Abstract
Planning for the delivery of a product to customers becomes more efficient and demand from customers becomes more stable. Lean manufacturing is a set of tools and techniques and has been widely adopted by many production companies. A more continuous flow results in items being moved immediately from one workstation to the next as soon as they are ready. Lean manufacturing is a performance based process used in manufacturing organizations to increase competitive advantage. The basics of lean manufacturing employ continuous improvement processes to focus on the elimination of waste or non-value added steps within an organization. We had shown the problems what can be appear in a M.S Industrial Components Pvt. Ltd company because of the overproduction. To affect inventory reductions, it is important to understand that inventory is created largely due to the variation that exists in the manufacturing system and that this variation. The Kanban lean manufacturing tool lets a company not only to save money but also allows reducing the lead time. All that finally, will make flexible and responsive as a business.

Since each Kanban represents a certain amount of stock, and the number of Kanban are strictly controlled and limited, this creates an upper limit on the inventory [2]
Summary
The Kanban is used to signal the need for replacing or refilling materials necessary for production. Once the product is withdrawn by the customer, at that moment the Kanban tells us exactly what the customer is using, and what the customer will need later. Kanban is sent as fast as possible to the production line. The Kanban system is doing the “talking” to the production system, telling it to produce because some product has been removed. This system bypasses all the accounting and planning systems that tend to delay this signal and add variability along the way. Since each Kanban represents a certain amount of stock, and the number of Kanban are strictly controlled and limited, this creates an upper limit on the inventory [2]
