The method described in the question is referring to Constant Work-in-Process or ConWIP. ConWIP involves using a set number of cards to limit work-in-progress at a work center, which helps to control lead time and monitor backlog. The other options listed (assignment method, backward scheduling, forward scheduling, and level material use) do not specifically pertain to this method of input-output control.
