Andon Systems

Andon systems are visual and auditory signaling mechanisms that alert production teams to process abnormalities or quality issues requiring immediate attention. Operators pull a cord or press a button to stop the production line and notify supervisors when problems arise, enabling rapid problem identification and resolution before defects propagate. This real-time feedback mechanism supports lean manufacturing objectives by reducing waste, minimizing rework, and maintaining consistent quality standards across manufacturing operations.

Andon Systems sits under Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement in the Manufacturing and Production domain of the Luminid skills catalogue.
