PROCESS SELECTION and FACILITY LAYOUT

PROCESS SELECTION and FACILITY LAYOUT

1. TECHNOLOGY

   • Kinds Of Technology
     • 1- Products and services 2 - Process Technology 3 - Information Technology
       • Have a Major Impact On:
         • - Cost -Productivity -Competitiviness
   • Techonology As Competitive Advantage
     • Products and Services
       • Cell Phones, PDAs, Wireless Computing
       • Process Technology
         • High Productivity, high Quality, Low Costs
           • Technology Risk
             • Economic Issues
               • Initial Cost, space, cash flow, Maintenance, consultants
             • Integration Issues
               • Cost, Time Resources
             • Human Issues
               • Training, Job loss, Safety
         • Process Selection
           • Variety - How Much
           • Flexibility - What Degree
           • Volume - Expected Output

2. PROCESS SELECTION

   • PROCESS TYPES
     • JOB SHOP
       • It is use when a low volume of high-variety goods or services will be needed
     • BATCH
       • Is use when a moderate volume of goods or services is desired
     • REPETITIVE
       • Is used when higher volumes of more standardized goods or services are needed
     • CONTINUOUS
       • Is used when a very high volume of non discrete, highly standardized ouput is desired
     • PROJECT
       • Is used for work that is non routine, whit a unique set of objetives to be acocomplished in a limited time frame
   • AUTOMATION
     • Machinery that has sensing and control device that enable it to operate automatically
     • Kinds Of Automation
       • FIXED AUTOMATION
         • It uses high cost, specialized equipment for a fixed secuences of operation
       • FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION
         • Envolved from programmable automation. It uses equipment that is more customized than that of programmable automation
       • PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATION
         • It involves the use of high cost, general- purpose equipment controlled by a computer program that provides both the sequences of operation
         • APLICATION
           • Numerically Controlled (N/C) Machines
           • Computarized Numerical Controlled
           • Direct Numerical Controlled
           • Robot

3. FACILITY LAYOUT

   • Layout refers to the configuration of deparments, works center and equipment, whit particular emphasis on movement of work through the system
     • Repetitive processing: Product Layout
       • Advantage
         • - High rate of output - Labor specialization - low unit cost due to high volume
       • Disadvantage
         • - Intense Division of labor creates repetitives jobs that provide little opportunity for advancement - Poorly skilled workers may exhibit little interest in maintaining equipment or in the quality of Output
       • A U- Shaped Production Line
       • Process Layout
   • Fixed - Position Layout
     • Nature of theproduct dictates this type of layout
     • Large Construction project
   • Cellular Layouts
     • Cellular Production
     • Group Technology
   • Services Layouts
     • WareHouse Ans Storage Layout
     • Retail Layout
     • Office Layout
   • Combination layout
   • Flexible manufacturing systems
