This document outlines the key inputs and outputs involved in a typical manufacturing transformational process. It identifies material, environmental, and facility inputs that are transformed, along with manipulated process inputs, and then lists the resulting measured and unmeasured outputs including the transformed part or material, byproducts, and environmental outputs. Operator training and specifications for input and output parts are also included as important aspects of the transformational process.
