[Video Lecture] In Dr. Miller's explanation of Product Families, he mentions that a sandwich shop like Quiznos or Subway probably has how many different Product Families?

3 - 5

[Video Lecture] A process cell has four workstations. Products must be processed by each workstation sequentially: Raw Material -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- Finished Product. The first station completes one product every 5 minutes.-The second station completes one product every 2 minutes.- The third station completes one product every 3 minutes.- The fourth station completes one product every 4 minutes.

5 minutes

[Video Lecture] A manufacturing operation is open 11 hours each day. There are two 10 minute breaks and a 0.5 hour lunch planned where the manufacturing operation stops. What is the available time in minutes?

610 minutes per day

[Video Lecture] The takt time has been calculated to be 9 minutes per product. Management would like the Capacity Utilization to be 85%. What is the design takt?

7.65 minutes

[Video Lecture] The takt time has been calculated to be 6 minutes per product. The work cell is capable of producing at a pace of 4.8 minutes per product. The cell Capacity Utilization is:

80.00 %

[Video Lecture] The available time per day is 600 minutes. The organization would like to be capable of producing 4000 products each day. What is the takt time in seconds?

9 seconds per product

[Lean Six Sigma Memory Jogger] The combination of equipment, material, and people in close proximity to maximize flexibility, create flow, and minimize non-value-added activities is called:

Cellular Layout

[Video Lecture] The process layout that typically fosters poor communication between work groups is:

Functional Layout

[Lean Toolbox] The origin of the word "Takt" is:

German

Within the simulation you just saw, the person performing the simulation gives you one "secret" for why one piece flow is faster. One of the reasons is:

In batch production we pick up and set down items many times. in One Piece Flow, we never put the item down until it is done.

[Lean Six Sigma Memory Jogger] The three elements of Standard Work are: How long the operation should take (cycle time), the quantity of work in process that must be maintained (WIP), and the:

Order in which the operation should be completed.

[Lean Toolbox] The time to complete a container of parts (the takt time multiplied by the container quantity) is called:

Pitch

[Lean Toolbox] To establish activity timing, the Lean Toolbox recommends videoing

Several operators, during several shifts, multiple times

[Video Lecture] If the machine cycle time is greater than the design takt time, one way to get around this problem is:

add a second machine to the work cell

[Lean Toolbox] "Fake Flow" is created when:

batches are continued to be produced within a U-shaped cell

[Lean Toolbox] A "cardboard kaizen" is used to:

create a full scale mock-up of a production area so workers can act as if they are actually running the cell

[Video Lecture] The worker with 26 years of experience in the opening video has now been given the permission to:

fail and make mistakes

[Lean Thinking in the Office Article] The reason that many service organizations have had difficulty in applying lean principles is because they:

fail to implement flow and pull

[Lean Six Sigma Memory Jogger] Takt time attempts to align:

manufacturing rate to demand rate

[Lean Toolbox] To increase the production volume of a cell, one can add operators. When two or more operators "chase" one another around the cell, doing all the tasks at all the workstations, this is known as a:

rabbit chase

[Lean Toolbox] Counterintuitively, working to Takt Time may require:

slowing down

[Video Lecture] When Tom Root of Zingerman's asks the Deli Manager what she dreads about the weekend, the Deli Manager replies:

the pile of sandwiches

[Lean Toolbox] Eli Goldratt's TOC utilizes three performance measures for operations:

throughput, inventory, operating expense

[Video Lecture] The worker who drives a "trolley" or cart on a regular route around a manufacturing facility, picking up parts from a variety of work cells and delivering them to a shared resource and back again, we call a:
