Dal
The

the
operations:

cost
–

mistakes
made
by
each
process
in
operation,
the
less
time
will
be
needed
to
correct
the
mistakes
and
the
less
confusion
and
irritation
will
be
spread.
-‐ Increases
dependability
–
Error
free
products
and
services
can
lead
to
customer
satisfaction
2. Speed
Speed
means
the
elapsed
time
between
customers
requesting
products
or
services
and
them
receiving
them.
The
faster
a
customer
receives
a
product/service
the
more
likely
they
are
to
buy
it,
or
the
more
they
will
pay
for
it,
or
the
greater
benefit
they
receive.
e.g.
Supermarket:
-‐ The
time
taken
for
the
total
transaction
of
going
to
the
supermarket,
making
the
purchases
and
returning
kept
to
a
minimum
-‐ The
immediate
availability
of
goods.
Speed
inside
the
operations:
-‐ Reduces
inventories/risk
–
Fast
throughput
reduces
inventory
hence
reduces
risk
3. Dependability
Doing
things
in
time
for
customers
to
receive
their
goods
or
services

they
are
promised.
