The document discusses process design and its steps. Process design determines the overall sequence of operations required to achieve product specifications based on the nature of the product, materials used, production quantity, and existing plant layout. The key steps of process design are to determine the manufacturing method, establish the sequence and type of operations, select required tools and equipment, and analyze how manufacturing will fit into existing facilities. Process strategy considers make-or-buy decisions, capital requirements, and process flexibility.

2. Process
 The sequence of activities intended to achieve some
results, to create added value for the customers
Process Planning:
• The planning for conversion process of raw materials in finished
products
It consists of two parts:

(ii) Operations Design

3. Process Design
 It is concerned with the overall sequence of operations required to achieve the
product specifications.
 The sequence of operations are determined by
i. Nature of the product
ii. Materials to be used
iii. Quantity to be produced
iv. Existing physical layout of the plant
• It is concerned with the design of the individual manufacturing
operations
Operation Design

4. Steps of Process Design:
1. Determine the method of manufacturing
2. Establish the sequence & type of operations involved
3. Select the tools and equipment required and
4. Analyze how the manufacturing of the product will fit into the
facilities

5. Framework for process design
 Characteristics of product and services offered to the customer
 Expected volume of output
 Equipment & machines available in the plant
 Cost of the equipment & machineries
 Labour-skills and their wage rates
 Expenditure to be incurred for the manufacturing process
 Make or buy decision
 Method of handling material economically

6. Process Strategy
 It is an organization’s approach to process selection for the purpose of
transforming resource inputs into outputs (goods & services)
 The key aspects of process strategy are,
I. Decision for making or buying product
II. Amount of capital required
III. Process flexibility
