A Supermarket is inventory used in tandem with Kanbans as a Pull system to stock materials according to demand. The name comes from the type of shelving used in a supermarket where as one bottle of milk is removed from the shelf, another one rolls into place. Anyone viewing the shelf from behind can see exactly whatâs been removed by a customer and how much inventory needs to be replaced. Supermarkets are located near the supplying process so process participants can see and respond to customer usage.
