- Components in a system are in a series if the performance of the entire system depends on all of the components functioning properly - Series reliability is the reliability of the entire system based on the probability of each component functioning properly Rs=

What are the two general types of process design?

1. Basic Layouts already addressed (project, batch, etc.) 2. Advanced Process Designs:

What has changed from traditional process to extended process?

1. Competition has changed from company versus company to supply chain versus supply chain 2. Improving one link in the chain may not improve the overall chain's competitiveness 3. One firm's change in process might negatively impact another firm in the chain

How is a process map used?

1. Develop general process map 2. Interview those who perform each step of the work 3. Determine which steps add value. Eliminate those that do not.

What are the 9 product design process steps?

1. Product Idea Generation - Internal (marketing, R&D, etc.) and External (Customer) Inputs 2. Customer Future Needs Projection 3. Technology Selection - Technology feasibility statement considers performance parameters, limitations, etc. 4. Technology Development - Selection of processes used to transform materials into final product 5. Final Production Definition - Final drawings and specifications 6. Marketing and Distribution - Define customers and distribution networks 7. Product Design and Evaluation - Product Design Specification (PDS) developed identifying final product features, uses, etc. 8. Manufacturing System Design - Selection of process technologies that ensure a low cost, high quality product 9. Manufacture, Delivery, and Use

What 7 things determine Muthers Grid priorities?

1. Usage of common equipment or facilities 2. Usage of the same labor or information 3. Same work sequence or work flow 4. Need to communicate 5. Makes work unsafe 6. Makes quality of work life poor 7. Similar work

What is quality function deployment? (QFD)

A method for translating customer requirements into functional design (a.k.a. house of quality) Example: Designers need a means for implementing customer requirements into designs. The QFD house of quality shows how QFD is used to implement customer requirements into designs. The left side shows customer requirements. The roof on the house of quality lists technical requirements. By using the house of quality, engineering priorities are established that correlate most strongly with customer and market needs.

What is system availability?

Another way to evaluate reliability is through system availability

High volume, high standardization Example: Automobile assembly factory

Example of Muthers Grid - 3 things

In the Muther's grid above there are a few things that are evident: 1. Those departments with an A should be collocated. So department A and department B should be next to each other. 2. Those departments with an X should not be collocated. So department C and department D should NOT be next to each other. 3. Department F may be difficult to find departments that it should be located next to as E and C are rated only as somewhat important

Load-distance model characteristics

Load-distance models are focused on only cost and distance - They ignore any behavioral reasons for layout Example - you do not want to put paint shop next to lunchroom because of the scent

Technological Push (discontinuous development): Sending new product to market without clear idea of how customer will use it Example: personal computers

WHat is the bathtub reliability curve?

The "bathtub function" predicts that most appliances will fail during their initial use or after their expected, useful life. Because most major appliances include a first year warranty that covers labor and parts and this is the time that most appliances fail, it is probably not necessary to buy an extended warranty

What are the two dimensions of reliability?

Two Dimension of Reliability: 1. Failure Rate 2. Time Reliability Dimensions apply to: Component reliability (likelihood of a certain part not failing) System reliability (likelihood a system of components not failing)
