Kanban is one tool within the just in time production system. Kanban is used to connect information flow to the necessary action or production of a customer need. The Kanban system works off of the pull of the customer creating a more demand driven enterprise which results in lower inventory levels, less waiting and better control of production amounts. The Japanese word loosely translated means card, billboard or sign but often times other sensory notifications such as empty spaces, cones or lights are used to notify a supplier of a customer need.
