What is Kanban for Manufacturing?

Kanban is a visual project management method that originated in manufacturing. It uses boards and cards to visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency. Our online tool adapts traditional Kanban principles specifically for manufacturing teams managing production projects, quality initiatives, maintenance schedules, and process improvements.

The visual nature of Kanban makes it perfect for manufacturing environments where teams need to quickly understand project status, identify bottlenecks, and coordinate across departments.
