- | //Kanban// (Japanese: card or sign) refers to a supply method based on the pull principle. The [[en:begriff:Nachschub|replenishment]] is thus based on the actual consumption of materials at the point of consumption. The various //Kanban// control mechanisms ensure an efficient flow of materials and the lowest possible stock in the system. In particular, [[en:begriffe:Artikel|articles]] with relatively constant consumption and a low consumption value are suitable. Often, //Kanban// is used in combination with milk runs (e.g., via route trains) and supermarkets. | + | //Kanban// (Japanese: card or sign) refers to a supply method based on the pull principle.
