Raymond Louis demonstrates how to develop and implement a successful kanban system by selecting appropriate kanban techniques based on the environmental factors and needs of specific organizations. The book fully explains each technique, including a description of the environment and type of company it is intended to serve. In all, the author explains more than 20 design options and associated replenishment techniques, so that most every reader will be able to custom develop his or her own kanban system. This is the only text that thoroughly deals with both the design and implementation of a complete kanban system.
