Document Summary

Characteristics =: inspection - the verification of an activity square, delay - unintentional stops in the flow of inputs/outputs (d, storage - the formal control of inventory (upside down triangle) > use process map symbols to show process map: inputs/outputs/flows, inputs - items originating from outside the process that are consumed by the process. Process map symbols e. g. raw materials, energy, information, people. Capacity - the limits on the output of a process given the inputs. Utilizations - % of process capacity that is actually used. Yield rate - good output as a % of expected output. >utilization of max capacity = 150,000/200,000 * 100% = 75% >utilization of effective capacity = 150,000/120,000 * 100% = 125% > maximum capacity - highest output rate; ideal conditions; short term. > effective capacity - account disruptions, worker fatigue, preventive. > normal conditions; long term e. g. smallest capacity = max capacity. > bottlenecks if machine before provides less than machine after.
