What is Kanban?

Kanban is a term that has several meanings depending on the context. In manufacturing, first and foremost at Toyota, it was a visual control method that was part of Just in Time and Lean Manufacturing methods. 

To summarize, Kanban term can refer to different things in different contexts:

  • in manufacturing (originally in the Toyota environment), Kanban is a visual method (tool) used to control production as part of Just in Time (JIT) and Lean Manufacturing;
  • in service industries (such as software), the “Kanban Method” is a method of defining, managing, and improving services that deliver knowledge work;
  • generally speaking, “Kanban” or a "Kanban System" is a visualization system (visualizing the process and work in progress) for managing the workflow.

The “Kanban Method” and “Kanban Systems” not only allow the management and control of the workflow (for example by limiting the amount of work in progress) but also aim to improve the flow itself (the process) and achieve this.

The "Kanban systems" recently gained prominence in the second decade of the 2000s and have become increasingly popular, especially in combination with Scrum. The reason for their success is their simplicity and ease of implementation, which often leads to quick wins in improving workflow.

The "Kanban System" and the "Kanban Method" have common work visualizations, but the "Kanban Method" requires additional activities (such as continuous improvement) and allows for greater benefits.

 

 

What is Kanban useful for?

Not only does Kanban work in different contexts, but it can also be applied in very different ways, with different benefits. David J. Anderson suggested three levels:

  • Sustainability Agenda (focused on transparency, balance and collaboration)
  • Service Orientation Agenda (focused on customer orientation, flow and leadership)
  • Survivability Agenda (focused on understanding, consent and respect)

Each layer is value-driven, builds on the previous layer, and provides specific benefits.

In simple terms, in the Sustainability Agenda, we use Kanban to coordinate and balance work processes. This also applies to specific teams or departments. This often results in significant improvements in performance (e.g. increased throughput) and predictability (work done on demand within expected dates).

Service Orientation Agenda shifts the focus from the process to the customer. This means, for example, getting better qualifications before you start. Customer-centricity improves customer satisfaction and meets their needs. Also, Kanban is used at this level as a thinking tool to improve the process.

Survivability Agenda focuses on team values, behavior and engagement. By improving these aspects, all evaluation factors (performance, quality, time-to-market, etc.) are increased not only at the team level, but also at the organization-wide level.

So, for Kanban, we need to choose not only the domain and process to apply it, but also the level of application (Agenda) that increases the benefits accordingly..
