#Comment 1
Recently I read a book (by ex-Toyota worker) that explains the details of the Kanban system at Toyota.
He explains how to settle the discrepancy (because the Kanban attached to the parts, and sometimes lost at the supplier or at Toyota) and how to improve the system.
At this point, I have never read such a book.
I really think the Kanban system is not so difficult, but not so easy.
