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

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.

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

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
