Process Selection, Design, and

Analysis
Summary of Key Topics
Process Analysis and Improvement
• - Increasing revenue by improving efficiency
• - Enhancing agility and responsiveness
• - Improving quality by reducing defects
• - Decreasing costs through better technology
• - Reducing process flow time and carbon
footprint
Process Design and Resource
Utilization
• - Utilization: Fraction of time a resource is
busy
• - Key formula: Utilization = Work done /
Available capacity
• - Example problem-solving for labor utilization
Throughput and Bottlenecks
• - Throughput: Output rate of a process (units
per time)
• - Bottleneck: The process step that limits
throughput
• - Example: Printer inspection station utilization
calculation
Utilization Analysis in Different
Scenarios
• - Restaurant order fulfillment process
• - Impact of increasing chefs or ovens
• - Revised utilization analysis exhibits
Little’s Law and Process
Performance
• - Formula: WIP = Throughput x Flow Time
• - Flow time (cycle time) and its significance
• - Helps in evaluating process performance
