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 functionality. Moving material, inspecting raw material, and storing finished goods are considered non-value-added activities because they do not directly contribute to the value of the final product. Attaching product components, however, is a value-added activity because it is essential for creating the final product.
