False

10.Question 10

1 point

True

False

Answer 1

1)True. Both 7 steps improvement process as well as DMAIC follow the same framework with slight variations.

2)Customer Importance. Customer priority is used as weighted values.

3)Prioritize possible causes since weights are used in XY matrix to prioritize causes.

4)True.

5)True. This is done to optimize capital through small increments.

6)Motion and waiting. Point of use storage is storing material near work centres which reduces the motion time to bring raw materials as well as waiting Time for the operator.

7)False. Source inspection means performing the inspection at the place where goods are manufactured and has nothing t do with throughput.

8)True

9)False

10)True.
