2.0 Introduction - WORK STANDARDISATION

What is one of the key components of a Just-in-Time production system?

• Standardized work

• High inventory levels

• Low quality products

• Inefficient workflow

What is the objective of standardized work in Lean Manufacturing?

• To reduce the rate of production

• To increase variability and injuries

• To eliminate idle times and redundant works

• To complicate the training of new operators

What is Takt Time in Lean Manufacturing?

• The time spent on maintenance

• The time required for producing a unit

• The time spent on non-value adding activities

• The time operators take breaks

What does the Work Sequence in a Standard Work Sheet specify?

• The number of breaks allowed per shift

• The time for machine maintenance

• The exact sequence and method for performing each element of work

• The order of lunch breaks for operators

What is the purpose of Standard Inventory in Lean Manufacturing?

• To determine the amount of in-process inventory needed at the workstation

• To increase the amount of raw materials at the workstation

• To reduce the rate of production

• To eliminate the need for inventory

What is the benefit of standardized work related to training of new operators?

• No impact on training of new operators

• More difficult training of new operators

• Increased variability in training of new operators

• Easier training of new operators

What does standardizing the work add to the culture in Lean Manufacturing?

• Inefficiency

• Chaos

• Discipline

• Flexibility

What is the Standard Work Sheet used for in Lean Manufacturing?

• To clearly document and display work instructions at the workstation

• To increase variability in work processes

• To reduce the need for documentation

• To complicate communication between operators

What is the purpose of the Standard Work Sheet in Lean Manufacturing?

• To confuse operators

• To hide work instructions from operators

• To communicate work instructions to operators

• To slow down production

What is the main element emphasized in the tools and technique of Work Standardization?

• Materials

• Labor

• Time

• Machinery
