Across
  1. 2. Smooth, continuous movement of work through a process
  2. 4. The rate of customer demand expressed as time per unit
  3. 6. Material or work between steps waiting to be processed
  4. 10. Tools that make process status, flow, and issues visible at a glance
  5. 11. Business-Necessary but Non-Value-Added work
  6. 12. Producing work based on forecasts rather than demand
  7. 13. Non-value-added activity such as waiting, rework, overproduction, or excess motion
  8. 15. Visual comparison of takt time vs. cycle times at each step
  9. 17. The real place where work is performed and observations occur
  10. 18. The time it takes to complete one unit at a process step
Down
  1. 1. Producing only when the downstream process signals the need
  2. 2. Root-cause questioning technique used in analysis
  3. 3. A map of physical motion to identify wasted movement
  4. 5. A small, focused, rapid improvement event
  5. 7. What the customer is willing to pay for based on their needs and expectations
  6. 8. The documented best-known, repeatable way to perform a task
  7. 9. Total elapsed time from request to delivery
  8. 10. End-to-end visualization of steps, queues, and information flows
  9. 14. The slowest constraint step that limits total throughput
  10. 16. Distributing work evenly so each step has similar load and timing
