Kanban - Triggering Optimal Levels of Inventory


Listen Later

Kanban is all around us, although sometimes we don’t notice it.  Its purpose is to provide a signal, in a Pull system, underpinning a just-in-time approach to work and avoiding overproduction and waste.  It helps to ensure you have only what you want, only when you need it.

Join PMI Director Consultant Barry Byrne as he talks about Kanban as a crucial communication method, helping to synchronise our entire system, from supply chain to the customer.
