Activity-in-Diagram: Develop Factory Requirement
Creator
Description
'Develop Factory Requirement' is an activity to transform product information into factory re-quirements. Product Information includes information about one or more products to be manufactured. To derive factory requirements, various types of information need to be taken into account such as existing resources, budget, time and administrative information. Factory requirements must be built to satisfy all the constraints suggested by the information and also to efficiently meet the product demands. Such factory requirements satisfying all the constraints identified in A1 are used to drive other activities including A2, A3 and A4 in various manners.
The A1 activity can be applied to development of an entirely new factory or a new production line in an existing factory. It can also be used to reengineer an existing factory or production line to adapt to the changing products, processes, and performance requirements. For example, the same set of activities in the FDI model may be performed slightly differently in the various situations of a new product introduction. If new location candidates are available, A12 addresses alternatives for new factory development. Otherwise, A12 addresses only engineering or enhancing an existing factory. All other activities are similar in this respect. In other words, they may be performed differently for design or improvement activities.
