 Developed by TaichiOhno at Toyota in1940's
 The Kanban system is based upon a series of colored cards.
 These cards denote such factors as quantity, the type of part and the manufacturer.
 A card is placed in the bin or other container with each group of manufactured
items as an identifier for those involved with the next phase of production or
distribution.
 In other words “A kanban system is a work scheduling system that maximizes
the productivity of a team by reducing idle time. Idle time can occur within any
process, workflow or procedure and can usually be traced back to opportunities
within the process itself.”
