Process Selection
The ways organizations choose to produce or provide their goods and services.
It involves choice of technology, type of processing, and so on.
It influences
– Capacity planning
– Layout of facilities
– Equipment

Capacity is significantly impacted by process selection and facility layout.
Process Types
• Project: A non-repetitive set of activities directed
toward a unique goal within a limited time frame
– Unique
• Job shop: it use when a low volume of high-variety
goods or services will be needed.
– Small scale
• Batch: is used when a moderate volume of goods
or services is desired and it can be handle a moderate variety in products and services.
– Low or Moderate volume
Process Types
Repetitive: provides one or a few highly
standardized products or services
◦ High volumes of standardized goods or services
Continuous: produces highly uniform products
or continuous services, often performed by machines ◦ Very high volumes of non-discrete goods
Automation
Automation: Machinery that has sensing and
control devices that enables it to operate automatically Standardized goods and services
Examples:
◦ Goods: Automobile factories, semiconductors
◦ Services: Package sorting, e-mail, on-line
banking
Automation Types
Fixed automation
Specialized equipment for a fixed sequence of
operations.
Programmable automation
It involves the use of high-cost, general purpose
equipment controlled by a computer program that provides both the sequence of operations and specific details about each operation.
Flexible automation
It uses equipment that is more customized than that
the programmable automation.
