5. You maybe familiar with this…
Muda is all around us…
3. Transport

7. A method of JIT production that uses standard
containers or lot sizes with a single card attached to it

8. HOW KANBAN LOGIC WORKS?
2. Each kanban is attached to a task and
functions as a signaling mechanism. You
can only start a new task when a card
becomes available.

10. The KANBAN LOGIC promotes the pull system
and the continuous flow.

11. Let me give you an example…
Exit of visitors
give me the card
take the card
Entrance of visitors
Welcome to the
HANDICRAFT FAIR OF PÓVOA DE VARZIM
What you get?
• Avoid congestion;
• Avoid security problems
• Control visitors flow
• Ensure that no one is
missing at the end of the
day…
Try to apply this to your WIP

12. One of the Lean principles implies
working within the pull system;
ie, producing according of the
final customer orders.
Rather than working "pushing"
tasks along the value chain.

14. 2. It is possible to work with the current
state of the process, not requiring
previous or sudden changes.

16. 7. Kanban allows to control WIP and
reduce lead time and costs.
Remember the Little’s Law: L = W.

18. Thank you for your attention
