Standardize product configurations.

Process design with product design.

Adopt a kaizen philosophy.

Implement top-down management controls.

 

 

In setting up a Kanban control system you need to determine the number of kanban card sets needed. If assume the expected demand during lead time is 50 per hour, the safety stock is 20 percent of the demand during lead time, the container size is 4, and the lead time to replenish an order is 8 hours, what number of Kanban card sets is needed?

Which of the following is one of Dr. Eli Goldratt’s rules of production scheduling for optimized production technology?

Multiple Choice

Utilization and activation of a resource are not the same.

Do not allow bottlenecks to govern the flow of the line.

An hour lost at a bottleneck saves an hour for the entire system.

Balance the capacities, not the flows.

The level of utilization of a bottleneck resource is not determined by its own potential but by some other constraint in the system.
