LEAN BRONZE CERTIFICATION
QUESTIONS & 100% VERIFIED
CORRECT ANSWERS GUARANTEED A+
j Continuous Flow - high production volume, highly standardized commodity products
Jidoka - automatically stopping the process when something is wrong and then fixing the problems on
the line itself as they occur
Autonomous Maintenance - An improvement process focused on improving the condition of a machine
and then identifying, standardizing and training on operator maintenance tasks
Andon light - Signal for a need or problem with equipment or process. Example of visual management
A3 document - This helps to capture and share knowledge in a structured way. Its commonly used as a
problem-solving tool. This should also be used as a coaching tool between a coach and a learner.
Reference Managing to Learn by John Shook.
Empowered Employees - The heart and soul of a lean organization according to Masaaki Imai (Gemba
Kaizen)
Sort - The first step of 5S
Highland Park - The Ford Factory that housed the Model T production
consensus - A general agreement by team members. Not everyone may fully agree with the idea but no
one is openly opposed and they can "live with it".
, Goal of Hoshin Kanri - To align the tactical actions and improvements to the strategic objectives of the
business. This is a layered process which should be flowed from the higher level group and then down to
the next level.
cross-functional team - Employees from different areas coming together to complete a task or solve a
problem
Sequential pull system - A type of system is used when product variation is high and it doesn't make
sense to keep an inventory of each product. With this type of system, we control the overall inventory in
the system by only releasing when a trigger is created.
interchangeable parts - According to Dennis (Lean Production Simplified), the greatest enabler of mass
production
Standardized Work & Jidoka - "Separating Man from Machine" describes the ability to have one operator
run multiple machines. This is enabled by
Standardized Work - Route of the operator is clear and documented
Little's law - The relationship between work in process (WIP), throughput and lead time
PQCDSM - A core set of goals and measures that we are tracking on a daily basis.
Value Stream - The entire sequence of work required to bring a product from raw material to delivery
Theory of Constraints - "The Goal" by Goldratt popularized this concept which focuses on bottleneck
management
Joseph Juran - This person introduced the Pareto principle as it applies to quality control
PERT Calculations - (Optimistic + 4 x Most Likely + Pessimistic) / 6
