Answer:

I believe the correct answer is e) ad analysis

Explanation:

She conducted a survey among a group of individuals. Following this, she recommended to her company the development of a customizable travel app.

Answer:

A. 50

B. 4%

Explanation:

To determine the number of new MBA graduates that Mt. Kinley must recruit annually, we calculate the flow rate of associates by dividing the average number of associates by the flow time for associates.

Requirement A:

Flow rate of associates = Average inventory of associates / Flow time of associates

Flow rate of associates = 200/4

Flow rate of associates = 50

Thus, the company needs to hire 50 new MBAs each year.

Requirement B

The likelihood of an associate advancing to partner is 20% x 20%

This results in a probability of 4% for an associate to become a partner

Therefore, the probability that a new employee at Mt. Kinley will be promoted to partner stands at 4%

Working

The manager flow rate equals the average inventory of managers divided by their flow time

The flow rate of managers = 60/6

The flow rate for managers totals 10 per year

For partners, the flow rate is calculated as the average inventory of partners divided by their flow time

The flow rate of partners = 20/10

This results in 2 partners per year

The probability of an associate becoming a manager is given by 10/50

yielding a probability of 20%

The chances of progressing to partner stands at 2/10

indicating a 20% chance of becoming a partner

Answer:

The correct answers are b. As batch size grows, lead time shrinks and d. The Product Owner influences batch size, while the Development Team determines utilization.

Explanation:

Generally, when the batch size increases, lead time also rises, as smaller batches can be processed quicker compared to larger ones, which take extra time. Additionally, the product owner influences the batch size based on market demand, and the development team conducts utilization tests to inform their decisions that affect how resources are utilized.
