Abstract: Abstract The Kanban system is a double drawer physical location system, for parts and material, on the production floor. Its two major advantages are, the continuous flow of material to the production floor and the immediate visual recognition of shortages in the material on hand. In order to leverage the Kanban’s advantages we need to apply routine maintenance and inspection to the drawers, the demand for material from them and the content of parts in them. When we have fluctuations in the production quantities we need to adjust the Kanban’s stock quantities, in order to have continuity of material supply to the production floor.
