1. 7 S in Operation –
Sort – It identifies and segregates the wanted products (Value added) items and unwanted items
(Non-Value added) at the place of work
Set in order – It includes arranging and labeling items to organize and assist in the ease of finding.
Shine – This involves cleaning and taking care of equipment, dusting, filth removal and inspecting
items for abnormalities. It also involves maintainece of equipment
Standardize – It systematizes the process and ensures cleanliness and orderliness for the items
to ensure every employee follows the set rules and contributes.
Sustain – It denotes commitment, discipline to maintaining orderliness in the work place.
Safety – It ensures protection against any physical, social, financial, occupational or any other
consequences or type of failure that may lead to damage, error, accident.
Spirit – It boosts willingness of team to cooperate and ensure implementation of the 7s principles.
2. Write about different types of down time in OEEs –
Defect – It is the set of products that do not meet the desired specification. E.g. poor quality, unmet
specifications, deployed tools.
Overproduction – When the company produces mire products that contributes to increased
inventory holding cist, labor, facility cost
Waiting – Involves delay in production flow process. It leads to delays, unbalances workloads and
poor quality materials
Non-Utilizing Talent – Caused due to unskilled workers, idle work d=force or untrained staff
Transporting – Materials taking long or complicated routes between operation and handling.
Inventory – Increase in manufacturing costs by occupying extra floor space, adding to
maintainece costs and risking product degradation.
Motion waste – Excessive movements that exposes workers to risks or injuries during operations.
Overexertion also is a result if motion waste
Excess processing – It occurs when the operation depends highly on labor force, poor
maintainece, excess operational capacity and redundant processes.

3. Define Defect and difference between repair and re-work –

Defects – Defects are a type of waste in Lean manufacturing where in the products or services
deviates from the promised specifications or customer requirements.
Repair is the act of restoring the functional capabilities of an article and with minor/ major
defects. It changes the unacceptable conditions of the equipment and sets to meet the needed
specifications.
Rework is the act of reprocessing non-complying articles through the use of original or equivalent
processing in order to assure full compliance of the articles with the needed specifications.
4. Difference between CP and CPKs in Six sigma –
CP and CPKs are the process capability index used to measure the ability of a particular process
to produce the output in a specified time.
The CP index does not consider the placement of the process with respect to the limit of
specification. It is off-center and the simplest measure of process incapacity.
The CPK index considers the centering of a particular process distribution. It measures the
variations between the target and one specification. It is also called as Process Capability Index.
