Exam 7: Just-In-Time and Lean Systems

Consider a workstation that can process 4000 units per hour.It takes 15 minutes to receive an order from the previous station.The container size is 20 units.The factory sets safety stock at 20 percent of demand during lead time.How many kanbans are needed for the workstation?

What JIT concepts are applicable to service organizations?

Uniform plant loading involves

JIT manufacturing cannot succeed if __________costs are too high.

What is the formula to compute the number of kanbans needed to control the production of a particular product (including the variable definitions)?

Describe how JIT affects the Accounting department.

Something you would not expect to see in a just-in-time work environment is

JIT considers people to be a company's most precious resource.

Being able to keep costs low while changing the volume of production is an example of

__________ are groups of workers who are responsible for every aspect of their business.

Consider a workstation that can process 4 units per minute.It takes 10 minutes to receive an order from the previous station.The container size is 10 units.The factory sets safety stock at 20 percent of demand during lead time.How many kanbans are needed for the workstation?

The broad view of JIT is now often termed lean production or lean systems.

External setups can be done while the machine is running.

One of the greatest benefits of JIT would be

JIT production workers

Name three ways that quality at the source includes more than manufacturing.

JIT is a __________ system.

There are two types of Kanban cards,production Kanban and withdrawal Kanban.

The manufacturing process in JIT starts with the final assembly schedule.

What must happen before it is possible to operate successfully with JIT?
