Qu'est-ce que la méthode kanban?
The history of Kanban
After World War II; Toyota publicizes a strategic vision to revive the Japanese economy. Taiichi Ōno develops a simple but extremely effective business management system consisting of:
-
Reducing waste;
-
Maintaining optimum product quality throughout the production chain;
-
Avoiding oversupply. If certain car models are selling less, the size of the series must be reduced, which implies a drop in stocks. Cars and parts are made virtually on demand. This is just-in-time production (or “just-in-time” production, or “Kanban method”;
-
Taking into account the opinion of employees since they are the main stakeholders in the method: they participate in the diagnosis of problems and resolutions;
-
Continuously improving the system in an internal dynamic that integrates all the actors concerned, from the operator to the engineer.
Why does Traction use this method?
Such an organizational system allows for the decompartmentalization of functions and responsibilities. While the majority of companies opt for a push-flow system, which takes little account of consumer requests, the Kanban method imposes a pull-flow system, triggered by the initial request from the customer. The Kanban method is therefore nothing more or less than a customer's order that activates the sales process. Following their request, the customer will be pulled towards taking possession, step by step, by each participant in the process.
