Kanban - ANSWER A Japanese word loosely translated to mean card,
billboard, or sign, but other signaling devices such as computer software have
also been used. A system or method of just-in-time production that uses
standard containers or lot sizes with signs and signals to determine when to
replenish supplies. It is a pull system in which work centers signal that they
wish to withdraw parts from feeding operations or suppliers. It simplifies how

materials. This allows companies to better match production with demand. The
goal is to maintain a rapid manufacturing pace while lowering the cost of
maintaining inventory.
