Abstract

Kanban system is inventory stock control system that trigger signal for production of product based on actual customer requirement. This study presents the development of kanban system at local manufacturing company in Malaysia. The study discusses flow of implementation activities in manufacturing site prior to kanban system. The paper concludes that implementation of kanban system would reduce lead time, minimize inventory on floor and optimize storage area. Therefore, the objective of this study is to highlight the kanban system implementation that improve manufacturing system as well as achieved Just In Time practice.
