Question
Chapter 6, Problem 4DQ
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: A service component or a process of manufacturing that is identifiable needs to be determined and the current state value stream map portraying the information and material flows of the subject picked needs to be sketched.
Concept Introduction: Value stream mapping is one of the lean techniques related to manufacturing processes. Under this technique, we conduct analysis, make the design and manage the information and materials flow that are required for the making of a product, as required by our customer.

If the lead time for an item is exactly five days, the demand is a constant four units per day, and the shipment container contains two units, how many kanban card sets would be needed?

- Background: The Toyota Production System (TPS) was developed by the Toyota Motor Corporation in the 1950s as a way to improve productivity and efficiency in their manufacturing processes. The system is based on two main principles: Just-in-Time (JIT) production and Jidoka. JIT production involves producing only what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed. Jidoka is a system of detecting and correcting problems in the manufacturing process as they occur. In the 1970s, Toyota's TPS began to attract attention from other companies who were interested in improving their own manufacturing processes. One of the first companies to adopt the TPS was Vicunha, a Brazilian textile manufacturer. Initiatives and Process Improvement Methods: Vicunha had been struggling with high inventory levels, long lead times, and poor quality. The company's management decided to adopt the TPS and worked closely with Toyota to implement the system. The implementation involved the following…arrow_forwardWhat term refers to the optimization of value-adding activities and elimination of nonvalue-adding activities that are part of a value stream?arrow_forwardNeed to know how many components need to be ordered to have enough to produce a sufficient number of circuit board products to meet the customer order.arrow_forward
