PROCESS DESIGN [2 records]

Record 1 1992-12-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering
CONT

Is more process design done than product design? (Design of the production method rather than the product).

OBS

Process development cycle. Three stages can be identified in the development of a manufacturing process.

OBS

"Design", not "development", is the accurate equivalent of "conception". Once the process has been designed it is further developed. "Design" is thus the first step in the "development" of a process.

OBS

Do not confuse the design of the production method with the "production system design". See the record for this latter term as well.

French
