A firm uses value stream income statements. These statements include one value streams and two non-value streams. The value stream income statement shows the following cost numbers for the firm's value stream $100,000 materials cost, $150,000 labor cost, and $75,000 overhead cost. (The firm has no fixed overhead.)

Which of the following is TRUE about these cost numbers?

	a.	The firm most likely scrutinizes these costs closely because they are likely to be waste.
	b.	The firm most likely considers these direct labor and overhead costs to be waste.
	c.	The firm most likely considers the overhead cost to be waste.
	d.	The firm most likely control these costs through a process of continuous improvement.

Answer is option D

The firm most likely control these costs through a process of continuous improvement.

Value stream costs are considered to be non-waste costs. This type of income statement is widely used by the lean firms as their main objective is to control waste.

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.4 m, depth of 3.5 m, and current speed of 2.1 m/s. The other stream is 6.4 m wide and 3.1 m deep, and flows at 2.5 m/s. If the river has width 10.5 m and speed 2.8 m/s, what is its depth? Clearly explain why the Volume Flow rate R, (the volume of fluid per second that passes a point in a flow), is equal to...

Two streams are mixed to form a single stream. Only the steady flow in the mixed stream is known. A soluble salt is added to one of the original streams at a steady state and samples show the stream to have a 4.76% salt content by weight. Samples of the combined stream show it to be 0.62% salt content by weight. What is the flow rate of the two original streams ?
