Production flow analysis
Concept in operations management & industrial engineering
In operations management and industrial engineering, production flow analysis refers to methods which share the following characteristics:
- Classification of machines
- Technological cycles information control
- Generating a binary product-machines matrix (1 if a given product requires processing in a given machine, 0 otherwise)
Methods differ on how they group together machines with products. These play an important role in designing manufacturing cells.
