INTRODUCTION
The constraints faced by companies today, whether in the fields of mass production, warehousing or hypermarket-type retailing, make it essential to control product and information flows, as well as product and part stock levels. The aim is to have a volume of parts to be supplied to production or sales stations, proportional to a pre-defined cycle, and de facto to control the costs linked to this activity. One of the tools at our disposal is the Kanban method, derived from the "Just In Time" principle of the Toyota Production System, a tool developed in the 1950s and still in use today, combined with modern identification and labeling.
