C) Bell to ring? That's the most ridiculous answer I've ever seen. Who wrote this exam?

B) Signal makes the most sense. Kanban is all about visual cues and just-in-time production.

B) Signal is the correct answer. Kanban uses a signal, such as a card or visual indicator, to authorize the movement of work.

I feel like "Signal" is the term used in Kanban, but I can't recall the exact details. I hope I’m not confusing it with something else!

I’m leaning towards "Sign-off," but I could be mixing it up with another method. Kanban is all about flow, right?

I remember practicing a question about Kanban where it mentioned needing a "work order" to start a process. Could that be the right choice here?

I think the answer might be "Signal," but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like something I read about in the context of Kanban.

This question seems straightforward enough. Kanban uses a signal to control the flow of production, so I'm going to go with B. I feel good about this one.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know Kanban is about managing production, but I'm not sure which of these options is the specific method it uses. I'll have to review my notes and try to eliminate the wrong answers.

I think the key here is understanding what Kanban is trying to achieve - efficient flow. The question is asking about the specific method Kanban uses, so I'll need to focus on that.
