Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The time spent moving a product from one processing department to the next processing department is a non-value added activity as it does not directly contribute to the transformation of the product into its final form or deliver additional value to the customer. It is always desirable to minimize non-value added activities, as they increase the cost and lead time of the production process without improving the quality or functionality of the product.
