Customer Value-Add (CVA):

Steps essential to deliver product or service according to customer requirements. Must meet all
three criteria:
• Transforms the item or service toward completion
• Customer would be willing to pay for it
• Done right the first time (not rework of previous errors)
Business Non-Value-Add (BNVA):
Steps that the business has to do, but add no value to the customer.
Non-Value Add (NVA):
Steps that do not qualify as value adding or value enabling.

A critical path is a path that has the longest duration among parallel paths in the process instance
flow. This is a split path, so you are constrained by the longer of the two paths, which is the
bottom one. CVA = 15 min / 300 hours = 0.05
