Kanban in a Nutshell (PDF)

Kanban (Japanese: カンバン and Chinese: 看板, meaning signboard or billboard) is a scheduling system for lean manufacturing (also called just-in-time manufacturing, abbreviated JIT). Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, developed kanban to improve manufacturing efficiency. The system takes its name from the cards that track production within a factory. Kanban is also known as the Toyota nameplate system in the automotive industry.
KANBAN is a highly tactile and visible approach to orchestrating work across organizations. It works at the team level, straddling departmental boundaries (aka Silo's) as a highly effective organizational change tool. The ‘Kanban effect' results in profound changes in the behaviors and interactions of individuals, teams, and sometimes entire organizations.
