KANBAN的基本原则如下（来自丰田生产方式）
- Do not send defective products to the subsequent process
有缺陷的产品不送往后工序 - The subsequent process withdraws only what is needed
后工序只有必要的时候，才向前工序领取必要数量的零部件 - Produce only the exact quantity withdrawn by the subsequent process
前工序应该只生产后工序领取的数量 - Level the production
平均化生产 - KANBAN is a means of fine tuning
KANBAN是微调的手段 - Stabilize and rationalize the process
使各工序稳定化与合理化
对应到软件开发中，如何使用KANBAN原则呢？
