Find any books that talk about Lean Manufacturing and they will cover Kanban pretty extensively. You could also check with a M.E.P., Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Center in your area. They are part of a national network that helps companies with manufacturing issues, one being Lean Manufacturing and Kanban.

Go to

http://www.nist.gov

and then click on the link for Manufacturing Extension Partnerships. You should be able to find some resources on Kanban here.

Thanks for the information.I hope i will be able to make sense out of it.

Marathe thanks for willing to help me with my task. Well what i want to come up with is a model or can call it a manual of some sort. I'm going to do a survey on at least six organisations and from that i should be able develop it. I understand that the model is process driven.So from this survey i will either choose one company and use it to come up with that model.

Now, my problem is i haven't seen one model yet so I'm finding it difficult to know which questions to ask and after that how am i going to use that information to come up with the model.I have done a literature survey on Kanban and i'm still unclear about the model requirements. I concluded that it should involve the following three i.e suppliers, process and the consumer-customer.

I hope it makes sense.

Thanks again
