Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. When used in the contact of QCD - the word cost usually refers to cost management - and not cost cutting. Cost management refers to managing various resources properly - and eliminating all sort of muda in such a way that the overall cost goes down.
