Implementing a Mixed Model Kanban System: The Lean Replenishment Technique for Pull Production

James Vatalaro, ROBERT EDWARD TAYLOR

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

Implementing a Mixed Model Kanban System is a comprehensive and in-depth guide to implementing a kanban sytem within the value stream. Its plain-language approach provides a step-by-step coverage and guidance on the implementation, metrics, and dynamics of an effective kanban sytem. It is based on proven, reliablemethods honed through years of implementation experience within manufacturing and non-manufacturig environments. By focusing on a case study of a manufacturing company trying to create and maintain continuous flow in their value stream, Valataro and Taylor show the reader how to construct their own kanban system, from beginning to end. This book carefully identifies and explains each of the components of a Kanban system within the context of pull production
