    Turn Overloaded Workflows into Steady, Predictable DeliveryA Practical Guide to Pull-Based Flow

    Kanban Training in China is a practical, one-day skills programme that teaches you to visualise work, limit work in progress and build pull-based flow across both factory production and knowledge work. The word Kanban means signboard in Japanese; the system began in the Toyota Production System under Taiichi Ohno and was later adapted for software, IT and service teams by David J. Anderson. You learn to design manufacturing Kanban systems, with production and withdrawal cards, supermarkets and correct sizing, and to run knowledge-work Kanban boards with columns, WIP limits and flow metrics such as lead time, cycle time and throughput. Hands-on exercises let you apply each idea to realistic scenarios during the day. This is a non-certification course with no exam. On completion you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning and a skill you can apply immediately, whether you run an EV line, a supply chain, or an Agile delivery team.

    The Kanban Skills You Will Put to WorkFrom Pull Systems to Flow Metrics

    In this course you will learn to visualise workflow, limit work in progress and improve flow in both manufacturing and knowledge work. By the end, you can design kanban loops and boards, size a system, measure flow and plan an implementation in your own organisation.

    Design Pull-Based Production Systems

    Build manufacturing Kanban with production and withdrawal cards, supermarkets, and one-bin and two-bin loops, so upstream processes make only what downstream demand withdraws. You will map where pull belongs and how the closed loop self-paces production.

    Size a Kanban System Correctly

    Calculate kanban quantities and the number of cards using takt time, demand, replenishment lead time and safety factor. You will cap inventory by design and learn how reducing cards over time drives continuous improvement.

    Build and Run Kanban Boards

    Design boards with columns, swimlanes, classes of service and a clear definition of done for software, IT and service work. You will make hidden work in progress visible so the whole team can see and manage it.

    Apply WIP Limits to Improve Flow

    Set and adjust work-in-progress limits so teams stop starting and start finishing. You will use WIP limits to expose bottlenecks, cut multitasking waste and create a sustainable, self-organising pull of work.

    Measure Flow with Metrics and the CFD

    Track lead time, cycle time and throughput, apply Little's Law, and read a cumulative flow diagram to spot where work accumulates. You will use flow data to forecast delivery and drive evidence-based improvement.

    Implement Kanban and Scrumban

    Plan a rollout using the start with what you do now principle, blend Kanban with Scrum as Scrumban, and sustain the system over time. You will leave with roadmaps for both manufacturing and knowledge-work environments.

    Flow Metrics Changed How I Run Our Board

    "As a Scrum Master I thought I knew Kanban, but the WIP limits and flow metrics sessions changed how I run our board. Reading the cumulative flow diagram helped me spot a bottleneck we had missed for months. Very practical training."

    Pull Replenishment Now Works for Us

    "Clear, well-paced and grounded in real examples from both factories and software teams. I now use pull-based replenishment signals with two of our suppliers, and the flow is far smoother. The trainer answered every question in detail."

    General

    What is Kanban and what does this training cover?

    Kanban is a visual, pull-based system for managing workflow. This one-day training covers both manufacturing Kanban (production and withdrawal cards, supermarkets, sizing and JIT pull) and knowledge-work Kanban (boards, WIP limits, flow metrics and Scrumban), with hands-on exercises throughout.

    Who should attend the Kanban training in China?

    The course suits production and Lean coordinators, manufacturing and industrial engineers, supply chain professionals, Scrum Masters, Agile coaches, IT and software delivery managers, and anyone responsible for how work flows through a production or service system.

    What hands-on exercises are included?

    Exercises include push versus pull identification, kanban quantity calculation, kanban loop design for a manufacturing scenario, Agile board design for a software or IT scenario, WIP-limit setting and cumulative flow diagram interpretation.

    What tools are discussed for Kanban boards?

    The course discusses both physical boards and digital tools such as Jira, Trello and Azure DevOps, along with board design elements like columns, swimlanes, classes of service and the definition of done for each stage.
