Finesse is a specialty molder of plastic jar covers for the cosmetics industry. Because the products sold are expensive cosmetics, the large cosmetic companies who purchase the jar covers are highly sensitive to the appearance of the product. Any cuts, nicks, abrasions, or pieces of dirt embedded will result in rejection of the units. The company spends a significant amount of time in the quality control area. The following list of sub-activities has been developed for quality control:

Number	Activity Description
3.1	Move units from production area to inspection area
3.2	Quality Control inspector reviews lots
3.3	Quality Control inspector determines lots to be inspected
3.4	Each unit is physically inspected
3.5	Defective units are returned to production area for rework
3.6	Good units are sent to shipping for packaging and shipment to final customer
3.7	Record of units inspected is recorded in production office

In an activity listing with value-added scores:

Activity 3.5 would be assigned a high value-added ranking.

Activity 3.4 would be assigned a high value-added ranking.

Activity 3.6 would receive the highest ranking.

Activity 3.4 would receive a higher ranking than activity 3.1.
