A cоnsumer electrоnics mаnufаcturer suffers frоm long production leаd times, high work-in-process (WIP) inventories, and excessive material transport distances. The facility currently utilizes a functional plant layout with large batch processing and push scheduling. Part A: Identify the specific forms of Lean waste (Muda) present in this plant layout. (4 pts) Part B: Detail how reconfiguring linear batch operations into U-shaped manufacturing cells and implementing a Kanban pull system reduces WIP and flow time. (3 pts) Part C: Explain how applying the 6-Step SMED framework enables smaller lot sizing without suffering capacity loss from setup overhead. (3 pts)
