看板试图通过确保上游阶段只生产下游阶段所需的零件，以达到在不同阶段之间最小化WIP(未完成任务)，或者存货清单的目的。

It also may allow managers to reduce WIP buffers, which in turn reduces overall inventory and-most important these days-frees up cash on the balance sheet.

它还可以帮助管理人员削减在制品的临时库存，进而减少总的库存-当然今天最重要的是，增加增产负债表中的现金流。

Kanban's aim is to minimize WIP (Work-In-Process), or inventory, between processes by making sure that the upstream process produces parts only if its downstream process needs it.

看板的目的是通过确保只有当下游工序需要时上游工序才生产零部件，进而最大限度地减少工序(process)之间的在制品(Work - In - process, WIP)或者库存。

If a company is manufacturing a product, the inventory is divided into three different stages: raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP) and finished goods.

如果公司是制造企业，存货分为三个不同的阶段：原材料，在制品，产成品。

Material identification in order to properly manage inventory, identification of all raw, WIP and finished goods items is required.

材料识别为了妥善处理库存，识别所有原料项目，在制品和成品是必要的。

Some of the KPIs are Performance to Schedule, Inventory turns, WIP days on hand, Resource Utilization, Scrap, Returns, etc.

这些关键绩效指标包括计划执行情况、库存周转率、在制品持有天数、资源利用率、废料、退货等。
