1. The variety of goods or services being offered: The greater the variety of goods and services, the greater the variation in production or service requirements. Deliberate choice of a business. Show 2. Structural variation in demand, such as trends and seasonal variations. These are generally predictable. They are particularly important for capacity planning. 3. Random variation. This natural variability is present to some extent in all processes, and it also present in demand for services and products, and cannot generally be influenced by managers. 4. Assignable causes of variation: Variation caused by defective inputs, incorrect work methods, out of adjustment equipment, and so on. This type of variation can be reduced or eliminated by analysis and corrective action. Variations can be disruptive to operations and supply chain processes, interfering with optimal functioning. Variations result in additional cost, delays and shortages, poor quality, and inefficient work systems. Poor quality and product shortages or service delays can lead to dissatisfied customers and damage an organization's reputation and image. The goods-services continuum consists of which set of the following categories? Measures of product development success
can be organized in what three categories? What are the three general factors that determine the fit of a new or revised service process? C. 8.98% (Labor productivity is output (revenue) divided by hours of labor input. For April, revenue per week was $60,000 and labor hours were 4 x [(40 x 6) + (25 x 4)]. This is 60,000/1,360 or 44.12 dollars per hour of labor. For May, revenue per week was $50,000 and labor hours were 4 x [(40 x 6) + (10 x 2)] This is 50,000/1,040 or 48.08 dollars per hour of labor a difference of $3.96 per hour. The percentage change in productivity between April and May, then, is 3.96/44.12 = 0.0898 x 100 = 8.98%) What are the three general factors that determine the fit of a new or revised service process?

vocabulary Read the following passage and then answer the questions about it, write the letter of your choice on the answer line. In keeping with the laws of developmental direction, the brain develops, for the most part, from the bottom to the top and from the inside to the outside. That is, he brain stem develops before the cortex, and the inside of the cortex develops before the outside. The cerebellum, however, which is responsible for regulation and coordination of complex voluntary muscular movements, is an exception to the general trends of neurological development. The cerebellum is the last of the rain to develop, even though it is just in back of the spinal cord and below the cortex. The development of the brain is thought to occur as neurons multiply, migrate (to use a term favored by developmental neurologists), and interact. Individual neurons that make up the human nervous system communicate with each other through dendrites and axons. Dendrites are branched projections of the nucleus of nerve cells that function to receive signals from other cells. The axon is a long fibrous projection that *transmits* information to other cells. The area of communication between neurons is called a *synapse*. As neurons develop and pathways between them are established, the brain becomes capable of controlling a greater variety of physical and cognitive activities. It appears that the brain is genetically programmed to develop according to a timetable that prepares the maturing organism to process appropriate stimulation at particular stages of development (Parmalee and Sigman, $1983$). If stimulation occurs before the nervous system is ready for it, neurons seem to protect themselves by rejecting the sensory input. Premature infants, for example, are exposed to many more stimuli than infants who develop in utero for the full nine-month gestation period. Despite receiving an abnormal amount of stimulation compared to full-term infants, preterm babies do not exhibit accelerated neurological or physiological growth. Once the nervous system is ready to respond, however, it appears that “appropriate” stimulation facilitates normal development. That the neurological growth of premature babies is not more rapid than that of full-term babies is (A) a trend of neurological development. (B) a result of a flexible timetable for development. (C) a type of inborn protection. (D) a result of abnormal stimulation. Verified answer Other Quizlet sets |
