Eliminate waste and
1. What is the primary objective of the Just-in-Time ( in-crease eflciency
JIT) philosophy?
-Maximize product variety
-Eliminate waste and increase efficiency
-Increase product customization
-Ensure all equipment runs continuously
2. Which two elements are core components of a JIT sys- -Just in time
manufactur-
tem? (Choose Two) ing
-Total Quality Manage-
-Just-in-time manufacturing ment (TQM)
-Large safety stock reserves
-Total quality management (TQM)
-Long production runs
3. A factory only begins production when a Pull production system
workstation requests parts from the previous
step, ensuring no excess inventory is produced.
This process is best de-scribed as:
-Forward scheduling
-Push production system
-Pull production system
-Infinite loading
4. What tool is commonly used in JIT systems to authorize Kanban card
the movement or production of materials?
-Work breakdown structure
-Kanban card
-Capacity cushion
-REL chart

5. Which two strategies help JIT systems achieve small-lot -Reducing setup
times
production? (Choose Two) -Using general-purpose
equipment
-Reducing setup times
-Storing large safety stock
-Using general-purpose equipment
-Consolidating product variations into larger
batches
Flexible manufacturing
6. A car manufacturer uses a U-shaped work cell
layout where workers can easily perform multiple
tasks and pass materials between stations without
unnecessary movement. This is an example of:
-Infinite loading
-Flexible manufacturing
-Process layout
-Standard costing
7. In JIT systems, why is visibility important? make waste and prob-
lem easily detectable
-To show inventory to customers
-To monitor employee productivity
-To ensure products are visually appealing
-To make waste and problems easily detectable
8. Which of the following best describes the
Eliminating waste and im-
philosophy of JIT?
proving
-Producing large lots to lower unit costs responsiveness to
-Increasing employee specialization customer needs
-Emphasizing long production cycles
