Analyzing supplier relationships seems a bit off for value stream mapping. I lean towards identifying non-value-added activities as the best fit, but I could be wrong.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think it was about planning kaizen events. That might be where value stream mapping shines too.

I think value stream mapping is really useful for identifying non-value-added activities, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only benefit it provides.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think through the trade-offs between warehouse costs and transportation costs.

I'm not entirely sure, but was there something in our notes about private networks being like a more controlled environment? Maybe it's C?

This question seems straightforward - I think the key is understanding the difference between programmes and projects. The answer is likely related to the need for programmes to be flexible and adapt to changes in the organization's strategy.

PowerShell is my best guess. The cmdlet-style commands and object-oriented approach seem to fit.

I'm confused about the options, but 'docker start' usually just starts a stopped container. I think that's not it either.
