Lean Review (1-4)

What is lean operation focused on?

• Increasing production volume

• Reducing waste

• Improving worker satisfaction

• Adding more equipment

Name three key principles of lean manufacturing.

• Just-in-time, Six Sigma, Standardization

• Reduce defects, Increase speed, More inventory

• Minimize waste, Improve flow, Respect for people

• Quality control, Overproduction, Automation

What are the 8 types of waste in lean operation?

• Overproduction, Waiting, Motion, Defects, Inventory, Over-processing, Transportation, and Skills

• Defects, Overproduction, Skills, Energy, Motion, Time, Transportation, and Costs

• Waiting, Inventory, Space, Energy, Time, Motion, Defects, and Overproduction

• Time, Motion, Skills, Energy, Costs, Space, Overproduction, and Defects

Which type of waste refers to overproduction?

• Producing more than required

• Moving products unnecessarily

• Waiting for materials

• Too much inventory on hand

How is inventory classified as waste in lean?

• It costs money to maintain

• It hides inefficiencies

• It is hard to manage

• It takes up space

What does the waste of motion refer to in lean operations?

• Unnecessary physical movement of workers

• Too much equipment usage

• Extra transportation of goods

• Redundant communication

What does 'waiting' as a form of waste involve in a production process?

• Idle workers waiting for tools

• Idle workers waiting for the next process

• Idle workers waiting for quality checks

• Idle workers waiting for any materials or tasks

How does lean reduce the waste of defects?

• By adding more inspections

• By improving equipment efficiency

• By focusing on root cause analysis and prevention

• By increasing staff to detect defects

What does OEE measure in manufacturing?

• Cost reduction

• Equipment efficiency

• Product quality

• Customer satisfaction

What are the three components of OEE?

• Availability, Performance, and Inventory

• Performance, Inventory, and Quality

• Availability, Performance, and Quality

• Cost, Quality, and Availability
