Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 5

A diagram where the physical flows of the parts are mapped onto the shop floor is referred to as muda.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 6

The __________ offers a systematic way to view and analyze process flows.

Accepted Answer

A) Optimized production technology (OPT) 
B) Pull system 
C) Theory of constraints 
D) Progression theory 
A) Optimized production technology (OPT) 
B) Pull system 
C) Theory of constraints 
D) Progression theory
