- All of the above

. In lean production, "withdrawal by subsequent processes" means__

- An "upstream" manufacturing work center doesn't replenish an item until the "downstream" manufacturing cycle that uses the item takes a container of parts from the "upstream" work center

In the TPS system, waste is defined as:

- Anything more than the minimum amount of equipment, parts, space, material, & labor time necessary to add value to the product

In the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, "Check" means__

- Compare actual outcomes to planned (desired) outcomes
