How Do Kanban Systems Support Just-in-Time Inventory Control? Have you ever wondered how companies keep their inventory levels just right, avoiding excess or shortages? In this informative video, we'll explain how Kanban systems support just-in-time inventory control. We'll start by describing what a Kanban system is and how it uses visual signals like cards to manage work and materials efficiently. You'll learn how this approach relies on actual customer demand rather than forecasts, helping to keep inventory low and aligned with production needs. We'll discuss how limiting work in progress prevents overproduction and maintains a smooth workflow, reducing waste and storage costs. Additionally, we'll explore how Kanban enhances collaboration with suppliers by signaling when raw materials are needed, ensuring timely deliveries. From an operational perspective, Kanban speeds up response times to changing demand and builds stronger supplier relationships. It also allows warehouses to optimize space and lower operational costs by minimizing excess stock. Overall, Kanban supports a flow-based system that makes supply chains more flexible, cost-effective, and responsive to customer needs. Whether you're involved in manufacturing, logistics, or supply chain management, understanding Kanban’s role in just-in-time inventory control can help improve efficiency and reduce waste.
