The book describes - for the first time in German translation - the fundamentals of Kanban, ConWIP, and POLCA. It is the first work to present a card-based control system for complex job manufacturing - COBACABANA. In many cases, the control problems that arise and the chosen solutions are not properly aligned. Therefore, this book differs from the typical approach. First, the characteristics of typical problems in production and service companies are outlined, establishing the foundation for problem diagnosis. Then, four alternative card-based control systems (Kanban, ConWIP, POLCA, COBACABANA) are introduced to address the control issues. The estimation of due dates or delivery deadlines extends the application scope of card-based systems. This book serves as a practical guide.
