Overview

The Resources domain tracks operational assets that move through defined lifecycle states. Resources are distinct from Reference Data in that they have ongoing operational status, event history, and physical-world interactions.

Sub-areas

Sub-area	Description
Kanban Cards	Physical and digital kanban cards used in lean manufacturing and inventory management (RES::KC)

Operators	Human actors assigned to stations and work orders (RES::OPR)
Kanban Loops	Closed-loop replenishment circuits linking consumption points to supply (RES::LOOP)

• Full lifecycle management with state-transition validation
• Event sourcing for lifecycle history
• Bitemporal persistence
• Integration with Reference Data modules (Items, Locations)
