,The five principles of Lean 6 sigma are
-Value, timeliness, pull, flow, and price
-Value, timeliness, pull, flow, and perfection
-Value, value stream mapping, pull, flow, and perfection
-Value, value stream mapping, pull, flow, and price - answerValue, value stream
mapping, pull, flow, and perfection
Flow is noted as in the reading as:
-Minimizes defects
-Builds continuous movement processes and reduces wasted motion, interruptions, and
delays
-Produces products when demanded by customers
-Is every action taken to design, produce, and deliver a product - answerBuilds
continuous movement processes and reduces wasted motion, interruptions, and delays
Value stream mapping is
-Builds continuous movement processes and reduces wasted motion, interruptions, and
delays
-Documents every action taken to design, produce, and deliver a product
-Minimizes defects
-Focuses on the product features that enhance customer satisfaction -
answerDocuments every action taken to design, produce, and deliver a product

Value stream mapping is aimed at determining if
-Current steps add or reduce value
-Support functions improve the performance of care givers
-Additional steps are required
-Current steps can be performed more effectively or efficiently
-All of the above - answerAll of the above
Load leveling is
-Proactively seeking out and capitalizing on opportunities
-Distributing work to ensure all workers are fully employed, neither over- or
underworked
-Standardizing inputs and processes to ensure consistent output
-Striving for prevention of rather than correction of defect - answerDistributing work to
ensure all workers are fully employed, neither over- or underworked
To improve flow, workers should do all of the following except
-Institute batch processes
-Ignore artificial boundaries created between departments and authority lines
-Focus on the good or service to be provided to the customer
-Minimize queues, stoppages, and backflows - answerInstitute batch processes
Pull systems where production does not begin until a customer order is received
reduces all of the following wastes except
-Defects
-Overproduction
-Excess inventories
-Idleness - answerDefects
