OBLEM E-4 Questions he following represents a portion of a Value Stream Map: Raw Material Process A Delay 0.5 day Process BFinished Goods 6 min/ pc Inventory 12 240 units 300 units The customer asks for daily delivery of 120 units. Use this information to answer the following four questions: 42) What is the total Value Added Time for this process? A. 120 units/ day B. 12 minutes C. 18 minutes D. 18 minutes PLUS 0.5 day 43) What is the total NON-Value Added Time for this process? A. 5 days B. 0.5 days C. 4.5 days D. 540 units If you had to recommend ONE action to improve this process, which of the following would you choose? 44) A. Focus on reducing the Delay time between process steps B. Increase buffer inventory to support reliable delivery C. This is a smooth-running process that requires NO action D. Reduce the Inventory from all sources 45) In this exercise the triangles in the diagram represent A. Value-added steps B. Equivalent processing time C. Total Processing Time D. Non Value-added steps

Answer 1

42) C

Value added time = Process A Time + Process B Time = 12+ 6 = 18 min

43) B

The non-value added time is 0.5 days which is a delay

44) A

The focus should be on reducing delay as it is the non-value added activity

45) D

The triangles are non-value added steps in the entire process
