AAOM Handbook

Quantity

• One list of potential (technically feasible) Production Strategies.

Quality

The following criteria shall be used to compile the list of potential Service Strategies; • If there is an incremental process design or technology, with proven or probable suitable operating characteristics, then consider the option to modify process design. • If the Capability Histogram of operating time has either wide distribution, or a gap between the distribution location and the theoretical range of locations, then consider the option to change operating times. • If the Capability Histogram of operating rate has either wide distribution, or a gap between the distribution location and the theoretical range of location(s), then consider the option to change operating rates. • If the Capability Histogram of input quality has either wide distribution, or a gap between the distribution location and the theoretical range of location(s), then consider the option to change input quality. • If the Capability Histogram of output quality has either wide distribution, or a gap between the distribution location and the theoretical range of location(s), then consider the option to change output quality.

Time

The Production Strategy shall be specified during establishment of a process.

Review and validation of Production Strategy shall be based on either a change of targets driven by changing business expectations or the benefit ranking of improvement opportunities identified through analysis of performance.

Resources

Specification of Production Strategy is the accountability of the role identified in the configured flowchart.
