Kanban Inventory System

A kanban inventory system uses visual signals (cards, bins, or digital cues) to trigger restocking exactly when supplies run low. Rooted in lean manufacturing, it keeps inventory flowing on demand and prevents overstocking.

In the warehouse: Teamship's WMS puts Kanban Inventory System to work as part of Inventory Management.
