Introduction to Kanban - Kanban is a system of delivering what is needed in a process, when it is needed. Kanban is
a term that has become synonymous
with "demand scheduling"
or "Just In Time manufacturing" (JIT).
Kanban uses visual indicators, usually called Kanban Cards, that allow those involved in a process
to know when and how much product
to produce. Kanban generally extends throughout an organization and, in many cases, to vendors, suppliers and customers.
