The Design of Prcoesses (STEP 1 - Understanding process design (Variety…

- - - - Again more complexed
  - - - Ideally suited to a highly automoated, standardised, stable and simple process
- - - - produce "one-off" or unique outputs
        
        Typically complex, long timescale and requiring multidisciplinary teams
        
        Custom made dress (for Orscars)
    - - Relatively low output volume and typically taylored to the exact needs of he customer
        
        More general purpose equipment and skilled people switching from output to output quickly
        
        Work schedule can be complex, labour is relaitvely expensive, maintaining productivity is a challenge
        
        Bespoke clothing design
    - - 60% of manufacturing operates in this manner
        
        quantity of items produced as a group, at the same time
        
        Equipment set to produce a batch, then reset to produce a different item with the same resources
        
        Variety, batch size and different journeys throughout the factory can be hugely complex
    - - Very large numbers of product with minimal variety
        
        Large amounts of automation with a simplified process for workers
        
        high capital equipment orequired for ROI
        
        Maintenance and QC become a priority
    - - 24 hour operation, highly automated
        
        continuous stream of output
        
        challenging to maintain supply of raw materials
        
        logistic of getting the output to customers is significant
  - - - LOW VOLUME / IHGHLY CUSTOMISED
        
        ie Lawyer
    - - HIGHER VOLUME / LESS VARIETY
        
        ie Supermarket
    - - HIGH VOLUME / NO VARIETY
        
        ie Airport Security
- - - - Resources are moved to different sites
        
        ie - Construction
  - - - Specialist equipment of similar nature is grouped together so operators can travel from one to the other
        
        ie Hospital
      - Journeys through process can be long and slow
      - customers can get lost in layout
  - - - ie - self service cafeteria
  - - - Allows for positive production flow, with flexibility within each cell
        
        ie Department Stores
- - - - ie - public services
  - - - retail outlets
