  2. Kanban - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban

    Kanban (Japanese: 看板 meaning signboard) is a scheduling system for lean manufacturing (also called just-in-time manufacturing, abbreviated JIT). [2] Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, developed kanban to improve manufacturing efficiency. [3] The system takes its name from the cards that track production within a factory.

    A kanban board in software development. Kanban can be used to organize many areas of an organization and can be designed accordingly. The simplest kanban board consists of three columns: "to-do", "doing" and "done", [3] though some additional detail such as WiP limits is needed to fully support the Kanban Method. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_Flow_Technology

    Production Kanban is designed for a replenishment quantity that may be smaller than a lot size or batch. It is based on a "dual card Kanban" system where a "move" card or container represents the quantity required by the downstream point of consumption and a "produce" card is kept on a display board and accumulates to a replenishment batch.

  9. Continuous-flow manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-flow_manufacturing

    Continuous-flow manufacturing, or repetitive-flow manufacturing, is an approach to discrete manufacturing that contrasts with batch production.It is associated with a just-in-time and kanban production approach, and calls for an ongoing examination and improvement efforts which ultimately requires integration of all elements of the production system.
