     Research has shown that if you invest in which of the following activities, you will end up with an attitude of continuous and constant improvement.

     a. Respect every individual b. Focus on the process c. Seek perfection d. Look out for your own team e. All of the above f. Only a, b, and c

Answer 1

1)The correct answer is capacity since capacity is the measure of how many jobs a work centre can handle in a given time frame.

2) Continuous flow has the highest level of volume. It more used for commodity production.

3)The correct answer is option c) implement lean techniques to reduce waste at the bottleneck. The first option is a wrong statement since the theory of constraint is used to identify and eliminate the constraints. Option b is not correct since constraints must be eliminated or reduced and process variations is not necessarily the cause as the process can be correct but there may be other causes like material flow.

4)The answer is True since all processes must have some constraints.

5)The correct answer is option b. determine bottleneck impact since the impact is already known and is the outcome of the bottleneck while bottleneck analysis is used to remove the bottleneck.

6)The correct option is option e. since all of the points are required for continuous improvements.
