Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maggie's business has greater productivity than Jan's business because her workers can produce 12 garments per hour while Jan's workers can only produce 10. It is not accurate to assume that Maggie's employees are harder working or that Jan's employees have difficulty assembling the garments without further evidence. There is also no information to suggest that one operations manager is more effective than the other.
