What is Kanban |
|
|
|
|
|
KANBAN means voucher and is based on the customer-oriented pull principle. It was already observed and adapted by the first Toyota managers in 1956 in American supermarkets. Even the milkman already knew this original form of KANBAN. Empty bottles at the door step automatically triggered replacements. Always on time, always as required, always with the same quality. ... |
|
| ... but KANBAN is much more than just a reusable transport container. The overall concept includes all aspects of modern materials management. |

| C parts, small but expensive The cost of procuring small parts is naturally disproportionally high compared to the value of the goods. 80% of the costs arise from requirement calculations, ordering, storage, management and control, and only 20% from the material value. It is, therefore, sensible to concentrate first on a reduction of the logistics. We take this expensive task off your hands. This means that your staff can pay even more attention on the "big stuff". |
