- CHILCUTT - SPRING '21 - CHAPTER
16 CORRECT 100%
Just-in-time philosophy - ANSWERContinuous and forced problem solving via a
focus on throughput and reduced inventory
Toyota Production System (TPS) - ANSWERemphasizes continuous improvement,
respect for people, and standard work practices in an assembly-line environment
Just In Time and Inventory Reduction are both effective toolds for -
ANSWERreducing variability
Throughput - ANSWERthe rate at which units move through a production process
manufacturing cycle time - ANSWERthe time between the arrival of raw materials
and the shipping of finished products
A pull system increases - ANSWERthroughput
Pull System - ANSWERby pulling material in small lots, inventory cushions are
removed, problems are exposed, and continuous improvement can be implemented
Lean production - ANSWERsupplies the customer with their exact wants when the
customer wants it without waste
Lean Operations - ANSWEREmphasize the customer
3 issues that are the core of JIT/Lean Operations - ANSWEREliminate waste,
remove variability, and improve throughput
Waste - ANSWERanything that does not add value from the customer's perspective
Examples of Waste - ANSWERStorage, inspections, waiting in queues, defective
products
Ohno's Seven Wastes - ANSWER1. overproduction
2. queues (waiting time)
3. transportation
4. inventory
5. motion
6. overprocessing
7. defective products
, Other Resources that can be wasted - ANSWERspace, energy, water, air
The 5 S's - ANSWERsort/segregate, straighten/simplify, shine/sweep, standardize,
sustain/self-discipline
sort/segregate - ANSWERwhen in doubt, throw it out
simplify/straighten - ANSWERmethods analysis tools
shine/sweep - ANSWERclean daily
standardize - ANSWERremove variations from processes
Sustain/self-discipline - ANSWERreview work and recognize progress
variability - ANSWERany deviation from the optimum process that delivers perfect
product on time, every time
variability can be caused by both - ANSWERinternal and external factors
Less variability means - ANSWERless waste
inventory can hide - ANSWERvariability
Sources of Variability - ANSWER• Incomplete or inaccurate drawings or
specifications
• Poor production processes resulting in incorrect quantities, late, or non-conforming
units
• Unknown customer demands
Pull Systems reduce - ANSWERmanufacturing cycle time.
Push Systems - ANSWERdump orders on the downstream stations regardless of the
need
Just-in-time (JIT) - ANSWER-Powerful strategy for improving operations
-Materials arrive where they
are needed when they are
needed
-Identifying problems and
driving out waste reduces
costs and variability and
improves throughput
-Requires a meaningful
buyer-supplier relationship
JIT partnerships - ANSWERexist when a supplier and purchaser work together to
remove waste and drive down costs
