Week 2 · Pull Systems and Inventory

SVEND Kata — Pull Systems and Inventory

A svend is a journeyman. A kata is a demonstration of form. This is a place to show what you already know how to do — not a course, not a certificate mill, and not a lead form wearing a quiz costume.

Fifteen questions on the Toyota Production System. Takt time, crewing, a current-state value stream you have to read, changeover, pull, and standard work. Arithmetic you can do on the back of a route sheet. Bring a calculator if you like — there is no time to bring anything else.

What passing earns

Twelve months of SVEND Pro. The workbench, datasets, DOE, and value-stream mapping with Hoshin. No card, no call, no trial that quietly bills you in fourteen days. You pass, you get a code, you use it.

Fail and nothing happens except that you know which ones you missed — every question is explained on the way out. Come back next week.
