Large batches often provide economies of scale and helps firms match inventory to market demand. ANS: F PTS: 1 10. To accomplish single piece flow, a manufacturer needs the ability to change between products quickly and inexpensively. ANS: T PTS: 1 11. Lean operating systems seek to apply the principles of continuous flow to the production of discrete parts by reducing batch size, ideally to a size of one. ANS: T OM3 Test Bank PTS: 1 Chapter 17 1 JIT systems are based on the concept associated with pull systems rather than push systems. each of which has been used independently in other applications. lean production is more concerned with less visible problems. ANS: T PTS: 1 23. finished goods inventory is produced in advance of customer demand using a forecast of sales. ANS: T PTS: 1 15. ANS: F PTS: 1 16. ANS: T PTS: 1 13. Lean Six Sigma is simply the union of lean approaches with quality improvement techniques. Lean production is focused on efficiency by reducing waste and improving process flow. The number of Kanban cards is directly proportional to the amount of work-in-process inventory. Lean principles are of primary benefit to manufacturers and provide little value to service organizations. ANS: F PTS: 1 17. Six Sigma addresses visible problems in processes. ANS: F PTS: 1 14. ANS: T PTS: 1 18. Production Kanbans trigger the movement of parts. while Six Sigma is focused on effectiveness by reducing errors and defects. A goal of total productive maintenance is to have zero accidents in the entire life cycle of the operating system. ANS: F PTS: 1 20. ANS: T PTS: 1 19. ANS: T PTS: 1 21.

Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) refers to quick setup or changeover of tooling and fixtures in processes so that multiple products in smaller batches can be run on the same equipment. For example.Production defects are a result of not performing work correctly the first time. they make a batch of 52 instead of 50 in case there are rejects. Contrast batching with single-piece flow. if a machine fails or a part is defective or manufactured incorrectly.Inventory waste is the expense incurred to meet the requirements needed to maintain. Short setup times. Over-production . and the resulting excess inventory simply sits idle. Waiting time . PTS: 1 3. 6.Longer lead-times and higher work-in-progress results from allowing queues to build up between operations.Poor layout leads to the waste of time and effort spent in moving products around the factory. Production defects . 4. Transportation .Scrap that often results from poor product or process design exemplifies the traditional notion of waste. Reduced cost PTS: 1 2. thus achieving high flexibility and product variety. Explain the concept of Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED). 5.For example. Over-production ties up production facilities. indicating that immediate action should be taken. a light might turn on or a buzzer might sound. and so on.4. ANS: The Toyotas Motor Company classified waste into the following seven major categories: 1. on the other hand. Discuss the seven major categories of waste as defined by Toyota. enable a manufacturer to have frequent changeovers and move toward single-piece flow. 7. Inventory .Motion waste is the result of inefficient workplace design. Reducing setup times also frees up capacity for other productive uses. speed of service. ANS: Long setup times waste manufacturing resources. Processing . 2. Some firms use electronic “scoreboards” to keep track of daily performance. quality levels. These scoreboards are located where everyone can see them and report key metrics such as volume. a company makes a batch of 100 when they only had orders for 50. PTS: 1 5. handle and store idle stock. OM3 Test Bank Chapter 17 7 . and the location of tools and materials. Many firms have cords that operators can pull that tell supervisors and other workers that a problem has occurred. ANS: Visual controls are indicators for operating activities that are placed in plain sight of all employees so that everyone can quickly and easily understand the status and performance of the work system. Explain the purpose of visual controls and give examples. or. to avoid an expensive setup cost. By running large batches. communication and  organizational structures. seiton (set in order). seiso (shine). TPM has been described as the health care system for the operating system. this often builds up inventory that might not match market demand. PTS: 1 7. Explain the 5Ss. providing economies of scale. The goal of TPM is to prevent equipment failures and downtime -ideally. to do this economically requires the ability to change between products quickly and inexpensively. while Six Sigma is focused on effectiveness by reducing errors and defects.ANS: Batching is the process of producing large quantities of items as a group before being transferred to the next operation. setups and teardowns are reduced. TPM seeks to    Maximize overall equipment effectiveness and eliminate unplanned downtime Create workers' "ownership" of the equipment by involving them in maintenance activities Foster continuous efforts to improve equipment operation through employee involvement activities PTS: 1 8. Standardize means to formalize procedures and practices to create consistency and  ensure that all steps are performed correctly. However. maintenance problems such as oil leaks can be identified before they cause problems. Sort refers to ensuring that each item in a workplace is in its proper place or identified as  unnecessary and removed. to have "zero accidents. PTS: 1 6. ANS: Lean production addresses visible problems in processes. Single-piece flow is the concept of ideally using batch sizes of one. How does Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) affect lean operating systems? ANS: Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is focused on ensuring that operating systems will perform their intended function reliably. but it is also  important because as a work area is cleaned. Sustain means to keep the process going through training. Six Sigma is more concerned with less visible problems such as variation in performance. However. Lean is focused on efficiency by reducing waste and improving process flow. OM3 Test Bank Chapter 17 8 . Discuss the differences between lean production and Six Sigma. zero defects and zero failures" in the entire life cycle of the operating system. Not only is this important for safety. Shine refers to a clean work area. particularly in highly dynamic markets. ANS: The 5Ss are derived from Japanese terms: seiri (sort). Set in order means to arrange materials and equipment so that they are easy to find and  use. seiketsu (standardize) and shitsuke (sustain). The Kanban process is complete when the material handler for the customer process picks up a full container of parts and takes the production Kanban card off the container. employees at a given operation go to the source of required parts. process area used. 9. Parts and subassemblies are "pushed" through the operating system based on a pre-defined schedule that is independent of actual customer demand.Another difference is that lean tools are more intuitive and easier to apply by anybody in the workplace. resulting in minimal inventories and maximum responsiveness. PTS: 1 10. Describe how it helps execute a pull system. using a forecast of sales. As the process from which parts were withdrawn replenishes the items transferred out. Withdraw Kanbans trigger the movement of parts. etc. it draws on the output of its preceding process. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: The withdraw Kanban authorizes the material handler to transfer empty containers to the storage area. leaving the empty container. The container holds a small lot-size of parts. Finished goods are made to coincide with the actual rate of demand. particularly in statistical analysis. description. which produces finished goods inventory in advance of customer demand. The other workstations in the process do not need to be scheduled because they get their production orders from the production Kanban that pulls parts through the supply process. quantity available. The gateway workstation must be scheduled to meet the sales rate and it pulls parts from all other workstations. Normally. and withdraw the units as they need them. Production Kanbans trigger the production of parts. ANS: Traditional factories use a push system. the material handler drops off a withdrawal Kanban and empty container when they pick up a full container of parts. quantity delivered. A material handler for the supply cycle places a production Kanban on the empty container and this authorizes the gateway workstation to produce parts. the gateway workstation and all other workstation may be idle. production quantity. etc. a pull system. The supply process returns a full container of parts to the storage area with the production Kanban attached. The material handler detaches the withdraw-ordering Kanban that was attached to the empty container and places the Kanban card in the storage area or on the Kanban receiving post. Define a Kanban. Compare and contrast a push system vs. just enough new parts are manufactured or procured to replace those withdrawn. ANS: A Kanban is a flag or a piece of paper that contains all relevant information for an order: part number. such as machining or subassembly. PTS: 1 PROBLEM OM3 Test Bank Chapter 17 9 . Without the authorization of the production Kanban. The Kanban system begins when the customer buys or uses the good and an empty container is created. In a pull system. while many Six Sigma tools require advanced training and expertise of specialists. Then. time of delivery. What is the number of containers currently in use? b.
