PROCESS SELECTION AND FACILITY LAYOUT
PROCESS SELECTION refers to deciding on the way production of goods or services will be
organized.
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 to changes
in processing requirements.
PROCESS TYPES
JOB SHOP used when a low volume of high-variety goods or services will be needed.
BATCH used when a moderate volume of goods or services is desired, and it can
handle a moderate variety in products or services.
REPETITIVE when higher volumes of more standardized goods or services are
needed.
CONTINUOUS when a very high volume of non-discrete, highly standardized output
is desired.
PROJECT a non-repetitive set of activities directed toward a unique goal within a limited time frame.
PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROFILING linking key product or service requirements to process
capabilities.
AUTOMATION machinery that has sensing and control devices that enable it to operate automatically.
KINDS OF AUTOMATION
FIXED AUTOMATION most rigid of the three (3) types. It uses high-cost, specialized
equipment for a fixed sequence of operations.
PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATION opposite end of spectrum. It involves the use
of high cost, general purpose equipment controlled by a computer program that provides
both the sequence of operations and specific details about each operation.
FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION evolved from programmable automation. It uses
equipment that is more customized than that programmable automation. Flexible
automation requires significantly less changeover time.
