Kanban is a popular framework used to implement agile software development.
It requires real-time communication of capacity and full transparency of work.
Work items are represented visually on a kanban board, allowing team members to see the state of every piece of work at any time[1].

Kanban is a lean method to manage and improve work across human systems.
This approach aims to manage work by balancing demands with available capacity, and by improving the handling of system-level bottlenecks[2].

It all started in the early 1940s (In Japan). The first Kanban system was developed by Taiichi Ohno(Industrial Engineer and Businessman) for Toyota automotive in Japan. It was created as a simple planning system, the aim of which was to control and manage work and inventory at every stage of production optimally[3].

Just in Time inventory management methodology
JIT was originally formed in Japan as a response to the country’s limited natural resources, leaving little room for wastage. Today, Just in Time systems are used by many businesses, and it has influenced related lean inventory management techniques like IBM’s Continuous Flow Manufacturing (CFM). The rise of dropshipping has made JIT inventory management more appealing for retailers, as it allows them to sell a product before buying it, then purchase the item from a third party and have it shipped directly to the customer[4].

Jump to Toyota's Six Rules — Kanban (看板) (signboard or billboard in Japanese) is a scheduling system for lean manufacturing and just-in-time manufacturing (JIT). Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, developed kanban to improve manufacturing efficiency[5].

What Is Just-in-Time (JIT)?
The just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is a management strategy that aligns raw-material orders from suppliers directly with production schedules. Companies employ this inventory strategy to increase efficiency and decrease waste by receiving goods only as they need them for the production process, which reduces inventory costs. This method requires producers to forecast demand accurately[6].
