Which file includes a list of the single-level parts and quantities required to put a parent together?
Answer: Product structure file
The product structure file contains a list of the single-level components and quantities needed to assemble a parent.
In order to keep the time buffer queue full, the operation that manages the work feeding the bottleneck must run at a pace equal to the bottleneck's throughput.
Answer: Gateway operation
The operation that controls the work feeding the bottleneck and must operate at a rate equal to the output of the bottleneck so the time buffer queue is maintained is known as a "drum" operation.
Which file includes a list of the single-level parts and quantities required to put a parent together?
Answer: Product structure file
The file that contains a list of the single-level components and quantities needed to assemble a parent is called the "product structure file".
The following terms describe a facility, function, department, or resource whose capacity is equal to or lower than the demand placed upon it:
Answer: Bottleneck
A facility, function, department, or resource whose capacity is equal to or less than the demand placed upon it is known as a bottleneck.
Actual output divided by standard output is expressed as follows:
Answer: Efficiency
The ratio of actual output to standard output is defined as efficiency.
Which of the following factors may be predicted using the capability index?
Answer: Process variability
Capability index is useful to predict process variability. It is a statistical measure of a process's ability to produce output within specification limits (Upper Specification Limit - USL and Lower Specification Limit - LSL) based on the process mean and standard deviation. It is commonly used to determine whether a process is capable of meeting customer requirements and is calculated as the ratio of the width of the specification limits to the spread of the process data.
What is a Hoshin planning objective?
Answer: Target the critical few problems and assign resources to remove barriers for improvement
Hoshin planning (Hoshin Kanri) is a strategic deployment method focused on the "critical few" breakthrough objectives, concentrating resources on removing barriers to those priorities. The other options describe operational or process-level improvement work, or trying to solve as many problems as possible—the opposite of Hoshin's deliberate focus on a small number of vital goals.
