MCQ 8

The document discusses key concepts in lean manufacturing including value stream mapping, kaizen, flow kaizen, process kaizen, just-in-time (JIT), kanban systems, and lead time. It provides examples of Toyota's use of value stream mapping and defines kaizen as continual incremental improvement. The questions and answers cover characteristics of JIT systems, what is not a characteristic of a kanban system, and which diagram is not part of value stream mapping.
