What is Kanban automation and where is it used?

[zakiyatasnim]

Kanban is a method of optimizing work processes that helps to meet deadlines, optimally use resources, and protect against the harmful effects of multitasking. Perhaps the main advantage of Kanban is the visualization of work processes. Managers and performers see each task at what stage it is: planned, in progress, or completed.



Kanban is popular in IT, especially in software development, although the technique is also readily used in other areas - for example, in marketing, sales, industrial production. By the way, it all started with industry: the first to introduce Kanban practices were at Toyota in the late 1950s.

Brief background
The reason was the insufficient productivity of the Toyota factory bulgaria number data assembly line compared to American companies. Engineer Taiichi Ohno came up with a production optimization system that helped synchronize the work of suppliers of parts, the assembly line and sales. The Kanban approach worked here in conjunction with the "lean production" method.

The name “kanban” comes from the Japanese word “kanban,”” In the Toyota workshop, there was a board with cards. The sender and recipient addresses were written on the cards, as well as information about the parts. When the team needed a new part, the corresponding card was sent to the part of the board that was responsible for external or internal suppliers. For greater convenience, the cards were distinguished by color: for example, an external supplier was a red card, an internal one was blue.
