Capacity
The maximum load that an organizational unit can carry or operate
Computer assisted design CAD
The design of components products in the processes on computers instead of on paper
Computer assisted manufacturing CAM
Manufacturing that employees specialized computer systems to actually guide and control the transformation processes
Computer, integrated manufacturing, CIM
A complete system that designs products, manages machines and materials and controls the operations function
Continuous manufacturing organizations
Companies that use continuously running assembly lines creating products with many similar characteristics
Customization
Making products to make a particular customers needs or wants
Economic order quantity EOQ module
A model that identifies the optimum number of items to order to minimize the cost of managing, ordering, storing and using inventory
Fixed position layout
layout that brings all resources required to create a product to a central location
Flexible manufacturing
The direction of machinery, by computers to adapt to different versions of similar operations
Inputs
The resources, such as labor, money, materials, and energy that are converted into outputs
Intermittent organizations
Organizations that deal with products of a lesser magnitude, then do project organizations. Their products are not necessarily unique, but possesses significant number of differences.
Inventory
All raw materials components completed or partially completed products and pieces of equipment affirm uses
Inventory control
The process of determining how many supplies and goods are needed, and keeping track of quantities on hand, where each item is, and who is responsible for it

ISO19600
Provides guidelines for compliance management that address risks, legal requirements, and stakeholder needs
Just in time JIT inventory management
A technique using similar quantities of materials that arrive just in time for use in the transformation process, and therefore require less storage space, and other inventory management expense
Manufacturing
The activities and processes used in making tangible products, also called production
Material requirements planning MRP
A planning system that schedules, the precise quantity of materials needed to make the product
Modular design
The creation of an item in self-contained units or modules that can be combined or interchanged to create different products
Operations
The activities and processes used in making both tangible and intangible products
Operations management OM
The development and administration of the activities involved in transforming resources into goods and services
Outputs
The goods services, and ideas that resolved from the conversion of inputs
Product layout
A layout requiring that production be broken down into relatively simple tasks, assigned to workers who are usually positioned along an assembly line
Process layout
organizes the transformation process into departments that group related processes
Production
The activities and process is used in making tangible products also called manufacturing
Project organization
A company using a fixed position layout because it is typically involved in large complex projects, such as construction or exploration
Purchasing
The buying of all materials needed by the organization, also called procurement
Quality control
The processes an organization uses to maintain its established quality standards
Routing
The sequence of operations, through which the product must pass
Scheduling
The assignment of required tasks to departments, or even specific machines, workers, or teams
Standardization
The making of identical, interchangeable components and products
Statistical process control
The system in which management collects an analyzes information about the production process to pinpoint quality problems in the production system
Supply chain management
Connecting and integrating all parties members of the distribution system in order to satisfy customers
Total quality management TQM
A philosophy, that uniform commitment to quality in all areas of an organization will promote a culture that meets customers perceptions of quality
