Meaning "visible record“ or “signal”in Japanese, Kanban is a system of notification from one process to the other in a manufacturing system. A Kanban system can signal the movement of raw goods, components or finished goods from the supplying or producing location to the consuming location. It can also signal the authorization to produce more product. Kanban cards, which may be multicolored based on priority, are stored in a bin or container that holds the items. They describe the parts,supplier and quantity. When the bin is emptied, the Kanban is used to order more. A two-card Kanban system uses "move" cards to relocate items from one workplace to another and "production" cards to replace the material when it is used or sold. One major benefit of a Kanban system is that it limits inventory build up.

Kerberos is a secure method for authenticating a request for a service in a computer network. Kerberos was developed in the Athena Project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The name is taken from Greek mythology; Kerberos was a three-headed dog who guarded the gates of Hades. Kerberos lets a user request an encrypted "ticket" from an authentication process that can then be used to request a particular service from a Server. The user's password does not have to pass through the network. A version of Kerberos (Client and server) can be downloaded from MIT or you can buy a commercial version.
