much

9. Movement of goods or services along the value stream from raw materials

as an input to a production process for subsequent modification or
transformation into a finished good.

reflecting a reading of future financial conditions and goals.

15. Department, facility, machine, or resource already working at its full

capacity and which, therefore, cannot handle any additional demand placed
on it. Also called critical resource.

different settings. Ergonomics applies anatomical, physiological, and
psychological knowledge (called human factors) to work and work
environments in order to reduce or eliminate factors that cause pain or
discomfort.

attributes or qualities.
7. Estimate of expected demand over a specified future period. Also called
forecast demand.

be achieved with the same consumption of resources (money, time, labor,
etc.). It is an important factor in determination of productivity.
9. Work arrangement (or rearrangement) aimed at reducing or overcoming
job dissatisfaction and employee alienation arising from repetitive and
mechanistic tasks. Through job design, organizations try to raise productivity
levels by offering non-monetary rewards such as greater satisfaction from a
sense of personal achievement in meeting the increased challenge and
responsibility of on1e's work. Job enlargement, job enrichment, job rotation,
and job simplification are the various techniques used in a job design
exercise.
10. Non-productive time (during which an employee is still paid) of employees or
machines, or both, due to work stoppage from any cause. Also called idle time,
allowed time, or downtime.
