Abstract

The most important goal of a manufacturing company is fulfilling all needs of its customers, which is only possible if an adequate quantity of finished products is available at all times. However, from the company’s perspective, having a huge stock does not mean an optimal solution, for it comes with a lot of expenses. The kanban system helps in the continuous improvement of the production system, namely in a way, that by its application we can prevent the overproduction and the supply shortages as well, while we can reduce the unnecessary in-process stocks. In order to control our production using kanban, we need to know how it works down to the smallest detail.
