    Process Analysis Terms

    Process: Is any part of an organization thattakes inputs and transforms them intooutputs.

    Cycle Time: Is the average successive timebetween completions of successive units.

    Utilization: Is the ratio of the time that aresource is actually activated relative to thetime that it is available for use.

    Process FlowchartingDefined

    Process flowcharting is the use of adiagram to present the major elements of aprocess. The basic elements can includetasks or operations, flows of materials orcustomers, decision points, and storage

    areas or queues. It is an ideal methodology by which to begin

    analyzing a process.

    Flowchart Symbols

    Tasks or operations Examples: Giving an

    admission ticket to acustomer, installing aengine in a car, etc.

    Decision Points Examples: How muchchange should begiven to a customer,

    which wrench shouldbe used, etc.

    Flowchart Symbols (Continued)

    Storage areas or

    queues

    Examples: Sheds,

    lines of people waitingfor a service, etc.

    Flows of

    materials orcustomers

    Examples: Customersmoving to the a seat,mechanic getting a

    tool, etc.

    Other Types of Processes

    Make-to-order

    Only activated in response to an actual order.

    Both work-in-process and finished goodsinventory kept to a minimum.

    Make-to-stock

    Process activated to meet expected or forecastdemand.

    Customer orders are served from target stockinglevel.

    Process Performance Metrics

    Operation time = Setup time

    Run time

    Throughput time = Average time for a unit tomove through the system

    Velocity = Throughput time

    Value-added time

    Process Performance Metrics

    (Continued) Cycle time = Average time between

    completion of units

    Throughput rate = 1 .

    Cycle time

    Efficiency = Actual output

    Standard Output

    Process Performance Metrics(Continued)

    Productivity = Output

    Input

    Utilization = Time Activated

    Time Available

    Cycle Time Example

    Suppose you had to produce 600 units in 80hours to meet the demand requirements of aproduct. What is the cycle time to meet thisdemand requirement?

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

    Process Throughput Time Reduction

    Perform activities in parallel.

    Change the sequence of activities.

    Reduce interruptions.
