1. Line balancing define and how do you do the line balancing. 2. Productivity IMprovement methods. 3. 7 waste

Question

Accepted Answer

The interview questions are related to line balancing, productivity improvement methods, and 7 waste.

Line balancing is the process of optimizing workloads across a production line to minimize idle time and maximize efficiency.
Productivity improvement methods include lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and Total Quality Management.
The 7 wastes are overproduction, waiting, defects, overprocessing, excess inventory, unnecessary motion, and unused talent.
Line balancing can be done by analyzing the production process, identifying bottlenecks, and redistributing workloads.
Lean manufacturing focuses on eliminating waste and improving efficiency, while Six Sigma aims to reduce defects and variability.
Kaizen involves continuous improvement through small incremental changes, and Total Quality Management emphasizes customer satisfaction and quality control.
To reduce waste, companies can implement strategies such as just-in-time inventory, value stream mapping, and mistake-proofing.
