CPIM CPIM-8.0 Passing Score

Takt time is the rate at which a product should be produced to meet customer demand. It is calculated by dividing the available production time by the customer demand. In this case, the available production time is 10 hours per day, and the customer demand is 2,400 units per day. Converting 10 hours to minutes gives us 600 minutes of production time per day. So, takt time = 600 minutes / 2400 units = 0.25 minutes per unit. However, this is not one of the answer choices, so we need to look for more information or context.

According to the CPIM Part 1 Study Guide, takt time is usually rounded up to the nearest whole number to allow for some buffer time and to simplify the calculation. Therefore, the appropriate takt time for this question is 1 minute per unit, which is option B1.

A problem statement is a concise description of an issue to be addressed or a condition to be improved upon. It identifies the gap between the current state and the desired state of a process or a system. A good problem statement should include measurements that help describe the problem, such as the magnitude, frequency, location, and impact of the problem. These measurements can help quantify the problem and provide a baseline for improvement. The other options are not essential for a problem statement, but rather for the subsequent steps of problem-solving, such as selecting tools, forming teams, and assigning responsibilities.

Pareto analysis is a technique for separating input factors with the greatest impact on an outcome and prioritizing them based on their scores. It is based on the 80-20 rule, which states that 80% of a project’s benefit or problems can be achieved by doing 20% of the work or fixing 20% of the causes. Pareto analysis helps to identify the top portion of causes that need to be addressed to resolve the majority of problems. Pareto Analysis - Overview, Limitations, Pareto Diagram References: Pareto analysis - Wikipedia, What Is Pareto Analysis?
