kanban

A card containing a set of manufacturing specifications and requirements, used to regulate the supply of components.

The sub-assembly line assembles A. It goes to processing line 1 to withdraw part a, and for this purpose it must take the sub-assembly kanban (called withdrawal kanban). It goes to store a, withdraws boxes in the required quantity and removes those kanban (called in-process kanban or production-ordering kanban) that are attached to the boxes.

A coordinated manufacturing system using such cards.

However, since so many Japanese industries have adopted Kanban, this problem is diminishing.

A system to manage, visualise, and improve work across teams, often as part of an agile methodology.

kanban board

The first thing that often differentiates a daily standup in a kanban team from other standup meetings is that a kanban team tends to focus on the work on the board rather than on the individual people in the team.

Alternative letter-case form of kanban.
