ITPEC IP April 2025 Question 90
ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 90 of 100
Kanban system — downstream demand signals authorize upstream production and delivery in a just-in-time pull system.
A kanban carries item and quantity information. The downstream process sends it backward as a production or replenishment instruction, while the upstream process attaches or returns it with supplied parts. Electronic tags can implement the same signaling digitally.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) Craft production relies on skilled individual production rather than pull signals
- (c) Cell production groups workers or equipment to complete a product or family
- (d) Build-to-stock produces from forecasts for inventory, unlike demand-triggered JIT flow
Key rule: Kanban limits work and inventory by authorizing production from actual downstream consumption rather than forecast alone.
