Industrial Engineering

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Industrial Engineering.

• Flow process chart — Record the ordered activities experienced by a person, material, or equipment item using the standardized operation, transport, inspection, delay, and storage categories so movement and waiting become analyzable work-study evidence.
• Production flow analysis — A manufacturing-system analysis that groups products and machines from routing data to design production cells and simplify material flow.
• Single-minute exchange of die — Reduce production changeover by observing the existing setup, separating work that requires a stopped process from work that can occur while it runs, externalizing feasible tasks, and simplifying the remaining internal work toward single-digit minutes.
