The just-in-time philosophy applies only to the production floor of a manufacturing company.

F

Just-in-time production is the same thing as Lean production

T

Companies employing the Lean philosophy use only kanban as a production control method.

F

Lean thinking has received considerable attention in the last decade, but tools such as kanbans cannot be used in all production environments.

T

Transportation is waste according to the Lean philosophy.

T

Since a JIT manufacturer has very little inventory, it is vital that all incoming parts receive a thorough inspection.

F

A reduction in inventory levels forces a company to improve manufacturing practices.

T

One recent development in Lean thinking is the combination of Lean and Six Sigma into Lean Six Sigma, which combines the rigor of statistical analysis and DMAIC approach with Lean's focus on waste reduction.

T

A two-card kanban system is a planning tool that links production and movement of units at two work centers.

F

The cards employed in a two-card kanban system are the production card and the move card.

T

A pull system is a production system in which actual downstream demand sets off a chain of events that pull material through various steps in the production process.

T

The forecast for next month is 200 units so the manufacturer gathers materials for this anticipated level of production activity. This is an example of pull production.

F

The greater the demand, the more kanbans are needed.

T

An increase in the safety factor results in an increase in the amount of inventory in a kanban system.

T

In the kanban formula, the letter T represents the time it takes to empty a box of parts through building product.

F

For a kanban system to work properly, demand rates must be relatively stable, and interruptions must be minimized.

T

Some companies have found it beneficial to combine the planning capabilities of kanban with the control capabilities of MRP.

F

JIT can be used in

All of these settings are appropriate for JIT

Which of the following is NOT an element of Lean production?

To increase queue lengths

Inflexible or unrelaibale processes that cause organizations to produce goods before they are required are called

overproduction

Scrap or rework are examples of the JIT waste recognized as

defects

In the water and rocks analogy for JIT

water represents inventory

Lean supply chain management focuses on eliminating waste

in all of the above areas

A kanban can be

All of these can be kanbans

In a two-card kanban system (1)

the move card signals when a container of parts should move to the next process step

In a two-carded kanban system (2)

a downstream station pulls finished material out of a production area

In a single-card kanban system

the single card is the production card

Liversuch Industries uses a kanban system to manage production of the J-15 subassembly. They have an hourly demand for 250 units and use containers that can hold 50 units each. It takes 90 minutes to fill and move a container of parts to the right place on the J-15 line that is currently rated at a 20% safety factor. How many production cards are needed?

9

Livermore Industries uses a kanban system to manage production of the KR-9 subassembly. In a ten-hour day they use 1500 units and use containers that can hold 50 units each. It takes 45 minutes to fill and move a container of parts to the right place on the KR-9 line that is currently rated at a 15% safety factor. How many production cards are needed?

3

Livernonions Industries uses a kanban system to manage production of the BR-549 subassembly. In an eight-hour day they use 900 units and use containers that can hold 30 units each. It takes 120 minutes to fill and move a container of parts to the right place on the BR-549 line that is currently rated at a 15% safety factor. How many production hours of inventory are needed?

2.4

Olivia has had enough of the theoretical equations and rejects the higher math needed to calculate the number of kanbans for her system. One approach that some organizations take in lieu of the kanban equation is to:

start with too many kanbans and gradually reduce them until a problem arises.

Which of the following statements regarding supply chain synchronization using kanbans is BEST?

For the system to work properly, demand rates must be relatively stable and interruptions must be minimized.

When using MRP and kanban together:

the number of kanbans is recalculated from the MRP system's order changes throughout the horizon.

physics

A sled with a mass of $5.80 \mathrm{~kg}$ is pulled along the ground through a displacement given by $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{~d}}=(4.55 \mathrm{~m}) \hat{\mathbf{~x}}$. (Let the $x$ axis be horizontal and the $y$ axis be vertical.) How much work is done on the sled when the force acting on it is $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{~F}}=(2.89 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathbf{x}}+$ $(0.131 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathbf{y}}$ ?

physics

A person of mass $M$ lies on the floor doing leg raises. His leg is $95 \mathrm{~cm}$ long and pivots at the hip. Treat his legs (including feet) as uniform cylinders, with both legs comprising $34.5 \%$ of body mass, and the rest of his body as a uniform cylinder comprising the rest of his mass. He raises both legs $50.0^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. (a) How far does the center of mass of each leg rise?

What is two card kanban system?

In the two card Kanban-system, each workstation along the production line is proceeded and succeeded by inventory points: One immediately prior to the production activity storing input materials, and one immediately following the production activity storing the output.

Which of the following statements is true about kanban?

a) Kanban is a pull based method. This means that work is only started when it is needed and not before. This helps to avoid having too much work in progress and ensures that the team is always working on the most important tasks.

What is the purpose of a kanban system quizlet?

it is used to signal production at the previous work station. It is used to alert that inventory is needed. What is a Material Kanban?

What is the formula for determining the number of kanban cards or containers?

Here's the formula: N = DT(1+X)/C. Each letter stands for the following: N is the number of kanban cards needed before you replenish inventory. D is the demand for the part (i.e., how many are used within the lead time, sometimes measured in parts per day).
