Developer ports Toyota's Lean quality system to AI agents

A developer has created an open-source tool called Andon, inspired by Toyota's Lean manufacturing quality system, to help AI agents learn from their mistakes. The tool logs agent failures, analyzes root causes, and implements countermeasures to prevent recurring errors. Andon includes a "Stop hook" that verifies evidence before an agent session concludes, aiming to improve the operational learning of AI systems. AI

IMPACT Provides a framework for improving AI agent reliability by applying manufacturing quality principles.
