Process Design, Summary The chapter discusses the role carried out by Process Design in planning of facilities. The departments or individuals concerned with process design aim at determining the process and components used in designing of products. It as well involves identification of equipment, fixtures, tools, and machinery. In manufacturing the individual parts, routing takes place in order to prepare the route sheets. The article explains the process of manufacturing the route sheets with keen consideration of time standards.The group technology comes into play in a work cell Load Chart connected to an automatic machine loaded and activated to bring out a complete product. Further, the article describes the Assembly and Pack out Process used for analyzing the product. This involves the Assembly Chart, Time Standards for every activity carried. The Conveyor Speed determines the size and number of units that can come out in a minute. The Paint Conveyor speed helps in determining the size of the baking oven and drying oven. The Assembly Line Balancing helps in equalizing the workload, identifying the bottleneck, establishing the assembly line speed and reduction of the cost of production. Additionally, the article stipulates clearly a procedural process for completing the form for The Assembly Line Balancing. In the end, the article describes the process of calculating the Assembly Line efficiency. This is possible through percentage or numerical calculation by using hours in every 1,000 columns or as well the Cycle Time column. Computer simulations assist in work cell designing and helps in the balancing of lines and the Work Cell Loads. There are also two layout orientations namely Job Shop and Mass production procedures for fabrication products of the plant. Works Cited Seider, Warren D., and J. D. Seader.
