- Synopsis
- This Reading expands on the basic concepts of Process Analysis. It begins with explanations of generic types of processes: the job shop, the worker-paced line, cellular manufacturing, the machine-pace assembly link, and the continuous flow process. Each process type has different characteristics and key management challenges associated with it. The Reading continues with an introduction to the impact of variability (in this case, in processing times) on process performance. The final section covers process improvement with a focus on quality and learning.
