This statement is true. When the demand rate is higher than the service capacity, a backlog may occur, leading to longer waiting times or delays in the process. In contrast, when the demand rate is lower than the process capacity, the process can handle the workload efficiently without any backlog. Therefore, the stability of a process depends on the balance between the rate of arrival or demand rate and the process capacity.
