Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Separating internal and external setups allows for internal setup time to be converted to external setup time. This means that the setup can be done before the production run begins, reducing the overall setup time. This is a key strategy in reducing setup time in lean manufacturing. The other choices, reducing inventory, implementing a Kanban system, and reducing lot sizes, can also be important strategies in lean manufacturing but are not directly related to reducing setup time.
