A pragmatic view on process capability studies

Article Abstract:

The advantages and disadvantages of process capability studies are evaluated and some examples of how the results from process capability studies can be employed are discussed. Process capability studies are used for monitoring the capability of a process based on some kind of data collection from the process. The results of a survey conducted on 97 Swedish organizations that use process capability studies on a regular basis are presented and recommendations for using process capability studies are given.

Creating a model of process innovation for reengineering of business and manufacturing

Article Abstract:

A basic model of process innovation aimed at improving assessment of process innovation initiatives and projects in business and manufacturing processes to direct development activities towards the necessary goals is described. Two main flows of action are involved in the model, namely, the top-down flow wherein the elements of reengineering are divided into background, process and outcome elements, and the left to right flow, which describes basic relations between the model's core elements.

Simulating the impact of process capability on lot sizes in batch manufacturing

Article Abstract:

A simulation model is used to determine the effect of process capability on batch size determination and the factors which affect work-in-process inventory costs. Conventional manufacturing systems depend on lot sizing models and setup costing to find batch sizes. However, this method does not address all factors. The simulation shows that processing larger batches are more economical because process capability is not ideal.
