the activities and processes used in making tangible products; also called production

activities and processes used in making both tangible and intangible products

inputs are converted to outputs; controlled by taking feedback and comparing it to established standards

has become popular among businesses for the purpose of manufacturing certain items more efficiently and inexpensively

nature and consumption of output

marketing research determines product

the making of identical interchangeable components of products

creation of item in self-contained units that can be combined or interchanged to create different products

making products to meet a particular customer's needs or wants

maximum load that an organizational unit can carry or operate; can be stated in terms of inputs or outputs;planning too low results in unmet

complex and costly decision

proximity to market

layout that brings all resources required to create the product to a central location

Companies using fixed-position layout because it is typically involved in large complex projects such as construction or exploration

layout that organizes the transformation process intodepartments that group related processes

deal with products of a lesser magnitude than project organization

layout requiring production to be broken down into relatively simple tasks assigned to workers

companies that use continuously running assembly lines creating products

design of components

employs specialized computer systems to actually guide and control the transformation process

direction of machinery by computers to adapt to different versions of similar operations

complete system that designs products
