007-Process design Flashcards
This refers to the creation and improvement of systems that converts inputs into outputs.
It involves understanding how work is performed within an organization and designing and implementing ways to enhance it
Process Design
Refers to the method an organization uses to produce its goods or services.
It involves making decision about the most appropriate production processes based on product requirements, operational goals, customer needs
This determines how goods or services are created
Process Selection
This is all about making sure that the production process aligns with a company’s goals, whether it’s producing in large quantities or being flexible with product changes
Process Strategy
Capital Intensity: the mix of equipment and labor that will be used by the organization.
Process Flexibility: the degree to which the system can be adjusted changes.
A decision planning process whereby an organization decides to purchase equipment for business purposes.
It refers to choosing the right machinery tools, and technology for the production or service delivery process
Selection of Equipment
It involves totally documenting and understanding how work is performed within an organization.
It identifies inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement ensuring processes are redesigned to align with strategic goals and operational effectiveness
Process Analysis and Design
This refers to the other factors and elements that need to be evaluated and optimized to ensure the effective delivery of services.
Key areas:
* Customer needs
* Service delivery location
* Standardization
* System efficiency
Process Consideration in Service Process Design
This refers to the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products
Capacity Planning
Defines as the maximum level of output that a company can sustain to make a product or provide a service.
In process selection____ refers to the maximum output that a production system or processes can handle within a given time period, given its available resources
Capacity
A type of capacity
The maximum output a system is designed to achieve under “ideal conditions”
Design capacity
A type of capacity
The maximum output a system can achieve under normal, realistic conditions, considering light maintenance, downtime, and operational and inefficiencies
Effective Capacity
The actual output that the system produces, which may vary due to unforeseen factors like equipment failures, labor shortages, air supplying chain distributors
Actual Capacity
Use for small production runs or highly customized products.
The production system is highly flexible meaning it can handle a wide variety of different products with low volume
Job Shop
Products are produced and groups (batches) and the production processes flexible enough to change between batches of different products
Batch Processing
Suited for situations where products are produced and moderate to high volumes and have some degree of standardization but still offers light variation
Repetitive Focus
Design for mass production of commodities and are used when production process must be continuous
Continuous Processing
