Whenever the Route Train starts refilling all materials, he first takes the next Heijunka Card from the board and places the card onto the Route Train. This card dictates him the correct materials to pick for this cycle. Once the materials are supplied, he places the Heijunka Card onto the Heijunka Order Stack. Repeat the process with the next Heijunka Card.

Assemble 10 pens according to the Customer Request. Stick to the Heijunka Board principle to keep tracking on the production sequence.

Note the time onto the Scorecard.

Discuss how this principle helps to visualize the production schedule at a bigger scale.
