摘要：Companies are under increasing pressure from customers, competitors, limited resources, etc. These conditions oblige companies to permanently improve their organizational structure and the activities of all system’s flows. The paper analyses the types of Kanban systems, in the broader context of the enterprise systems. The most important reference architectures were analysed (with the emphasis on the modules dedicated to flow description) and the standards that allow the activity modelling of a manufacturing enterprises. Starting from this context, the paper describes three models of Kanban systems that are specific to companies with different information systems development. Models are: Push production with withdrawal Kanban; Pull production with withdrawal Kanban and production Kanban triggered by Kanban board; Pull production with withdrawal Kanban and production Kanban triggered by the dispatch to the customers. The models are graphically described using Value Stream Map (VMS) symbols. These models are useful in the development and improvement of production flows.
