Part $1$: Analyze the percentage of value$-$added and non$-$value$-$added activities. Show your work.

Part $2$: After thoroughly reviewing all the activities, you realize you cannot eliminate any of the non$-$value$-$added activities. List three plans for reducing the monetary impact of the non$-$value$-$added activities. Please avoid bullets for this submission and be specific with your recommendations. For example, "Increase training" is not specific and will not receive full points.
