The document discusses the KANBAN system for replenishing materials in a lean production process. It describes different types of KANBAN including in-process KANBAN and multiple-card KANBAN. The single-card KANBAN system uses two containers that are replenished when empty, maintaining steady production. Replenishment points should be close to the production line. Multiple-card KANBAN uses separate cards to signal moving and producing materials, with a wait/work board to prioritize production based on consumption signals.
