Document Summary

Products: more costly (b/c more specific: when customization occurs late in sc: The greater the emphasis on physical activities, the more mgmt"s attention will be directed to capital expenditures (buildings, trucks), material costs, other tangible assets. Front room: point where customer interfaces directly with the org: back room: part of an org complete w/o direct customer contact. Step 3: determine the takt time = available prod time / required output rate max allowable cycle time. Step 4: compute the theoretical min # of workstations needed. Step 5: assign tasks to each workstation until takt time is reached. Step 1: identify potential locations and distances between them. Step 2: identify expected # of trips between depts. Step 3: attempt to assign locations to minimize total distance. Step 4: centrally located depts with multiple links to others. Step 5: swap pairs of depts to try to improve solution.
