It is often the case that companies work hard at reducing the amount of time a flow unit (a customer or a product) spends in its operational environment. Such a reduction in flow time reduces the inventory in the system and enables the company to stay responsive to its markets. However, it is also conceivable that some companies implement strategies that increase flow times in their operations. Identify a company where such flow time increasing strategies are preferred.
a) Toyota - automotive assembly (flow unit is a vehicle)
b) The Bellagio - casino (flow unit is a customer)
c) Chobani - greek yogurt manufacturing (flow unit is a yogurt)
d) Amazon Fulfillment - not their website, but distribution (flow unit is product).
