BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a two-part prompt about lean systems and part commonality, asking which outcome is increased by part commonality.
Option A: inventory. In lean systems, increasing part commonality can reduce variety, which often helps lower setup times and inventory levels, but saying it directly 'increases inventory' is misleading. Lean emphasizes reducing waste, including excess inventory, so this statement is not consistent with the core goal of part commonality.
Option B: the number of deliveries needed. While common parts can streamline logistics, increasing part commonality does not inherently increase the number of deliveries; in fact, it can reduce the number of deliveries by consolidating parts. Therefore this option misstates the usual impact of standardization.
Option C: the number of suppliers needed. Part commonality tends to consolidate sourcing to fewer parts, which can reduce supplier counts, not increase them. This option contradicts the typical effect of standardization on supplier base.
Option D: repeatability. By standardizing parts across products or processes, lean systems improve repeatability—there is less variation in what is produced and how it is produced. This aligns with lean goals of consistency, easier forecasting, and smoother process workflows. Therefore this option correctly identifies the intended outcome of part commonality.
In summary, evaluating each choice against lean principles shows that only repeatability aligns with the purpose of increasing part commonality, while the others misstate the typical consequences or contradict lean efficiency aims.
