Kanban

Kanban is Japanese for sign or signal card. The traditional Kanban is an easy and effective system to manage production, with an emphasis on just-in-time delivery while not overloading the team members. The card (Kanban) represents a certain amount of stock. When this stock is used up the card is sent to the place where new stock is being made. This creates a continuous flow and prevents over production. Kanban is applied to Lean Manufacturing and is a form of pull planning. Production is guided by the help of a Kanban board. VSI have an extensive range of Kanban products, among which: Kanban cards, Kanban boards, Kanban boxes. On request lot-size Kanban boards and Heijunka boards are custom made. Combinations of  information boards (Key Performance Indicator boards) and Kanban boards are also available.
