, 5. A process can be effective without being efficient.
` ` ` ` ` ` `
TRUE
Often, maximizing effectiveness and efficiency at the same time creates conflict between the two goals. "Being efficient" at the customer

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
minimizing the amount of time customers need to wait in line.
