Question 5: Which of the following is true about the 'Pull System' in Lean?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Production is driven by customer demand

Inventory levels are maximized

Products are produced in large batches

Production is based on forecasted demand

Question 6: How does "defects" lead to waste in lean manufacturing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Defects do not contribute to waste if quality control is properly integrated into the production process

Defects result in rework, material wastage, and increased processing time, reducing overall efficiency

Defects only increase waste in low-volume or custom manufacturing processes

It introduces inefficiencies but can be easily mitigated with automated quality checks
