Essentials
“All kanban systems are designed to limit work-in-progress, because the more work-in-progress, the slower the flow.”
Kanban exploits physicality and pull scheduling to improve flow, and so throughput.
Downstream consumer demand pulls through the stages of a processing pipeline.
Progress may be visualised through a grid, visible to all players, showing the work in progress.
To improve flow, limit work in progress by focussing on bottlenecks. Eliminate waste.
A good solution for complicated processes, and a useful tool for complex problems.
