LEAN Six Sigma Yellow Belt.Final Test 2026\2027.
What is 'muda'?
It means waste in Japanese
What is "DOWNTIME"?
Defects
Overproduction
Waiting
Non-Utilized Talent
Transportation
Inventory
Motion
Extra-Processing
Is receiving the wrong order a defect?
Yes, it is a defect of a process.
What is Overproduction?
Making more, earlier, or faster than the next process needs it.
What is Waiting?
The most prevalent waste. Involves eating for man machine, materials, information etc.
What is non-utilized talent?
Not utilizing people's experience, skills, knowledge, or creativity.
What is Touches?
This refers to Transportation waste. The unnecessary movement of materials around an
organization. This leads to more opportunities for errors. This can include communication
like emails.
What is Inventory waste?
includes any materials or supplies in excess of the appropriate quantity at the appropriate
time. This leads to liabilities, greater risk of theft, loss, damage, or obsolescence.
What is the waste of motion?
, LEAN Six Sigma Yellow Belt.Final Test 2026\2027.
The waste or people moving around. Workstation analysis works with optimizing the motion
of an individual.
What is Excessive Processing?
Any effort that doesn't add value to the product or service from the customer's perspective.
Examples include; Re-work loops or work-arounds, redundant process steps, extra fields
requiring unused information, multiple signatures, unnecessary completion of templates,
forms or documents.
What are the four things you can do to waste?
Eliminate the cause of waste, Simplify the process creating waste, Streamline any
complicated process, and minimize waste being created.
What is DMAIC?
Define
Measure
Analyze
Improve
Control
DMAIC is used to find the root cause of problems. It is not necessary for obvious problems.
Use when problem cause is not clear.
When should DMAIC be used?
When there is a problem and the root cause is unknown.
When the right solution to solve a problem is unknown because the root cause is unknown
When the stakes are high, and we need to be absolutely sure that the solution implemented
solves the problem.
When a persistent problem exists, multiple solutions have been tried, but non have solved
the problem. This is most likely because the root cause is unknown.
Define the scope of DMAIC in each phase.
