A tool used to implement a pull system is:

• A. Jidoka
• B. Tablet
• C. FIFO Lane
• D. Kanban

Answer: (D)

A pull system is driven by actual consumption, not forecasted production. Kanban serves as the signaling mechanism that tells upstream processes when to make or move more work. When a downstream step finishes a unit, the Kanban card or signal is used to pull the next batch, triggering replenishment and helping limit work-in-progress and inventory while exposing bottlenecks. Jidoka relates to stopping for quality issues, not to signaling replenishment; FIFO Lane relates to maintaining the order of items but does not implement the pull signal. So Kanban is the tool that implements the pull system.
