Cycle time - CORRECT ANSWER- the average time between the start of production of one unit and the
start of production of the next unit of production



lead time or sojourn time - CORRECT ANSWER- the time it takes for one unit to move through the
system beginning to end



processing - CORRECT ANSWER- being worked by a resource



takt time - CORRECT ANSWER- the rate at which a finished product needs to be completed in order to
meet customer demand



value added - CORRECT ANSWER- a processing step which transforms raw materials or work in progress
into a more valuable good and service to customers



workstation - CORRECT ANSWER- work area that is set up to perform a processing step in the
manufacturing process



work in process (WIP) - CORRECT ANSWER- is the product between the start and end points of a
product routing

,work in process (WIP) does not include - CORRECT ANSWER- Raw Material Inventory (RMI) or Finished
Goods Inventory (FGI)

what is an assembly line? - CORRECT ANSWER- An assembly line is a manufacturing process (often
called a progressive assembly) in which parts (usually interchangeable parts) are added as the semi-
finished assembly moves from workstation to workstation where the parts are added in sequence until
the final assembly is produced



bottleneck - CORRECT ANSWER- - A bottleneck is a point of congestion in a production system that
occurs when parts arrive faster than they can be processed

- A bottleneck has no idle time



capacity - CORRECT ANSWER- the upper limit for throughput in a production process

muda - CORRECT ANSWER- "futility; uselessness; wastefulness"



7 types of muda - CORRECT ANSWER- transport, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, over

specialization of labor - CORRECT ANSWER- minimize skilled labor



interchangeable parts - CORRECT ANSWER- components made to close tolerances



workflow principle - CORRECT ANSWER- "Place the tools and the men in the sequence of the operation
so that each component part shall travel the least possible distance while in the process of finishing." -
Henry Ford



line pacing - CORRECT ANSWER- Workers must complete their tasks within the cycle time of the line



factors favoring the use of assembly lines - CORRECT ANSWER- - High or medium demand for product

- Identical or similar products

- Total work content can be divided into work elements

- It is technologically impossible or economically

infeasible to automate the assembly process



hard product variety - CORRECT ANSWER- products differ substantially
