Question
Answer
Custom/Make to Order, Goods and Services   are generally produced and delivered as one of a kind or in small quantities, and are designed to meet specific customers specifications  
🗑
Option/Assemble to Order, Goods and Services   are configurations of standard parts, subassemblies, or services that can be selected by customers from a limited set  
🗑
Standard/Make to Stock, Goods and Services   are made according to a fixed design, and the customer has no option from which to choose  
🗑
Projects   are large scale, customized initiatives that consist of many smaller tasks and activities that must be coordinated and completed to finish on time and within budget  
🗑
Job Shop Processes   are organized around particular types of general purpose equipment that are flexible and capable of customizing work for individual customers specs  
🗑
Flow Shop Processes   are organized around a fixed sequence of activities and process steps, such as an assembly line, to produce a limited variety of similar goods or services  
🗑
Continuous Flow Process   creates highly standardized goods or services, usually around the clock in very high volumes  
🗑
Product Life Cycles   is a characterization of product growth, maturity, and decline over time (introduction, growth, maturity, decline)  
🗑
Product Process Matrix   is a model that describes the alignment of process choice the the characteristics of the manufactured good  
🗑
Service Positioning Matrix   suggests that the nature of the customers desired service encounter activity sequence should lead to the most appropriate service system design and that superior performance results by generally staying along the diagonal of the matrix  
🗑
Pathway   is a unique route through a service system. they can be customer driven or provider driven, depending on the level of control that the service firm wants to ensure  
🗑
Service Encounter Activity   consists of all the process steps and associated service encounters necessary to complete a service transaction and fulfill customer's wants and needs  
🗑
Customer Routed Services   are those that offer customers broad freedom to select the pathways that atre the best suited for their immediate needs and wants from many possible pathways through the service delivery system.  
🗑
Provider Routed Services   constrain customers to follow a very small number of possible and predefined pathways through the service system  
🗑
Task   a specific unit of work required to create an output  
🗑
Activity   a group of tasks (sometimes called a workstation) needed to create and deliver an immediate or final output  
🗑
Process   a group of activities  
🗑
Value Chain   a network of processes  
🗑
Process Map (flowchart)   describes the sequence of all process activities and tasks necessary to create and deliver a desired output or outcome  
🗑
Process Boundary   beginning or end of a procss  
🗑
Value Stream   refers to all value added activities involved in designing, producing, and delivering goods and services to customers  
🗑
Reengineering   has been defined as "the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign on business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of performance, such as cost, quality, service, and speed"  
🗑
Utilization   is the fraction of time a work station or individual is busy over the long run  
🗑
Throughput   the average number of entities completed per unit times the output rate  
🗑
Bottleneck   is the work activity that effectively limits throughput of entire process  
🗑
Flow Time, Cycle Time   is the average time it takes to complete one cycle of a process  
🗑
Capacity   is the capability of a manufacturing or service resource such as a facility, process, workstation, or piece of equipment to accomplish its purpose over a specified time period  
🗑
Economics of Scale   are achieved when the average unit cost of a good or service decreases as the capacity and/or volume or throughput increases  
🗑
Diseconomies of Scale   occur when the average unit cost of the good or service begins to increase as the capacity and/or volume of throughput increases  
🗑
Focused Factory   is a way to achieve economies of scale without extensive investments in facilities and a capacity by focusing on a narrow range of goods or services, target market segments, and/or dedicated processes to maximize efficiency and effectiveness  
🗑
Safe Capacity/Capacity Cushion   is an amount of capacity reserved for unanticipated events, such as demand surges, materials shortages, and equipment breakdowns  
🗑
Complementary Goods and Services   can be produced or delivered using the same resources available to the firm, but whose seasonal demand patterns are out of phase with each other  
🗑
Revenue Management System   consists of dynamic methods to forecast demand, allocate perishable assets across market segments, decide when to overbook and by how much, and determine what price to charge different customer classes  
🗑
Theory of Constraints (TOC)   is a set of principles that focus on increasing total process throughput by maximizing the utilization of all bottleneck work activities and workstations  
🗑
Throughput(TOC)   amount of money generated per time period through actual sales  
🗑
Constraint(TOC)   anything that limits an organization from moving toward or achieving its goal  
🗑
Physical Constraint   is associated with the capacity of resource  
🗑
Bottleneck Work Activity   is one that effectively limits capacity of the entire process  
🗑
Nonbottleneck Work Activity   is one in which idle capacity exists  
🗑
Nonphysical Constraint   is environmental or organizational  
🗑
