¿ Si hay otros proceso aguas arriba prevista la producción solo por consumo ?
¿ Esta previsto un sistema tipo kanban para los procesos aguas arriba y abajo ?
This is a quality control checklist (Kanban by the way is effective resource management)... no idea about how to translate this. HELP PLEASE!!!

An internally integrated supply chain process seeks to work in concert to reduce the total delivered cost of finished goods. No longer does manufacturing seek to maximize its own efficiencies at the detriment of logistics or procurement. Line managers, foremen, supervisors, etc., understand and have performance measures showing them how their actions affect upstream and downstream processes. They take actions that are directed to reducing the total delivered cost of finished goods.

In contrast, lean manufacturing examines the whole operation. Lean focuses on total system efficiency rather than on isolated improvements.* Ironically, improving overall success may require individual pieces of the system to operate less efficiently, * but at the same pace as upstream and downstream processes. a guiding lean principle is streamlining production flow.* Flow improves when you get rid of wasted time, wasted effort, and wasted processing.
