Developed by Taichi Ohno at Toyota in1940's
The Kanban system is based upon a series of colored cards.
These cards denote such factors as quantity, the type of part and the
manufacturer.
In other words “A kanban system is a work scheduling system
that maximizes the productivity of a team by reducing idle time. Idle
time can occur within any process, workflow or procedure and can usually
be traced back to opportunities within the process itself.”
