    6-1 Process Selection and Facility Layout

    PROCESS SELECTION

    1. Refers to the way an organization


    chooses to produce its good or services.
    2. It takes into account selection of
    technology, capacity planning, layout of
    facilities, design of work systems.
    3. Process selection is a natural extension
    after selection of new products and
    services .
    6-2 Process Selection and Facility Layout
