Process Flow DesignDefined • A process flow design can be defined as a mapping of the specific processes that raw materials, parts, and subassemblies follow as they move through a plant. • The most common tools to conduct a process flow design include assembly drawings, assembly charts, and operation and route sheets.

Route Sheet • Lists all operations
Capacity • Capacity - number of units produced per time period • If 6 workers are employed for a process with 11 machines and each machine produces 25 parts per hour, what is the weekly capacity (5 days) for a one shift per day operation (8-hours) if each machine requires a worker full time? • Answer:
