Topic #: 1
[All L4M6 Questions]

Agile Cars Ltd is creating a 'lean' business model which involves receiving deliveries of components only when they are required. Which of the following 'wastes' is being removed from the business?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

This would reduce inventory (holding stock). Inventory is considered a business waste because it costs money to store stuff (e.g. paying the rent on a warehouse, electricity to light it up etc). If you can reduce the need to store materials and components on site- you reduce costs. You also save time because you get deliveries when you need them- you don't need to allow for staff unpacking things, storing them away, then going back to them later when they need them. For more information on the 7 Business Wastes see p.70. This comes up in a couple of modules, so it's worth remembering.

Not sure if just-in-time will work for all parts though.

I think it's more about over-production too.

I’m a bit confused. I thought transportation could also be a waste, but it seems like they’re focusing on what they hold in stock.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe it was about reducing inventory levels. So, I’d go with D.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about over-production being a waste too. Could it be that?

I think this is about inventory waste since they’re only getting components when needed. That sounds like just-in-time delivery.

Okay, let's see. We need a way for the cloud services to communicate transaction information using XML messages asynchronously. That sounds like a job for Azure Queue Storage to me. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

I'm not totally sure, but Call Control doesn't seem right. That feels more related to voice communications.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the requirements and think through the relationships between the entities.
