Lean production processes should be organized around flow. Which tool is best for performing this type of analysis?
  1. The 5S method.
  2. Error proofing.
  3. Quality function deployment.
  4. Value-stream mapping.
Explanation
Answer: D - Lean production processes should be organized around flow, and the best tool for performing this type of analysis is value-stream mapping. A value stream is all of the actions required to change raw materials into a product delivered to the customer. The map separates the value-added activities of a system from the non-value-added activities. The non-value-added activities are opportunities for possible improvement within the system. The value stream shows the process flow from order to delivery.
