2 Implications of Process Selection: 3 Definition: Process Selection 4 Approaches of process strategy: 5 Technology and technological innovation 6 Technology as a competitive advantage: 7 Technology acquisition:
8 Primary questions in process selection:
9 5 basic process types There are five Basic Process types: Job shop, Batch, Repetitive, Continuous, and Project 1. Job Shop:
operates on a relatively small scale and it is used when a low volume of high-quality goods or services will be needed. 2. Batch: used when a moderate volume of goods/services is desired. 3. Repetitive: when higher volumes of more standardized goods/service are needed this process is used. 4. Continuous: when a very high volume of nondiscrete, highly standardized output is desired, this process is used. 5. Project: a nonrepetitive set of
activities directed toward a unique goal within a limited time frame. 10 WHY PROJECTS HAVE LIMITED DURATIONS?: 11
Product or service profiling:
12 Sustainable Production of goods and services: 13 The role of flexibility in process strategy: 14 Facilities layout Layout: refers to the configuration of departments, work centers, and
equipment, with particular emphasis on movement of work (customers or materials) through the system. As in other areas of system design, layout decisions are important for three basic reasons: 1. They require substantial investments of money and effort. 2. They involve long-term commitments, which makes mistakes difficult to overcome. 3. They have a significant impact on the cost and efficiency of operations.
15 Objectives of layout design: 16 3 basic types of layout 1. Product Layouts
which are most conducive to repetitive processing. 2. Process Layouts are used for intermittent processing. 3. Fixed-position Layouts are used when projects require layouts. 17 Main advantages of product layouts
18 Primary disadvantages of products layout 19 Advantages of process layouts 20 Disadvantages of process layouts 21 Flexible manufacturing system (fms)
22 Computer-integrated manufacturing (cim) 23 Service layouts Service Layout requirements are somewhat different from Manufacturing Layout requirements. The degree of customer contact and the degree
of customization are two factors in Service Layout Design. 1. Warehouse and Storage Layouts: the design of storage facilities presents a different set of factors that the design of factory layouts and the frequency of order is an important consideration. 2. Retail Layouts: this design must take into account the presence of customers and the opportunity to influence sales volume and customer attitudes through carefully designed layouts. 3. Office Layouts:
these layouts are undergoing transformation in an effort to create an image of openness. 4. Automation in Services: means more-standardized services and less need to involve the customer directly. 24 Designing process layouts
25 Information requirements for design process layouts:
26 Minimizing transportation costs or distances 27 Measures of Effectiveness 28 Reference: Stevenson, W. J.
(2009). Operations Management. McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. New York, NY Which type of layout is most conductive to repetitive processing?The three basic types of layout are product, process, and fixed-position.. Product layouts are most conducive to repetitive processing.. Process layouts are used for intermittent processing.. Fixed-position layouts are used when projects require layouts.. Which type of processing is the best for highly standardized goods or services?c) Repetitive: Used when high volumes of standardized goods or services are needed. Slight flexibility of equipment is needed. Skill of workers is relatively low. This process type is often referred to as an assembly.
What are the different types of process selection and layout?Process Types. There are five basic process types: job shop, batch, repetitive, continuous, and project.
Which of the following types of processing is used for production of customized goods or services?Mass customization
This type of process is a mass production line that creates products unique and customized according to consumers' needs.
