Production Lines & Kanban
The kanban system, used in the Toyota Production System, is a way of producing that prevents making too much.
Lines and Processes
A production line splits the work into processes and makes products by passing them along in order.
Downstream Picks Up
In the kanban system, the downstream process goes back to the upstream process to pick up only as many parts as it has used.
Kanban Gives Instructions
The kanban card that was removed is passed to the upstream process, telling it what to make and how many. The upstream process then makes exactly that amount.
Push vs. Pull
If you keep making things before they are used, inventory piles up. If you make only what was used, you cut both inventory and overproduction.
What, When, How Much
What is needed, when it is needed, and only as much as is needed. This is the idea of Just-in-Time.
Make Only What's Used
The kanban system is a pull system that makes only what the downstream process has used.
Create 3D explainer videos like this sample from your documents and chat
Just attach product documents, drawings, or CAD data and tell the AI in chat what video you want. The AI plans the storyboard, builds the 3D scenes, and turns it into a video with narration and captions. You pay only for what you use (a rough guide is about 3,500 credits for a 1-minute video with 2 small revisions).
