Describe, in short, how OR process was improved and how this improvement affected the process metrics
Describe, in short, how OR process was improved and how this improvement affected the process metrics (flow time, value added time, waste and % value added time)
For the high level value stream map in figure 1, calculate the following
a) Flow time
b) Value added time
c) Waste
d) Percent value added time , given that % value added time =
Value added time / Flow time
2. Describe, in short, how OR process was improved and how this improvement affected the process metrics (flow time, value added time, waste and % value added time)
