1. Brief description

You can use the Kanban object to model 'single cards' Kanban lines. Several objects of type KANBAN can be used in the same model

2. Procedure and control description

Typically, you will use two Kanban connection points. The first connects a supermarket with the Kanban object and the second connects the Kanban object with any production process or supplier.

As soon as a product is removed from the supermarket (thus creating an empty Kanban card), the Kanban object creates a new production order at the assigned end point.
