Enhance the Effectiveness of WIP Constraints by Cross-Training Workers

In this situation, if your team can execute the tasks of the bottleneck process, they can help it by increasing its capacity for a short period.

The Kanban System Doesn't Make Assumptions About the Location of Bottlenecks

Such a system is well-suited for the stochastic bottlenecks of product development.

The Local Constraints of the Kanban System Have an Impressive Feedback Speed

Because of the pull principle, the upstream processes can't send work to the next stage if a blockage occurs anywhere.

Kanban Uses WIP Constraints to Control the Cycle Time

If it constrains total WIP, by Little's Formula, Principle Q12, it also constrains cycle time.

Kanban Pull Principle

A team only picks up the next piece of work from the previous stage when they have available capacity—they've completed other work, and their WIP won't exceed.
