Abstract
Kanban (Kanban is Japanese for card) is an important component of the Toyota Production System [Ohno-88*]. It delegates the responsibility for the stock to the production operators and establishes control loops for every variant between the production’s workstations as well as the suppliers and purchasers.

- 1.
Sequencing is not discussed in the research, since one of the conditions is always a production line with only one variant.
- 2.
One could argue that for this the WIP transparency is lacking at the consuming workstation. Since this cannot influence its material supply anyways, it is not as important as at the producing workstation.
- 3.
The lot sizes were calculated for Workstation 4 with the EOQ lot-sizing formula and derived on Workstation 5 from the maximum setup frequency.

“The final authority to change the number of Kanbans is delegated to the supervisor of each process… If it is desired to inspire improved managerial ability, authority to determine the number of Kanbans must first be delegated.” [Mond-98*]
