Question 2 Total Quality and Lean Management (3+2=5 marks) a) Many organizations have been certified to ISO 9000 Quality Management System (QMS). Why would they want to implement the QMS? Briefly explain the key elements of ISO 9000 implementation. b) A machinery production flow is shown as below. Comment briefly on the flow base according to Lean Production System Principles and any consequential problems for the production flow.

Bhojraj Fabricators Inc. machines metal parts for the automotive industry. Under the traditional manufacturing approach, the parts are machined through two processes: milling and finishing. Parts are produced in batch sizes of 30 parts. A part requires 7 minutes in milling and 9 minutes in finishing. The move time between the two operations for a complete batch is 4 minutes. Under the lean philosophy, the part is produced in a cell that includes both the milling and finishing operations. The operating time is unchanged; however, the batch size is reduced to 2 parts and the move time is eliminated. Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the traditional and lean manufacturing methods. If required, round percentages to one decimal place.
