Figured I'd throw in my 2c worth.
I like the idea of splitting the terms into value added and mission critical.
Value added would apply anything directly to the products produced.
Mission critical to the other areas.
I would liken it to the old idea of machine productivity. Theoretically speaking, the only time a machine is making money is when it is making chips (from the old days when I ran lathes).
Therefore tool changes etc. were not making money therefore were not value added. However tool changes were necessary, therefore critical to the mission. Thus "Mission Critical".
