state, used as an input to a production process for subsequent
modification or transformation into a finished good.

14. An estimate of costs, revenues, and resources over a

specified period, reflecting a reading of future financial conditions
and goals.
15. Department, facility, machine, or resource already working at
its full capacity and which, therefore, cannot handle any additional
demand placed on it. Also called critical resource.

Down

in different settings. Ergonomics applies anatomical, physiological,
and psychological knowledge (called human factors) to work and
work environments in order to reduce or eliminate factors that

overcoming job dissatisfaction and employee alienation arising
from repetitive and mechanistic tasks. Through job design,
organizations try to raise productivity levels by offering non-

rotation, and job simplification are the various techniques used in
a job design exercise.

employees or machines, or both, due to work stoppage from any cause.
Also called idle time, allowed time, or downtime.
