Question

Sayuri's Asian Café needs to make potstickers faster, so Sayuri buys a new machine to speed production, and the team starts using it on Day 4. Sayuri tracks production over the course of seven days. Which of these statements summarizes how the machine affects productivity?
a. It initially slows production, but then production improves greatly.
b. It initially slows production, but then production returns to its normal rate.
c. It initially speeds up production, but then production returns to its normal rate.
d. It initially speeds up production, but then production slows down again.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. It initially slows production, but then production improves greatly.

Explanation:

Sayuri's Asian Cafe's purchase of a new machine is to expand the production of potstickers. Initially, the new purchase will stall production process in the first few days due to the arrangements and potential testing for viability and also safe use of the machinery to avoid potential errors while the machine is still in use. At the end of testing and checking, production begins, ultimately leading to rapid production improvement and operational boost.
