Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It provides a visual representation of each step in the production process to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks

It focuses on improving worker skills without changing production processes

It reduces the number of machines used in production

It eliminates the need for inventory management

Question 2: How does the use of Energy Management Systems (EMS) contribute to manufacturing efficiency in automotive production facilities?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By optimizing energy usage, reducing costs, and enhancing overall manufacturing efficiency through monitoring and control of energy flows

By solely focusing on reducing labor costs

By increasing energy consumption to boost production

By eliminating the need for energy conservation measures

Question 3: In automotive production planning, how does the use of "safety stock" help mitigate risks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It minimizes the need for quality checks and reduces production errors

It provides a buffer against unexpected demand or supply chain disruptions, ensuring production continues smoothly

It eliminates the need for real-time inventory tracking and forecasting

It reduces the amount of raw material purchased, leading to lower costs

Question 4: How does "just-in-time" (JIT) inventory management optimize production processes in automotive manufacturing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By increasing stock levels to ensure that production can continue uninterrupted

By focusing solely on reducing labor costs without considering material efficiency

By ensuring that materials arrive exactly when needed, reducing inventory costs and waste

By increasing the number of suppliers to ensure material availability

Question 5: How do you ensure that the entire production process is aligned with customer demand in an automotive plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing product variety to match limited demand

By using demand forecasting tools, adjusting production schedules dynamically, and maintaining flexible inventory systems

By ignoring demand forecasts and focusing only on production quotas

By focusing solely on push production without considering pull demand

Question 6: How do you manage supplier quality to ensure components meet automotive industry standards?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing on internal quality and ignoring supplier performance

By selecting suppliers based solely on cost

By minimizing supplier interaction to reduce complexity

By implementing supplier quality audits, setting clear quality expectations, and monitoring performance
