    • What is the core philosophy of lean production?
      Deliver maximum value
    • Reducing or eliminating non-value-adding activities is a principle called waste
    • What is the term for ongoing efforts to improve processes in lean production?
      Kaizen
    • Ensuring quality standards throughout the production process is known as quality at the source.
    • Identifying and mapping all activities in creating a product or service is called value
    • Order the five key principles of lean production
      1️⃣ Value stream mapping
      2️⃣ Waste elimination
      3️⃣ Continuous improvement (Kaizen)
      4️⃣ Pull production
      5️⃣ Quality at the source
    • What is the purpose of value stream mapping in lean production?
      Identify all activities
    • Waste elimination in lean production focuses on reducing non-value-adding activities
    • What does continuous improvement (Kaizen) aim to achieve in lean production?
      Ongoing process improvement
    • Pull production involves producing only what is needed by customers.
    • Ensuring quality standards throughout the production process is called quality at the source
    • What is the core philosophy of lean production?
      Deliver maximum value
    • The principles of lean production help businesses deliver maximum value while minimizing waste and using minimal resources.
    • What is the definition of value in lean production?

    • What is the core philosophy of lean production?
      Minimal resources, maximum value
    • The five key principles of lean production include value stream mapping and continuous improvement.
    • In lean production, understanding customer needs and wants is crucial to defining value
    • Stages in value stream mapping
      1️⃣ Identify activities
      2️⃣ Map flow
      3️⃣ Analyse and improve
    • What is the primary difference between a pull system and a push system in production?
      Demand-driven vs forecast-driven
    • Pursuing perfection in lean production involves continuous improvement and measurable goals
