SAFe® Kanban Team Events

Kanban, a concept that originated in Japan, has become a widely used production planning framework across industries worldwide. In the early 1940s, Toyota, a Japanese automotive company, introduced Kanban as a means of improving inventory management, reducing waste, and optimizing workflow. The word “Kanban” translates to “visual signal” or “card,” referring to the visual cues used to manage production and inventory. Its principles involve creating a balance between supply and demand, reducing overproduction, and Continuous Improvement. Since its inception, Kanban has evolved beyond its original usage in manufacturing sectors and has been adapted to various fields, including software development, healthcare, and education. Its simplicity and effectiveness have made it an essential tool for many organizations seeking to streamline their work processes.
