If the scrap levels have reduced from 30% to 25%, what is your assessment of the Lean status of the project?
OPTIONS
- Objectives met
- Not met
- Need to study the business aspects
- None of the above
ANSWER
Need to study the business aspects
EXPLANATION
Correct answer: C) Although a reduction in scrap levels has been accomplished, any decision on whether the process is Lean or not can only be taken after the financial impacts have been studied. 30% to 25% may still signify some kind of waste lurking around, but that doesn’t mean it is a failure, so c is correct.
