B

Characteristics of​ just-in-time partnerships do NOT​ include: A. produce with zero defects. B. large lot sizes to save on setup costs and to gain quantity discounts. C. removal of​ in-transit inventory. D. focus on core competencies. E. ​long-term contracts.

B. large lot sizes to save on setup costs and to gain quantity discounts

which of the following is generally found in most Lean environments? A. push systems B. a push system for high margin items and a pull system for low margin items C. pull systems D. a push system for purchased parts and a pull system for manufactured parts E. a push or pull​ system, depending upon the rate of demand

C

The list of​ 5Ss, although it looks like a housekeeping​ directive, supports lean production​ by: A. eliminating wasted motion through ergonomic​ studies, in the​ "support" category. B. reducing​ inventory, in the​ "standardize" category. C. identifying​ non-value items and removing​ them, in the​ "sort/segregate" category. D. building good safety​ practices, in the​ "shine/sweep" category. E. increasing variability through standardized​ procedures, in the​ "standardize" category.

C. identifying​ non-value items and removing​ them, in the​ "sort/segregate" category.

Which one of the following is a concern expressed by suppliers in JIT​ partnerships? A. ​customers' infrequent engineering changes B. delivery to the point of use C. having too many customers D. having limited ability to respond to changes in product and quality E. large lot sizes

D. having limited ability to respond to changes in product and quality

what does TPS stand for? A. Total Process Simplification B. Transparent Processing System C. Total Production Streamlining D. ​Taguchi's Production​ S's E. Toyota Production System

E

E. Shigeo Shingo

A kanban system requires that the process has little variability in lead time because shortages impact the entire production system. T/F

T

lean operations

Variability in manufacturing can occur because engineering drawings or specifications are incomplete or inaccurate.

true

the 5Ss-sort/segregate . simplify/straighten, shine/sweep, standardize, and sustain/self discipline - are important to lean production because they act as a means to reduce waste.
