Facilities Planning Product, Process and Schedule Design

Process identification provides input into the process selection procedure, what does the input consist of?

1. A parts list 2. Component Part Drawings 3. Production Quantities

What are some of the graphic tools available to support process sequencing?

1. Assembly Chart 2. Operation Process Chart 3. Precedence Diagram

Process Selection involves several steps. What are they?

1. Define elemental operations 2. Identify alternative processes 3. Analyze alternative processes 4. Standardize processes 5. Evaluate alternative processes 6. Select processes

A parts list, which provides a listing of the component parts of a product, includes what?

1. Make-or-buy decisions 2. Part Numbers 3. Part Names 4. Number of parts per product 5. Drawing references

A listing of items to be made or purchased takes either of these forms:

1. Parts List 2. Bill of Materials (BOM)

The process designer must perform what?

1. Process identification 2. Process selection 3. Process sequencing

What automates the manual planning process?

Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP)

What is a method in which parts having similarities are grouped together?

Group Technology (GT)

In addition to the information provided by route sheets and assembly charts, an operation process chart provides what?

Provides an overview of flow within a facility.
