Only with kanban do you get real problems!
It turns out that a start with a joint meal of soup and sandwiches provides an excellent impulse for mutual acquaintance and an interactive meeting.
The speaker, Tim Leek, certainly promoted interaction between himself and the 35 participants through a lively and engaging presentation that took on the character of a workshop.
His talk on understanding the nature and interrelationships of work processes in Lean Six Sigma was already convincing. The playful group experiment then indelibly imprinted on everyone that steering, predicting and adjusting are only done well on the basis of measurement.
This opened the way for the second part of the presentation to give us a clear and complete picture of the aspects of Kanban.

Description
Kanban is an agreed way of working where, as a hard design rule, the amount of work in progress per workstation or per project activity is predetermined and limited. This leads to tremendous savings in lead time and inventories that are the envy of the competition. When optimising our business processes, we like to play second fiddle. In industrial production environments, it seems to be working very well to emulate the Toyota Production System according to the principles of Lean Thinking. Now the service industry and governments are also starting to believe in it and Lean Six Sigma is coming into vogue. What makes this approach so successful? Where are the pitfalls? In this talk, ir. Tim Leek strips the Lean Thinking principles down to the mathematical statistical bone and shows that our managers should also be steered by rules that follow from the scientific approach, and precisely not those of common sense!
The fourth principle of Lean Thinking, called "Pull" with kanban as its form of implementation, initially leads precisely to productivity losses that the manager with his common sense would prefer to solve with...more inventory, more people, and longer lead times. "Pull" prohibits this obvious solution and forces us into the eternal search for variation reduction
The meeting will start with a sandwich meal. This will be followed by the presentation.
