Based on this​ analysis, a large portion of product cost relates to direct material. Managers should determine whether the direct labor can be automated with machines. A few other ways management can reduce costs is to reduce the number of setups and the cost per setup because producing in small lots increase the setup and shipping costs. True or false?
