Corey, can you share the petrinet on the bookcover. I think representing Kanban with Petrinets is just great.

All we have here is a simple representation of the movement of work and kanban through a pull system. It is not meant to be a complete description of the entire lean philosophy. A lot of things happen inside the square boxes.

It sounds fine, but what about JIDOKA?

For a kanban system we need a revision from the next operator in the chain, I guess.

Any ideas?

Hi Ari,

Well, in my enthusiasm for coming up with a diagram that matched the layout that I wanted, I also came up with a diagram that was wrong. Thank you for catching that. Hope this one is easier to follow.

Hi Corey – Thanks for all these great posts on Kanban. I’m not sure I follow this last one – do you have any additional info? I’m having a hard time following the flow through your diagram.
