Question 1

Question 2

design positioning / matrix product - process

Answer 2

volume _ variety shape the business –> i need to consider them

X =     variety  -------------------> volume 
Y = organization / flow 

line of fit = diagonal
if i want high volume must be a very effitient and organize process

off the line = more costs

Y can be seen also like:
deverse work —————> repetitive
intermitting —————-> continuos

that transform the graph in the smaller graphs
