Free Introduction To Kanban
Beaverton, OR - May 16, 2005 - Graphic
Products is offering a free introductory guide to Kanban,
the system developed by Toyota to eliminate waste, reduce
costs, improve quality, and facilitate Just In Time
(JIT) delivery.
Kanban is a system of continuous supply
of components, parts and supplies, such that workers
have what they need, where they need it, when they need
it.
The premise of Kanban is to create
visual indicators to allow production or purchasing
staff to determine how much of a component to produce
or purchase, and when to stop production, or change
over to a different component. A Kanban system also
makes identifying problems easier and it provides proceedures
for workers to follow when a problem is identified.
Components can then be produced or purchased based on
actual useage, rather than forcasted useage. This eliminates
waste, improves quality, gets workers more involved
in the production process, reduces costs and improves
your bottom line profit.
To introduce you to Kanban, Graphic
Products has published a free guide to Kanban titled,
"Kanban, Demand Scheduling for Lean Manufacturing."
The free guide may be ordered by calling Graphic Products
at 1-800-788-5572 or by ordering it through their web
