Process Design Analysis: Calculating Objectives, Tasks, and Capacity

This chapter explores the process design analysis, which involves calculating the objectives, sequence of activities, task allocation, capacity, and variability effects. It includes various process mapping symbols and examples of different process configurations. Queuing analysis and the relationship between process utilization and the number of units waiting to be processed are also discussed.

  2. Figure 5.1 Process design – analysis involves calculating the details of the process, in particular its objectives, sequence of activities, allocation of tasks and capacity, and its ability to incorporate the effects of variability

  3. Figure 5.2 'Micro' process performance objectives and process design factors

  4. Figure 5.3 Some common process mapping symbols
