Many of the garment manufacturers are practicing the __ampersandsignbdquo;push? system of production [2]. This results in high stocking in the stores, large work-in process and large volumes of finished goods in the warehouse. Consequently, substantial amount of capital is tied up, resulting in perennial financial pressures. [4]. According to Taiichi Ohno, the person credited with developing Just-in-time concept (JIT), Kanban is one means through which JIT is achieved[10]. Kanban is not an inventory control system. Rather, it is a scheduling system that pin points what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce[7]. The flow of parts throughout the product line is controlled by Kanban Cards as proposed by [5]. Kanban system is known to tackle and solve the situation of inventory control too. [6]. The international market expects quality and responsive services from India. Most of the Garment Industries in India are in the small and medium sector. Apparel manufacturers are forced to deliver high quality garments at low costs in order to survive in the competitive world [9]. Hence an attempt was made to introduce and implement the Kanban system at Messrs Sun Garment Industry (located near Bangalore) where this assignment was taken up. This research work was carried out with the objective of designing the Kanban method for controlling the production and material flow in the above industry.&#13;
