I've just finished writing this page, so wanted to note down some commentary.
Note the following book has some factual errors in it. I initially used it as a source but it erroneously claims that more than a million workers participated in production control up to April 1946, when only 100,000 did according to official statistics. I have not fully investigated the validity of this work, but avoided utilising it as a source in this article. Koschmann, Julian Victor (1996). Revolution and Subjectivity in Postwar Japan. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. pp. 19–21.
I could not find any sources that mentioned any instances of production control past 1947. However, the data from Moore 1985 that is represented in the table and in the graph, which originated from the Japanese Prime Minister's office, indicates that it remained useful to workers until at least the beginning of 1947.
I could not pin down a precise date for Yoshida's June 1946 ban of the tactic, nor for SCAP's corroboration thereof. Sources I found agreed that this happened in June 1946 however.
