Workshop-Kanban Scheduling
Kanban Scheduling Systems
Design, Implementation and Operation
In this practical, real-life workshop participants learn to design and implement kanban scheduling systems that are simple and effective. The seminar includes step-by-step procedures, simulation games and exercises. In a class project, learning teams apply their new knowledge and design a system for a part of their own factory.
