Abstract

This chapter examines the Kanban Board as a management tool, addressing its concept, origins, industry adoption, benefits, and implementation barriers. Additionally, it presents a detailed bibliometric analysis of the Kanban Board and Health Services, highlighting the United States as the country with the most significant contribution and impact in this field. The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine stands out, having garnered 302 citations despite publishing only four documents, thus underscoring the importance of these papers. Furthermore, it explores the application of this methodology through a case study in a dental clinic, where waiting times were reduced by 70.45%. This chapter emphasizes the effectiveness of the Kanban Board, even in healthcare settings, and demonstrates its ability to generate significant improvements in operational efficiency.
