In a way, that's true. The only difference I wanted to make was that most Kan Bans include finished goods manufactured from a fixed bill of materials (BOM). Multiple operations will have work-in-process inventory - all waiting to move to the next operation once finished goods are ordered. With a Push-Pull, 75-80% comes from a fixed BOM, while the 20% comes from a semi-fixed BOM - thereby giving customers more options. Also, it's not always just a 2 stage process with Push Pull - it can be more.
Interesting video. We have been implementing lean concepts at our company and are just starting to upload our lean improvements. Let us know what you think!

Why do you have 2 steps in each lane? Is this based on skills certain folks have or what is the logic here?
