Ambiguous Visual Controls: Invisible Inventory Management

By Jon Miller Updated on May 20th, 2017

It appears that our local Hello Kitty store is low on stock of invisible pens. I only see one invisible pen in this display (or rather, don’t see it). I would hate to have the job of the invisible pen warehouseman on cycle counting day. Talk about an impossible job…

The invisible pens are underneath the pink kanban. Remove the kanban to access the invisible pen! When there are ‘n’ kanban left, order more invisible pens.
