Pull the Card

Make what the customer took. Let the cards tell you.

Printable kit and facilitator guide for an in-person workshop

Each team runs a paper machine: an operator draws parts with markers while a customer takes them from a shelf mat, one order card at a time. The kit has a 7-page facilitator guide, the shelf mat, kanban cards, two decks of order cards, part squares, the schedule, and observation and results sheets with filled-in examples.

Watch how to run it (about 5 minutes)

Letter-size. Each team also needs scissors, paper clips, a cup, and a red, a blue and a yellow marker.
