too much

9. Movement of goods or services along the value stream from raw

materials to the customer without backflow, stoppages, or waste.

12. A party that supplies goods or services. A supplier may be

distinguished from a contractor or subcontractor, who commonly adds
specialized input to deliverables. Also called vendor.

13. Basic substance in its natural, modified, or semi-processed state, used

as an input to a production process for subsequent modification or
transformation into a finished good.

14. An estimate of costs, revenues, and resources over a specified period,

reflecting a reading of future financial conditions and goals.

15. Department, facility, machine, or resource already working at its full

capacity and which, therefore, cannot handle any additional demand
placed on it. Also called critical resource.

Down
2. Study of capabilities and limitations of mental and physical work in
different settings. Ergonomics applies anatomical, physiological, and
psychological

knowledge (called human factors) to work and work environments in order

to reduce or eliminate factors that cause pain or discomfort.

3. A business or person that sells goods to the consumer, as opposed to a

wholesaler or supplier, who normally sell their goods to another business.

4. Desire for certain good or service supported by the capacity to purchase

it

5. Highest sustainable output rate (maximum number of units per month,

quarter, or year) that can be achieved with current resources, maintenance
strategies, product specifications, etc.

6. An itemized catalog or list of tangible goods or property, or the intangible

attributes or qualities.

7. Estimate of expected demand over a specified future period. Also called

forecast demand.

8. The comparison of what is actually produced or performed with what can

be achieved with the same consumption of resources (money, time, labor,
etc.). It is an important factor in determination of productivity.

9. Work arrangement (or rearrangement) aimed at reducing or overcoming

job dissatisfaction and employee alienation arising from repetitive and
mechanistic tasks. Through job design, organizations try to raise
productivity levels by offering non-monetary rewards such as greater
 satisfaction from a sense of personal achievement in meeting the
increased challenge and responsibility of on1e's work. Job enlargement,
job enrichment, job rotation, and job simplification are the various
techniques used in a job design exercise.
10. Non-productive time (during which an employee is still paid) of employees or
machines, or both, due to work stoppage from any cause. Also called idle time,
allowed time, or downtime.
