Abstract
Unnecessary inventory is both wasteful and a safety risk. The Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore reviewed its flammable materials inventory, eliminated the unused excess inventory, and, to maintain the reduction and prevent a reaccumulation of unnecessary inventory, put into place a Kanban system. The efficacy of this method is documented as well as lessons learned from both the problems caused by excess unused inventory and the reasons that lead to the accumulation in the first place.
