A Lean Kanban System is a scheduling system that helps determine what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Kanban scheduling systems are useful when
• lot sizes differ between process steps,
• process cycle times are unbalanced, or
• when distance introduces time lag or variability.
Some of the key benefits of Lean Kanban Scheduling Systems include
• over-production (waste) will be at a minimum
• work in process between processes is always maintained and managed
• less finished goods inventory is required
• quicker quality feedback loop
• workplace is better organized, more comfortable, and safer
Our Lean – Kanban Scheduling Systems Training Module includes:
1. MS PowerPoint Presentation including 105 slides covering
• Introduction to Lean Management,

This PPT slide outlines the "Dual-Card" Kanban system, a method used to manage workflow and inventory in a streamlined manner. It consists of 4 distinct phases, each illustrating the interaction between the "Customer" and "Supplier" processes.
In Phase 1, the customer initiates the process by moving an empty container to the supplier, accompanied by a "Withdrawal" card. This action signals the need for replenishment. Phase 2 follows, where the customer places a "Production" card on the Kanban board, indicating that a full container is needed. The supplier then replaces the empty container with a full one, ensuring continuity in supply.
Phase 3 sees the customer once again involved, moving the full container back to the customer process while using the "Withdrawal" card to signal that the supply has been received. Finally, in Phase 4, the supplier produces new items and attaches the "Production" card to the full container, completing the cycle.
This visual representation emphasizes the cyclical nature of the Kanban system, highlighting the importance of communication between the customer and supplier. The use of cards facilitates clear signals regarding inventory levels and production needs, which can enhance operational efficiency. Understanding this system is crucial for organizations looking to implement Lean methodologies effectively. It fosters a responsive supply chain, reduces waste, and improves overall productivity. The slide serves as a practical guide for executives considering the adoption of Kanban systems in their operations.
