What is one of the main outputs of load leveling?

Increased operational costs
Uneven distribution of work
More predictable production schedules
Delayed order fulfillment

The correct answer is: More predictable production schedules

Load leveling involves distributing work evenly across a production schedule to stabilize workflow and optimize operations. By implementing load leveling, organizations can create more predictable production schedules, as the overall workload is balanced and planned in a way that reduces fluctuations. This predictability allows for better resource allocation, fewer bottlenecks, and improved efficiency in the production process. Regarding the other options, they do not align with the goals of load leveling. Increased operational costs would typically be a negative outcome that load leveling seeks to avoid. An uneven distribution of work contradicts the very purpose of load leveling, which aims to create an equal workload. Similarly, delayed order fulfillment is often a result of poor scheduling and management rather than an outcome of load leveling, which strives to ensure timely delivery through better planning.
