    1. Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing aims to eliminate waste in production by ensuring inputs only arrive when needed, not through over-production. Toyota successfully implemented JIT. 2. Key components of quality management systems involve everyone's continual improvement through use of data and knowledge. Kanban and JIT are both pull-type signaling systems that release materials for production based on customer demand. 3. The 5S methodology creates a clean and orderly workplace to immediately expose abnormalities. It involves sorting, setting in order, shining through cleaning, standardizing processes, and sustaining the system.

    Costing MCQs - 4

    1. JIT does not believe in -


    a. Quality
    b. Over-production
    c. Human relations
    d. All of the above
    Ans. b
    Solution:
    Just-in-time (JIT)​ aims to ensure that ​inputs into the production process only arrive when they are
    needed. ​The objectives of JIT are two-fold: firstly, elimination of waste in production; secondly, improved
    productivity. Hence, it does not believe in over-production.

    2. Just-in-Time was successfully implemented by


    a. Toyota
    b. Honda
    c. Suzuki
    d. Volkswagen
    Ans. a
    Solution:
    Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing​, also known as just-in-time production or the ​Toyota Production System
    (TPS), is a methodology aimed primarily at reducing times within the production system as well as response
    times from suppliers and to customers. Its origin and​ development was in Japan​, largely in the 1960s and
    1970s and ​particularly at Toyota.

    3. Which of the following terms is more closely related to identifying and correcting problems as they occur?
    a. Kaizen.
    b. Kanban.
    c. Plan-do-check-action.
    d. Jidoka.
    Ans. d
    Solution:
    Jidoka​ is one of the two pillars of the Toyota Production System along with just-in-time. ​Jidoka​ highlights
    the causes of problems because ​work stops immediately when a problem first occurs​. This leads to
    improvements in the processes that build in quality by eliminating the root causes of defects.

    4. ​What does the term ​kaizen​ mean when applied to quality?


    a. Maintain a steady flow
    b. Quality is everyone's job
    c. Continuous improvement
    d. Mutual dependence
    Ans. c
    Solution:
    Kaizen is at the core of both the Toyota Production System and Lean manufacturing as it spurs continuously
    identifying areas of improvement while involving workers from the front line all the way up to the CEO. The
    practice of​ Kaizen focuses on small incremental changes​ that can be made relatively quickly that will
    eventually lead to large and noticeable improvements over time. Kaizen works through teamwork and
    communication to eliminate wastes and deliver high-quality products while continuously looking for
    improvements in processes.
    5. Which of the following are key components of a Total Quality Management system?
    a. Individual responsibility, incremental improvement, use of raw data
    b. Collective responsibility, continual improvement, use of raw data
    c. Group responsibility, staged improvement, knowledge
    d. Involves everyone, continual improvement, use of data and knowledge
    Ans. d
    Solution:
    The key features of TQM are full employee engagement and participation, continual improvement and
    extensive use of knowledge, information and data.

    6. Which among the following is a pull type signaling system?


    a. Just in time
    b. Kanban
    c. both a. and b.
    d. none of the above
    Ans. c
    Solution:
    Production control system decides flow of work in organization depending upon pull or push system.
    Pull system:​ In this system, material is released for production only on customer's demand.
    Push system:​ In this system, material is released for production as soon as customer's orders are
    processed. Production is not based on actual demand.

    1) Just-In-Time
    - JIT is a pull type signaling system. In this system, production originates only when an order is received
    - The main principle of JIT is to produce when and what is needed. It also considers the quantity needed.
    - JIT (Just-In-Time) aims at eliminating wastage of labour, time and cost of excessive inventory.

    2) Kanban
    - Kanban is a pull type signaling system. In this system, material is released for production only on
    customer's demand.
    - Kanban system is suitable for lean production. According to this system, demand driven systems have
    faster turn around in production and have lower inventory levels.

    7. ​Which Japanese company is widely credited with the development of such manufacturing techniques as
    flexible manufacturing, Kaizen and Kanban?
    a. Honda
    b. Toyota
    c. Nissan
    d. Mazda
    Ans. b

    8. Which of the following is the first phase of 5S?


    a. Seiketsu
    b. Seiri
    c. Seiso
    d. Seiton
    Ans. b
    Solution:
    Sort is seiri and refers to removing all unnecessary items from workplace. There are five 5S phases. They
    can be translated from Japanese as​ ‘sort’, ‘set in order’, ‘shine’, ‘standardize’ and ‘sustain’.
    9. 5S is a method of creating a clean and orderly workplace that exposes waste and makes ___________
    immediately visible.
    a. bad attitudes
    b. abnormalities
    c. poor employees
    d. level loading
    Ans. b
    Solution:
    5S is a method of creating a clean and orderly workplace that exposes waste and makes abnormalities
    immediately visible. ​5S is a systematic form of visual management utilizing everything from floor tape to
    operations manuals. It is not just about cleanliness or organization; it is also about maximizing efficiency and
    profit. 5S gets its name from the five Japanese words, Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke, which
    translate in English to Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.

    10. Which phase of 5 S are you in when you clean machines, windows, floors, etc.
    a. Sort
    b. Set-in-order
    c. Shine
    d. Standardize
    e. Sustain
    Ans. c
    Solution:
    The​ Shine stage of 5S focuses on cleaning up the work area​, which means sweeping, mopping, dusting,
    wiping down surfaces, putting tools and materials away, etc.
    In addition to basic cleaning, Shine also involves performing regular maintenance on equipment and
    machinery. Planning for maintenance ahead of time means businesses can catch problems and prevent
    breakdowns. That means less wasted time and no loss of profits related to work stoppages.
