3. Kanban is a tool for managing the flow of
materials or information (or whatever) in a
process. Having too many parts on hand or

6. Limit Work in Process get more done by doing
less. It is a powerful idea that has been
proven time and time again to be true. There
is a limit to the number of things you can be
working on and still do them well, and that
limit is often lower than you think.
7. Measure and Improve Flow – improvement
should always be based on objective
measurements. Finding and applying good
metrics is usually a difficult step, but a few
simple measures can give you the
information you need to tweak your process
to optimize flow and maximize efficiency.
