Kanban for Lean Production in High Mix, Low Volume Environments
Open accessAbstract
Due to its assumed inherent inability to manage custom-engineered parts and components, the Kanban system has traditionally been disregarded in high mix, low volume “engineer-to-order” environments. However, elements of the Kanban system have proven their worth in other turbulent, non-manufacturing environments, such as software development. In this paper, we draw on two case studies from the Maritime sector where Kanban boards and cards have been introduced for the execution phase of shop orders in manufacturing. Initial results have been exceptional, with 50% reduction of lead-time realized in both cases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
