The time proven Kanban system is a series of cards that represent visual cues containing routing information, process procedures and component data functions as a scheduling system for continuous improvement, lean and just-in-time production. The Kanban system allows participants to achieve the objectives of reducing costs by eliminating waste and scrap, improving quality control, developing flexible workstations responsive to change, and allowing workers to reach their maximum potential. Should a Kanban system not be presented in its own level of simplicity, it can add confusion and disorder to the process. For example, a large, bulky filing system for storing and distributing the cards can quickly undermine its acceptance and use. The simple answer is to build Kanban Stations using the Creform System of plastic coated steel pipe and joint components along with Creform Kanban plastic dividers and spacers that provide compartmental storage for the cards.
