What must be done before using any tool or machine?

• Ask if you can use

• Look for tripping hazards

• Clean the tool/ machine

• Pre-Use Inspection

Dale and Brian are exploring Lean Manufacturing principles in class. They come across a fascinating inventory scheduling system that keeps vendor managed parts fully stocked. Can you help them identify this system?

• Pulse

• Parts ordering Cards

• Kanban

• 5S

Answer explanation

The Kanban system is a visual inventory management method that ensures parts are restocked as needed, making it ideal for vendor-managed inventory. It helps maintain a continuous flow of materials, aligning with Lean Manufacturing principles.

Imagine you're a part of a dynamic team with Lincoln and Joe. When is the best time to order new parts to keep the workflow smooth and efficient?

• As soon as the bin is empty.

• Before the end of your shift.

• When your supervisor asks you.

• Shortly before you run out of parts.

Answer explanation

Ordering new parts as soon as the bin is empty ensures that you maintain a continuous workflow without delays. Waiting until later can lead to shortages and interruptions in the process.

When do we practice 5S?

• Every hour on the hour

• It just needs to be done once a week

• This is a one time event.

• Before the end of each shift.

Answer explanation

The 5S method helps Bobby and Jorge by keeping track of their tools, maintaining a clutter-free and safer workspace, and boosting their overall efficiency, making their workshop organization more effective.

During a thrilling treasure hunt, Zach stumbled upon a mysterious old book. Inside, he found a puzzling question: What does S.O.E stand for? Help Zach solve the mystery!

• System of Efficiency

• Standard Operating Efficiency

• Sequence of Events

• System Operating Event

Answer explanation

S.O.E stands for 'Sequence of Events', which is commonly used in various contexts to describe the order in which events occur. The other options do not fit this definition, making 'Sequence of Events' the correct answer.

What does it mean when the S.O.E. is highlighted in RED?

• This S.O.E. should be ignored

• Stop! Don't perform this S.O.E.

• This is a critical S.O.E. and must be done in order.

• S.O.E.'s are never highlighted in RED.

Answer explanation

When the S.O.E. is highlighted in RED, it indicates it is critical that the S.O.E. be done in order. This highlights the importance of following the correct sequence to ensure proper execution.
