Process Analysis Terms


Process: Is any part of an organization that
takes inputs and transforms them into outputs



Cycle Time: Is the average successive time
between completions of successive units



Utilization: Is the ratio of the time that a
resource is actually activated relative to the
time that it is available for use
Process Flowcharting
Defined


Process flowcharting is the use of a diagram to
present the major elements of a process



The basic elements can include tasks or
operations, flows of materials or customers,
decision points, and storage areas or queues



It is an ideal methodology by which to begin
analyzing a process

PROCESS ANALYSIS – Key
Terms
What is a process?
A process is any part of an organization that takes Inputs and transforms
them into Outputs

•

Cycle time
(unit item)

•

•

the elapsed time between starting and completing a job
(Average time between completion of units)

Run time

is the time required to produce a batch of parts
(for the batch) (this is calculated by multiplying the time required to
produce each unit by the batch size)

Set-up time
(for the m/c)

is the time required to prepare a m/c to produce an item

7
•

Operation time

is the sum of set-up time and runtime for a batch
of parts that are run on a m/c

(for the Batch)

•

Thro’put time
( for the Unit)

the time that the unit spends actually being
worked plus the time spent waiting in

aQ

•

Thro’put Rate

•

Value Added time

(for the Batch)

(for the unit)

•

Thro’put Ratio

is the Output rate that the process is expected to
produce over a period of time
the time in which useful work is actually being
done on the unit
Process Velocity :
the ratio of the total thro’put time to the value added
time

A process that is activated only in response to an
actual order

A process that produces standard products that are
stored in finished Goods Inventory : the product is
quickly delivered to the customer

Combines the feature of both make-to-order and
make-to-stock
(A generic product is made and customised in a final
process to meet actual orders)

Other Process Terminology
(Continued)


Bottleneck
– Occurs when the limited capacity of a process
causes work to pile up or become unevenly
distributed in the flow of a process
– If an employee works too slow in a multi-stage
process, work will begin to pile up in front of
that employee. In this case the employee
represents the limited capacity causing the
bottleneck.



Pacing
– Refers to the fixed timing of the movement of
items through the process
17

Other Types of Processes


Make-to-order
– Activated only in response to an actual order
– Both work-in-process and finished goods
inventory kept to a minimum



Make-to-stock
– Process activated to meet expected or
forecast demand
– Customer orders are served from target
stocking level

Answer: There are 4,800 minutes (60
Answer: There are 4,800 minutes (60
minutes/hour x 80 hours) in 80 hours. So the
minutes/hour x 80 hours) in 80 hours. So the
average time between completions would have
average time between completions would have
to be: Cycle time = 4,800/600 units = 8 minutes.

Solved Problems – OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
(Class of 2010)
Q5. A processor makes 2 components, A and B, which are then packed together as final product
(each product sold contains one A and one B). The processor can do only one component at a
time: either it can make As or it can make Bs. There is a setup time when switching from A to
B
Current plans are to make 100 units of component A, then 100 units of component B, and then
100 units of A and 100 units of B to be packed to be supplied as 100 units of Final Product
The setup and runtimes for each component are given below:-

Component

Setup / Changeover
Time

Run Time / Unit

A

5 min

0.2 min

B

10 min

0.1 min

Assume that packaging of 2 components is totally automated and takes only 2 seconds / unit
of the final product. The packaging time is small enough that you can ignore it. What is the
average hourly output in terms of no. of units of packaged products (which includes 1 of A
and 1 of B)
31

Answer. In order to make final goods, we have to assemble both component A and
component B.
So, let us find out the final operation time for both the components :

Component A
Operation Time = Setuptime + Runtime (for batch)
= 5 + [ (0.2 × 100)]
= 25 minutes



Component B
Operation Time = Setuptime + Runtime (for batch)
= 10 + [ (0.1 × 100)]
= 20 minutes
32



So, Total Operation Time for 100 nos. of Finished Products ( Excluding Packaging
Time)
= 25 + 20
= 45 minutes / 100 pcs



Now, to find out Average output per Hour
In 45 minutes - - - - - - 100 nos
60 minutes
------ ?
= 60 × 100 = 133.34 units
45

Therefore Average Output per Hour = 134 units

The packaging time is small enough that you can ignore it. What is the average hourly output in terms of no. of units of packaged products (which includes 1 of A and 1 of B)
  • 31. 31 Answer. In order to make final goods, we have to assemble both component A and component B. So, let us find out the final operation time for both the components : Component A Operation Time = Setuptime + Runtime (for batch) = 5 + [ (0.2 × 100)] = 25 minutes  Component B Operation Time = Setuptime + Runtime (for batch) = 10 + [ (0.1 × 100)] = 20 minutes
  • 32. 32  So, Total Operation Time for 100 nos. of Finished Products ( Excluding Packaging Time) = 25 + 20 = 45 minutes / 100 pcs  Now, to find out Average output per Hour In 45 minutes - - - - - - 100 nos 60 minutes ------ ? = 60 × 100 = 133.34 units 45 Therefore Average Output per Hour = 134 units
