The two-bin Kanban system is often used in manufacturing and other industries where there is a need to manage inventory levels and keep production flowing. The system is based on the principle of just-in-time production, which means that items are only produced when they are needed and not before. This helps to avoid the waste of materials, time, and labor that can occur when items are produced in advance and then sit idle until they are needed.
In a two-bin Kanban system, each item is assigned to one of two bins, typically labeled “A” and “B.” The “A” bin represents items that are needed immediately, while the “B” bin represents items that will be needed in the near future. When an item is used from the “A” bin, it is replenished from the “B” bin.
This ensures that there is always a supply of materials on hand without any unnecessary buildup of inventory. The two-bin Kanban system is just one type of Kanban system; other variations include single-bin, multi-bin, and CONWIP systems.
