Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of value-added time: Value-added time refers to the time spent on activities that directly contribute to the creation or delivery of a product or service, enhancing its value to the customer.

Analyze each option provided in the problem: Evaluate whether the activity described in each option contributes directly to the value of the product or service for the customer.

Option 1: Time spent processing a customer's order. This activity is directly related to fulfilling the customer's request and delivering the product or service, which adds value to the customer experience.

Option 2: Time spent correcting billing errors. This activity does not add value to the product or service but is necessary to fix mistakes, which is considered non-value-added time.

Option 3 and 4: Time spent waiting for customer payment approval and time spent reworking returned merchandise. Both activities are non-value-added as they do not enhance the product or service but are necessary to address issues or delays.
