Question 1: How does "process mapping" help identify and eliminate waste in manufacturing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It complicates decision-making by creating too much detail and requires constant updates

Process mapping introduces overhead by requiring frequent reassessments of production workflows

Process mapping visually represents workflows, making it easier to identify inefficiencies and eliminate waste

Process mapping is unnecessary if production processes are already optimized

Question 2: Which Lean concept seeks to reduce waste by balancing work across processes in a continuous flow?

Which action should you take?

Poka-Yoke

Kanban

Heijunka

Jidoka

Question 3: How does "flow" improvement contribute to continuous improvement in manufacturing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Flow improvements increase bottlenecks by introducing excess movement and unnecessary rearrangements

It is unnecessary when materials already move efficiently through the production process

Improving flow ensures smooth material movement and reduces delays, leading to higher efficiency and reduced waste

Flow improvement complicates the process by requiring constant adjustments to workstations and processes

Question 4: How does "5S" contribute to waste reduction in manufacturing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

5S complicates manufacturing by forcing a rigid structure on workflows and operational flexibility

5S organizes the workspace, reduces clutter, and ensures that tools and materials are easily accessible, minimizing waste

It is irrelevant in environments where tools and materials are already well-organized and easily accessible

5S introduces inefficiency by requiring unnecessary time spent on organizing and cleaning

Question 5: Which waste reduction strategy is most effective for minimizing energy consumption in a manufacturing plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reducing the complexity of production schedules

Improving equipment maintenance and energy-efficient processes

Increasing production volumes

Implementing JIT inventory management

Question 6: How does "Value Stream Mapping" (VSM) help identify and eliminate waste in manufacturing processes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

VSM complicates the process by focusing on a high-level view, neglecting individual bottlenecks

VSM increases complexity by introducing additional steps in the mapping process

It is unnecessary if the process already flows efficiently and waste is minimal

VSM visualizes the entire flow of materials and information, helping to identify non-value-added activities and inefficiencies
