Question

To explain the analogous relationship between the trail and the hike to the plant and inventory Alex makes the following statement: On the trail I can tell everyone to hurry up, or I can tell Ron to slow down. In the plant, when departments get behind and WIP inventory starts building, people are shifted around, put on overtime, and the whip starts to crack. Product moves out the door and inventories start down again. We always hurry up or run; we never slow down or stop. Workers sitting idle are taboo. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In industry, inventory buildups are cancelled with increased sales and marketing activities, which attract rewards and punishments. This is why it is always a taboo to observe idle workers. Idle workers cost the entity much in expenses. Workers are employed based on productivity and profitability indexes. There is no business entity that employs workers for the fun of employment.
