◉ Process Capability Index (Cpk)
Answer: Basic function of Six Sigma. Measures the process potential
and performance of processes. The higher the range of Cpk, the
improved is the ability of the process to complete its necessities.
◉ Six Sigma
Answer: A disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for
eliminating defects (driving toward six standard deviations between
the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process - from
manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.
◉ Design Capacity
Answer: The theoretical maximum output of a system in a given
period under ideal conditions.
◉ Location Analysis
Answer: proximity to customers, transportation, source of labor,
community attitude, proximity to suppliers, and many other factors.
,The technique for determining location decisions.
◉ Line Processes
Answer: A type of process used to produce a large volume of a
standardized product.
■ Limited customization and high volume
◉ Batch Processes
Answer: A type of process used to produce a small number of
products in groups or batches based on customer orders or
specifications.
■ High customization moderate volume
◉ Project Processes
Answer: A type of process used to make a one-at-a-time product
exactly to customer specifications.
■ Most custom and lowest volume
◉ Continuous Processes
,Answer: A type of process that operates continually to produce a
high volume of a fully standardized product.
- No customization and as high a volume as possible
◉ Bottleneck
Answer: Longest task in the process.
◉ Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)
Answer: A type of automated system that combines the flexibility of
intermittent operations with the efficiency of continuous operations.
◉ Output/Input Control
Answer: A technique for monitoring the flow of jobs between work
centers.
◉ Value-Added
Answer: The net increase created during the transformation of
inputs into final outputs.
◉ Hybrid Layouts
Answer: Layouts that combine characteristics of process and
product layouts.
, - Group technology layouts.
- Cell technology layouts.
- Grocery stores use hybrid layouts
◉ Relationship Chart (REL)
Answer: Table that reflects opinions of managers with regard to the
importance of having any two departments close together.
◉ Rectilinear Distance
Answer: The shortest distance between two locations using north-
south and east-west movements.
◉ From-To Matrix
Answer: Table that gives the number of trips or units of product
moved between any pair of departments.
◉ Block Plan
Answer: Schematic showing the placement of resources in a facility.
◉ Mean Observed Times
Answer: The average of the observation times for each of the work
elements.
