Downsizing savings? Not sure that fits here.

I vaguely recall that RTY improvements are often linked to hard savings, but I can't remember the exact definitions we went over in class.

I feel like this question is tricky. I want to say it's soft savings because it’s about improving processes, but I could be wrong.

I remember a practice question where we discussed COPQ, and I think downsizing savings was mentioned. But I don't know if that applies here.

I think RTY improvement might relate to hard savings, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like it could also be soft savings since it's about efficiency.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'm trying to think through the different options, but I'm a bit confused on how they might impact collaboration during PI Planning.

I'm a bit confused by the different group options. I'll need to re-read the question and table carefully to make sure I understand which groups can be added.

Ugh, COPQ questions are the worst. But I'm pretty sure the answer is C. Soft savings. Anything that improves efficiency without reducing direct costs has to be in the 'soft' category. Although, I'd love to see the look on an accountant's face if you told them their review wasn't needed!

Ha! Leave it to the LEAN folks to turn loan processing into a quality issue. I'm going with B. Hard savings. If they can handle more applications without extra staff, that's gotta be real money saved, right?

Hmm, I think the answer is C. Soft savings. Improving the loan application process without involving accounting seems like it would reduce overhead, but not necessarily lead to hard cash savings. The RPT improvement is the key here.

This is a trick question! Surely the correct answer is D. Median savings, right? I mean, how can loan processing be considered a 'poor quality' issue? Sounds like a win-win to me!
