Kan-Ban Services
Kanban - a Japanese word that means "sign board". A word that has become synonymous with "demand scheduling" or Just in Time (JIT) Manufacturing. Kanban is utilized so that operators can produce product based on actual usage, rather then forecasted usage. Kanban will eliminate the need for production planners and supervisors to continuously monitor schedule status and in addition it will free up material planners, schedulers and supervisors by empowering the operator to control the line.
