The author cites the productivity increase of 27 percent in order to
prove the argument that kanban workers are more efficient than specialized workers.
provide an example of how rapid response to global demands can improve productivity.
argue against the reintroduction of the specialized worker.
support the thesis that predictable demand may encourage an otherwise less efficient practice.
challenge the theory that kanban workers are less efficient in a global market.
This question asks about what the author does, so you need to be conscious of just how short a GMAT passage is. The author has only about 250 words—he can illustrate, illuminate, and elucidate; display, discuss, or divulge. The author cannot prove, refute, resolve, or define—not in 250 words. So keep that in mind as you work through your Four-Step Approach, and especially as you use POE.
Here we go:
A No. The word prove makes this answer choice too extreme. Eliminate it.
B No. Rapid response is no longer needed because scheduling is long term. Eliminate it.
C No. According to the passage, there is no reason to argue against the reintroduction of the specialized worker. Eliminate it.
D Yes. This shows that specialized workers, an otherwise less efficient organizational choice, can function well under long-term scheduling. Keep it.
E No. No such theory is ever posited. Eliminate it.
The correct answer is choice D.
