Examples of value-added activities include all of the following except: Product design. Material movement. Assembly activities. Establish an effective distribution network.

Material movement

Explanation:

Value added activities like the name implies means any activities that add value towards an already pre-determined aim. It could come in various ways so far the major objective was achieved.

From the options given above, material movement is not an example of value-added activity due to the fact that it does not helps towards acieving any aim but rather waste valuable time. Imagine moving sand particles (Material) from point A to point B knowing fully well that the sand would not be used for anything at any particular point in time.

answer; the above statement is (false);

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
