TOM 3010 - CH 8|85 Quiz Questions
Perfectly Answered
For jidoka, autonomation to work? - ✔ ✔ 1. equipment has to be capable of detecting problem exists
2. stopping production
3. alerting the operator
How can we determine if a process is lean? - ✔ ✔ the operation strives for a reduction of waste in its
capacity AND the time a flow unit spends in the system
How does a make to order pull system work? - ✔ ✔ Typically each flow unit in a make to order
system is already assigned to one specific customer order with a first in, first out (FIFO) basis.
This is different from kanban where a resource may receive the work authorization to make a part but
don't determine which customer order it will fulfill
How does a process layout look like for a single unit flow? - ✔ ✔ 1. organize work stations matching
flow of materials physically together to reduce transportation needs (ex. parts moving from machine 1
to machine 2, these two machines should be close to each other)
2. Baton passing zones (Instead of having fixed allocations of activities to workers, the idea of a baton
passing zone is that the process can absorb variations in speed and starting time.)
3. U-shaped lines (organizing flow in a physical U shape is better than a straight line as it allows workers
to help each other from opposite ends)
How does less flow time affect inventory? - ✔ ✔ It causes LESS inventory
How is inventory affected by kanban PULL system? - ✔ ✔ can never have more inventory between
two resources (steps) in a process than authorized by kanban cards
How is inventory affected by push system? - ✔ ✔ upstream resource continues to produce as long as
it has inputs available --> excess inventory after the step (NO LIMIT TO INVENTORY)
, How many kanban containers should management put into system? (number of kanban = how much
inventory is allowed to be generated from operations) - ✔ ✔ CONTAINER SIZE (larger a container the
less kanban needed)
DEMAND RATE (higher demand requires more inventory)
REPLENISHMENT TIME (time to make units per container and transport them to receiver)
SAFETY STOCK (how much inventory extra is needed in case of breakdowns, defects, or other variations)
How to calculate takt time? - ✔ ✔ =Available Production Time divided by Customer Demand.
How to find target manpower once we have the takt time? - ✔ ✔ =sum of the processing times
across all workers / Takt Time
If you have a processing time of 50 secs per unit and a takt time of 10 secs per unit how many workers
do you need to meet demand? - ✔ ✔ 5 workers
because you only have 10 secs to make a unit according to customer demand but your resource takes 50
secs to complete the unit. Thus, to speed up the process of making one unit to 10 secs, you need 5
people
In a _blank_ system, inventory is a managerial decision. - ✔ ✔ pull
In which type of system does production occurs only because there is demand? - ✔ ✔ Pull
Is the kanban system a single flow system? - ✔ ✔ NO, units are still batched together
LOOK AT TPS MAP IN CH 8 - ✔ ✔ LOOK AT TPS MAP IN CH 8
Most organizations use which form of pull systems? - ✔ ✔ BOTH
Number of kanban cards FORMULA? - ✔ ✔ = (Demand during replenishment time + safety stock) /
Container size
Demand during replacement time = replenishment time x demand rate
