A "process" is any part of an organization that takes inputs and transforms them into outputs that, hopefully, are of greater value to the organization than the original inputs.

A process flowchart uses which of the following symbols to represent flows of material or customers in a flow diagram?

Setup time is the time required to prepare a process to produce a particular item.

Consider a three sequentially stepped process named as Process A, Process B and Process C.Input comes into Process A.Output form A goes into Process B.Output from B goes into Process C.Output of C is the final output.Suppose that it takes 2 minutes per unit in Process A, 3 minutes per unit in Process B and 1 minute per unit in Process C.Suppose further that Process A receives input at the rate of 30 per hour.Where would you place a buffer?

Inventory turn is the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory value.

A process flowchart uses symbols to represent which of the following?

Inventory turn is a better measure than the total value of inventory for comparative purposes because it is a relative measure.

Process analysis can help answer many important questions such as why change in a process is necessary.
