Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a paperless control system, containers can be used instead of cards. The other statements are incorrect. Kanban systems are a form of pull production control system, not push. The authority to produce or supply additional parts comes from downstream operations, not upstream. While quantitative analysis is necessary for implementation, it is not necessarily substantial. Kanban systems have been successfully implemented in various countries outside of Japan and the United States.
