27. Key Process Terms
Value-added vs. non value-added tasks
– A value-added task is an essential work effort.
– A non value-added task is a nonessential work effort.
These types of tasks may even be a hindrance to the
process.
Input And Output
– Input is the information, material, and resource you n
eed to create products or service. It is the starting poi
nt of the production process.
– Output is the product, information, or service you pro
vide to another individual or work group. It is end poi
nt of the process.

30. Supplier-Producer-Customer Chain
• Supplier
You cannot make coffee without coffee grains-
--the input. A supplier must furnish the input a
ccording to the requirements of the producer.
•Producer
Te producer makes the coffee. Because the pro
ducer is responsible for the operation of the pr
ocess, the producer is also known as the proce
ss owner.
• Customer
The customer will drink that freshly brewed cu
p of coffee.
31. Focusing On Process Requirements
1. Requirements fuel the Supplier-Producer-C
ustomer relationship.
2. All requirements are Customer-driven.
3. Producer requirements must be fulfilled by
the Supplier so that the Producer can satisf
y his/her Customers’ requirements.
