Evaluate the production process.

Evaluation should include

  • description of how the individual tasks affect the production line as a whole
  • identification of bottlenecks in the process
  • inspection of production output
  • suggestions for improving the line process.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How well did an individual task fit into the production of the product? What caused difficulty?
  • What happened in the production line that could be improved?
  • How can evaluation of one production process benefit future designs?
  • What is meant by the concept that “production processes are an evolution of manufacturing"?
