Hi Ravindra,

to give a shorter, but simplified explanation:

First, you have to define a control cycle between the place where you have the material and the place where you need it. Then, you define Kanbans that 'go around' on that control cycle.

Now, it is easier to answer your question

1. Classic Kanban: The number of Kanbans is fixed (in the control cycle)

2. Event driven Kanban: You create a new Kanban every time you need one, i.e. the number of Kanban is not fixed (at the point in time when creating the control cycle).

That's not all to it - sure - but perhaps enough to choose the category.

Regards,

Marcus
