Any set of activities performed by an organization that takes inputs and trasforms them into outputs ideally of greater value to the organization that the original inputs | Process |
The average time between completions of successive units in a process | Cycle Time |
The ratio of the time that a resource is actually activated relative to the time that is available for use | Utilization |
A storage area between stages where the output of a stage is place prior to being used in a downstream stage | Buffering |
The activities in the stage must stop because there is no place to deposit the item just completed | Blocking |
The activities in a stage must stop because there is no work | Starving |
A resource that limites the capacity or maximum output of the process | Bottleneck |
A process that is activated only in response to an actual order | Made-to-Order |
A process that produces standard products that are stored in finished goods inventory | Made-to-Stock |
Combines the features of both make-to-order and make-to-stock | Hybrid |
Movement of items through a process is coordinated through a timing mechanism | Pacing |
The ratio of output to input. | Productivity |
The ratio fo the actual output of a process relative to some standard | Efficiency |
The time required to produce a batch of parts | Run time |
The time required to prepare a machine to make a particular item | Setup time |
The sum of the setup time and run time for a batch of parts that are run on a machine | Operation time |
The average time that it takes a unit to moe through an entire process | Flow time |
The output rate that the process is expected to produce over a period of time | Throughput rate |
The ratio of the total flow time to the value added time | Throughput ratio |
The time in which useful work is actually being done on the unit | Value-added time |
The total average investment in raw material, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory | Total average value of inventory |
The cost of goods sold divided by the total average value of inventory | Inventory Turn |
The number of days of inventory of an item | Days-of-Supply |
WIP=Flow Rate * Flow Time | Littles Law |
