[Kanban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban") is a method of communicating requirements in lean manufacturing invented by Taiichi Ohno, an engineer for Toyota. It aims to improve efficiency in production environments by preventing overproduction and reducing overhead.

Kanban works by implementing a few basic concepts:
|
|
|
|
1. All work is accompanied by a “card” that has the instructions on it.
|
|
|
|
2. The cards are numbered, and there is a limited amount of them.
|
|
|
|
3. When a card is completed, it gets returned to the person who put the instructions on it. This let's them know to provide more instructions, and the work is completed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Often, the card isn't a physical piece of paper.

## Kanban Board

|
|
A kanban board is like a dashboard showing where all the cards are currently located in each production line, and how many exist for each step of production.
