Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-value added time refers to any step in the manufacturing process that does not directly contribute to the overall quality, functionality, or value of the final product. Cutting the wood (A), assembling the bookshelves (B), and staining the bookshelves (D) are all necessary steps in the manufacturing process that add value to the product. However, moving the bookshelves from one department to another (C) does not add any value to the product and therefore, is considered non-value added time.
