Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a two card kanban system, the move card shows when a box of parts can be moved from one station to the next. When Work Center 3 pulls the Incoming Parts C box, they will remove the move card and send it back to Work Center 2 to indicate that they need another box of parts. Therefore, the move card will move backward from Work Center 3 to Work Center 2.
