Match the situation with the likely improvement method: Demand-constrained Supply-constrained

Demand-constrained = Reduce costs Supply-constrained = Increase flow rate

In a Kanban system there is no limit on how much inventory can accumulate True False

False

__________ is the process control system wherein an upstream resource replenishes what demand has withdrawn from the downstream.

Kanban

__________ is a Japanese work that refers to an overburdening of workers or equipment

Muri

Match the category of work with the appropriate description: Non-value-added work Value-added- work

Non-value-added work = Necessary because of how current process operates Value-added work = Necessary to transform flow unit from inputs to output the customer wants

If an individual works 8 hours a day and after a process improvement his time spent on value added activities increases then his OEE will: increase decrease stay the same

OEE = (Value added time)/(Total available time) increase

__________ stock that is held to respond to variation in the process is a factor that impacts the design of a Kanban system.

Safety

The higher the labor content the __________ the target manpower higher lower

Target manpower = (Labor content)/(Takt time) higher

A Kanban system automatically controls the amount of inventory. True False

True

Taylor saw workers as __________. intelligent individuals that can help to design and improve their work animals to be tamed and trained to do work designed by engineers

animals to be tamed and trained to do work designed by engineers

To understand how much improvement potential there is one must first measure what percentage of a machine's or a worker's __________ is used productively.

capacity

Imagine a process with four steps and one individual working at each step. Which workforce would be preferable based on the TPS philosophy towards pace? four novice workers three novice workers and one expert

four novice workers

The higher the demand rate, the __________ the number of Kanban cards. greater lesser

greater

The basic philosophy of TPS is that the production process should __________ production when a quality problem is discovered halt continue

halt

Little's Law enables one to calculate flow time indirectly by examining __________.

inventory

The source of waste that is the most visible form of supply-demand mismatch is labeled as: transport overproduction rework overprocessing inventory motion and movements waiting

inventory

Analyzing the root cause of a quality problem on the shop floor is known as __________ (Japanese term).

kaizen

U-shaped lines facilitate one worker being in charge of __________ machine. one more than one

more than one

To minimize distance, processes should be laid out so the physical lay-out reflects the __________ flow.

process

In a __________ system, production only occurs because there is demand. pull push

pull

In a __________ system, inventory can just accumulate. pull push

push

To implement single unit flow, you should operate at __________ time.

takt

Ideally, the time a flow unit spends in processing is __________ time. wasted value-added

value-added

An operation is lean if it simultaneously strives for a reduction of __________ in its capacity and in the time a flow unit spends in the system.

waste

In the house representation of TPS the roof represents the principle of __________ reduction.

waste

Ideas for fool-proofing an activity in order to prevent a previously detected defect from recurring often involve a new __________ standard.

work

The eighth source of waste is the waste of __________ intellect.

worker
