  • Pull system: Production based on actual demand.
  • Bottleneck management: Identification and elimination of bottlenecks.

Advantages:

  • Transparency: Clear visualization of the work flow.
  • Flexibility: Quick adaptation to changes in demand.
  • Efficiency: Optimization of material flow and reduction of stock levels.
