Answer and Explanation:

Waste occurs when a company uses inputs that do not add value to their customers. In other words, something customers are not willing to pay for is classified as waste to the company.

Variability is predictability or unpredictability as regards the products of the company. This is what customers expect the products of the company to be like everytime they buy, a certain standard. Example when a customer buys food from a restaurant and expects it to taste the same everytime.

Inflexibility or rigidity occurs when a company isn't flexible enough to adapt easily to customer's expectations such as product mix, changes in demand of their products etc.

These three inhibitors if not handled properly will lead to bad resource management causing customer and employee dissatisfaction.

There are two steps for XYZ bakery to make their bread. One is to prepare the dough and bake the loaves, and the other one is to

Allushta [10]

Answer:

a. Potential Packing Output/hr = (50 loaves/20 min) * 60 min = 150 loaves.

However, the production of 50 loaves takes 60 mins, so the packaging remains idle for 40 mins and the Actual Packing Output/hr = 50 loaves.

Hence, Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output/Potential Output) *100% = (50/150)*100% = 33.33%

b) Production output = 50 loaves/hr = 50 loaves/60 mins

Packing Output = 50 loaves/20 mins

So, to make both the capacities equal, the XYZ Bakery can simultaneously operate three batches to prepare the dough and bake i.e 150 loaves/60 mins for both production as well as packing.
