Kanban System Principles and Functions

The video tutorial demonstrates a pull system by MC Corporation, where parts are replenished based on visual signals indicating consumption. The process involves pulling parts from shelves for assembly and packaging, leaving empty spaces as signals for restocking. The system is driven by visual cues to ensure only consumed parts are restocked, optimizing inventory management.
