Situation 1
1. Arrival rate is constant = 1 Request/day2. All Requests are of Standard size3. No defect produced by any team4. Items are processed in FIFO basis5. Every team always take same duration per CR

Simulation should be done beforehand!
Continue with normal working practice
At interval-end, collect data
Feedback for process changes
Refine the system
And possibly the agreement
Use Lean Measures for agreement setting
Not person-hours
Simulate to know from up-front how system would behave
This will reduce daily tracking overheads
Kanban is like a doctor, extensively wanted till you cure
Afterwards, Follow-ups

Thank you!
