WIP Limits
“Part of the purpose of WIP limits is to reveal opportunities
for improvement. Imposing WIP limits will focus attention on
work which is blocked or hard to complete, since our inability
to complete it prevents us picking up new work. At this point
it’s tempting to relax WIP limits to make sure ‘something is
getting done’”
“It’s essential to avoid this temptation and address the
sources of the problem instead.”
– LEAN ENTERPRISE
