A manufacturing plant uses Lean manufacturing.
Operators process Kanban consumption manually by using a mobile device.
The production team must use automatic empty registration for some of the event Kanbans.
Registration must occur when the last job of a Kanban is completed.
You need to update the Kanban rule to meet this requirement.

In Lean manufacturing, Kanban is a pull system that helps manage production by controlling the flow of materials and inventory. Kanban cards are used to signal when materials should be replenished or when production should be started. As operators consume materials, they manually process the Kanban consumption using a mobile device.
The production team must use automatic empty registration for some of the event Kanbans, which means that when the last job of a Kanban is completed, the system should automatically register the Kanban as empty.
To update the Kanban rule to meet this requirement, you need to update the Kanban setting that controls how the Kanban is registered as empty.
Option A, "Select to register as empty when the source requirement is registered," is not the correct answer because it registers the Kanban as empty when the source requirement is registered, which is not related to the completion of the last job.
Option B, "Select to register as empty when handling units are received," is also not the correct answer because it registers the Kanban as empty when handling units are received, which is not related to the completion of the last job.
Option C, "Select to manually register as empty," is not the correct answer because it requires manual registration, which is not automatic and does not meet the requirement of registering the Kanban as empty when the last job is completed.
Option D, "Set a fixed Kanban quantity," is not related to the requirement of registering the Kanban as empty when the last job is completed. Setting a fixed Kanban quantity means that the Kanban will be replenished with a fixed amount of materials regardless of the completion of the last job.
Therefore, the correct answer is none of the above. The Kanban setting that should be updated to meet the requirement of automatic empty registration when the last job of a Kanban is completed is the "Register as empty when the last job is completed" setting. This setting will automatically register the Kanban as empty when the last job is completed, which meets the requirement of the production team.
