Question 1

Describe the movements of parts and kanbans in a two-card kanban system.

Accepted Answer

A two-card kanban system has move cards in boxes of raw materials and production cards in boxes of finished goods.When a box of finished goods is pulled by a downstream position (by either a customer or another work center)the production card is removed from the box and placed at the upstream position,thus triggering the need to produce more parts at this position.To do so,the worker at this center must obtain more raw materials,so they pull a box of parts from the upstream position.As they pull this box of parts,they remove the card and place it in a conspicuous location at the upstream position.This serves as the order to fill that box with more raw materials.Once the box is filled with raw materials,the move card is put back in the box,ready for another cycle.The finished goods container works the same way;once the goods are finished,the production card is replaced and ready for the next iteration.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 12

Two modules are used to feed the final assembly station on an assembly line.The final assembly station must produce 250 units in an eight-hour day.Each finished unit needs two module As and 3 module Bs.The factory uses a standard sized container that can hold 25 module As or 35 module Bs.It takes 2 hours to fill and move a container of module As but only 90 minutes to fill and move a container of module Bs.If both module assembly processes have safety factors of 15%,how many containers should be used for each? How many hours of demand will this satisfy?

Accepted Answer

The number of containers is governed by

Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 14

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?

Accepted Answer

A) 3 
B) 26 
C) 82 
D) 155 
A) 3 
B) 26 
C) 82 
D) 155

Question 15

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.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 16

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.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 17

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 18
