Scheduled maintenance is any repair and upkeep work performed within a set timeframe. It details when given maintenance tasks are performed and by whom. Scheduled maintenance may occur at repeating intervals or in response to a work request.
"Overhauling of machine" means that the machine is regularly checked and corrupted parts are replaced if needed.
"Cleaning of tank" and "Oil changes" also occur at time intervals as scheduled So the correct answer is "Repair signage damage from a recent storm"

According to Hines and Rich, value stream refers to specific parts of the firms that actually add value to the specific product or service under consideration. XYZ Ltd is mapping the value stream by analysing the value- adding activities that contribute to their most important product.
Postponement is a business strategy which maximizes possible benefit and minimizes risk by delaying further investment into a product or service until the last possible moment. An example of this strategy is Dell Computers' build-to-order online store. One of the earliest references to the concept was in a paper by Zinn and Bowersox in the Journal of Business Logistics. They highlighted five types: Labelling, Packaging, Assembly, Manufacturing and Time postponements.
Kanban (##) (signboard or billboard in Japanese) is a scheduling system for lean manufacturing and just-in- time manufacturing (JIT). Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, developed kanban to improve manufacturing efficiency. Kanban is one method to achieve JIT. The system takes its name from the cards that track production within a factory. For many in the automotive sector, kanban is known as the "Toyota nameplate system".
Put simply, silo working occurs when several departments or groups within that organisation do not want to share information or knowledge with other individuals they work with.

It would be really convenient if we could just hand our products directly to the customers, but that's not possible. Packaging needs to be done for several reasons. Here are some of the most prominent ones:
1. Safety: Packaging is used to keep your product safe from external factors. It also prevents human tampering. If you want to sell fruit juice, you just can't hand it over to customers. It should be packaged in something, like a stand up pouch.
2. Brand visibility: You provide the best product in your category and you want your customers to remember that. How else will you do that without using the right kind of creative food packaging?
3. Bundling it together: If you want to sell an ounce of something, you need to create a packet so that the right amount is bundled together.
4. Theft prevention: If you sell your product loose, there are chances that the retailer doesn't give the right amount to the customer and saves some part for himself. There are other cases too where theft can be done in the absence of packaging.
Apart from these four, there are many other reasons why you should package your products.

It is important to ensure safe working in storage facilities, and access to higher shelves or racking presents a challenge. Lifting at full reach becomes a problem at relative low weight. There can also be danger for other workers who are around someone working at height, from the movement of equipment or dropping stock from a height.
Scissor platforms are used in high-roof warehouses to gain access to lighting, high-racking units and sections of wall and roof.
ORDER PICKER is manual or powered device - some with ride-on capability and some without. This allow for low-level, medium-level and high-level picking of various items. Many are equipped with forks to allow transfer capability of larger picked boxes. Higher-level and narrow or very narrow -aisle versions have the ability to elevate operators on the front platform to higher racking to pick items.
Grabs are designed to hold stock either width-wise or from above. These are either specific devices designed for grabbing materials or are available as an accessory to forklift trucks.

Carousels are space-efficient, rotating devices which allow access to a large range of product from a single location. Designs are variable, with carousels rotating horizontally or vertically until the required items can be retrieved.
Stacker-cranes are designed for the automated storage and retrieval of unit loads, in high-bay warehouses.
They travel in aisles equipped with guide rails, electrical supply, data transmission and control systems. To ensure the storage and retrieval functions, the stacker-crane carries out three types of movement : long-travel, lifting and picking.

Possible solutions to the high irregular or seasonal demand problems are listed below:
* Take advantage of the height of the warehouse
- Mezzanine floor
- High racking system (increase storage capacity but require high-reach material handling equip-ment)
* Eliminate dead stock or inventory
* Improve material flow
* Improve storage location method
* Consider using aisle space during demand peak
* Narrow aisles between racks (require narrow handling equipment)
* Carousel-type storage system
* Auto-storage and retrievals system (ASRS)
