Document Summary
Determines how inputs, activities, and outputs of a process are organized. = categorizes processes into structures based on output volume and variety. Cellular manufacturing = the production of products with similar process characteristics on small assembly lines called cells. Mass customization = uses advanced technologies to customize products quickly and at a low cost. Product configurations are based on actual customer orders. Products are assembled form standard modules that are store in inventory reducing the time form order to delivery. Advanced technologies such as 3d printing, robotics, or flexible manufacturing systems (fms = combine automated machines, robots, and material handling systems that are all controlled by a single computer. Upstream in a supply chain: raw materials are made using continuous processes. Parts and components are often made using cellular or batch manufacturing. Finished goods are often assembled in repetitive processes.
