Understanding customer requirements
- Made ON-SITE
- Resources BOUGHT TO SITE
- SPECIAL, non-repeat
- ONE PERSON or SMALL GROUP
- STANDARD, repeat low to high volume
- Has to be RESET for each batch of products made
- MASS, repeat high volume
- DOES NOT have to be reset for different products
- MASS, repeat very high volume
- Process runs CONTINUOUSLY and never stops

| PROCESS type |
- MANUFACTURING PROCESSES must be:
- ALIGNED to its market ORDER-WINNERS and QUALIFIERS
- REFLECT its internal BUSINESS requirements
- Each PROCESS has a different set of TRADE-OFFS
- Although DEMAND CHANGES over time, most businesses will NOT RE-INVEST in a different process
- Choosing the RIGHT PROCESS for the life of a product will have a significant impact on its SALES REVENUE and PROFIT
Critical reflections
Summary
- Manufacturing processes must SUPPORT
- Technical and business requirements
- TECHNICAL requirements
- The product specification
- BUSINESS requirements
- Volumes and market order-winners and qualifiers
- Each process type has a different set of TRADE-OFFS
