What is kanban?


Kanban (かんばん ?) (literally signboard or billboard in Japanese) is a scheduling system for lean and just-in-time (JIT) production. Kanban is a system to control the logistical chain from a production point of view, and is an inventory control system.

We use this tried and tested system to ensure you have the parts you need, when you need them, without paying a premium due to having too much stock on hand.

Kanban is just one of the ways we serve you better at S and T Engineering Labs.
