Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-value-added activities are those that do not add value to the product from the perspective of the customer and could potentially be eliminated without affecting the product's quality. Transfer of chairs from the assembly line to the staining facility and storage of completed bookcases in inventory are examples of non-value-added activities because they do not directly contribute to the value of the final product.
