Here is  todays lean question:

The second part of Jidoka includes separating the man from the machine. What is the goal of the separation of man from the machine?


A. Reduction of the number of employees required in a process.
B.
Building processes that are capable of making intelligent decisions and shutting down automatically.
C. Reduction of errors by reducing the number of humans in contact with a process.
D. Allowing humans to focus on more complex activities.
 
Answer: B – The goal of the separation of man from the machine in Jidoka is to build processes that are capable of making intelligent decisions and shutting down automatically. The thought process is that it is better to stop a machine at the first sign of trouble than to keep on producing the problem and generate more waste.
