The diagram below records one operator's movement during a single production cycle at a supplier. What does it show?

Excess operator motion, which can be reduced by relocating the stations used together

Excess overprocessing at the stations, which can be reduced by removing a process step

Excess transportation of material, which can be reduced by using a powered conveyor

Excess waiting at each station, which can be reduced by adding buffer stock to the cell

What will this free 25-question quiz tell me?

It will give you a quick indication of how comfortable you are with CSQP-style concepts, calculations and workplace scenarios. More importantly, the explanations will help you identify the topics and question types that need further study.

Are the questions aligned with the ASQ CSQP Body of Knowledge?

Q1.The diagram below records one operator's movement during a single production cycle at a supplier.

What does it show?
- A.Excess overprocessing at the stations, which can be reduced by removing a process step
- B.Excess operator motion, which can be reduced by relocating the stations used together✓ Correct answer
- C.Excess transportation of material, which can be reduced by using a powered conveyor
- D.Excess waiting at each station, which can be reduced by adding buffer stock to the cell
Explanation
A spaghetti diagram traces the movement of a person. The repeated crossings show motion waste, and the countermeasure is to move the stations used together closer, so the path shortens.

Transportation is the primary foil, and the two wastes are constantly confused. Transportation is unnecessary movement of material between locations, which a conveyor addresses. Choosing it here would lead to installing equipment that does nothing about the operator walking, which is what the diagram actually records.
