Chapter 6, Problem 1CTE
Summary Introduction
To name: Two unethical behaviors related to process selection, layout and the principles they violate.
Introduction:
Process selection:
It is the tactical choices made by a firm in selecting the kind of production procedure to be followed in the process of production. The process is selected after reviewing many numbers of criteria and constraints.
Layout:
The pictorial illustration of the work center depicting the organization of all equipment, machines and flow of materials with the work center. It gives a basic idea how everything operates within a work center.
