed at the factory where products are made, one at store
    where parts are held, and one at supplier.
    • When factory runs out of parts, empty bin is sent to store to be refilled.
    • The store fills the bin and sends its own emptied bin to supplier.
    • The supplier then sends full bin to store
