VISUAL PLANNING 2015 CORPORATION

Just-in-time (JIT) is an inventory strategy implemented to improve the return on investment of a business by reducing in-process inventory and its associated carrying costs. In order to achieve JIT the process must have signals of what is going on elsewhere within the process. This means that the process is often driven by a series of signals, which can be Kanban, that tell production processes when to make the next part. Kanban boards are used extensively for displaying colorful Kanban inventory cards in a variety of patterns dictated by their functional use. They can be as flexible as your imagination. Available in many sizes. These Kanban systems have simplified and streamlined the critical communications needs in hundreds of facilities nationwide. They are simple and effective for visual job loading and implementing lean manufacturing processes.
