Products, services and the processes which produce them all have to be designed.
Decisions taken during the design of a product or service will have an impact on the decisions taken during the design of the process which produces those products or services and vice versa.

4.6
The design of products/services and processes are interrelated and should be treated together
Products and services should be designed in such a way that they can be created effectively.
Product/service design has an impact on the process design and vice versa. Processes should be designed so they can create all products and services which the operation is likely to introduce.

4.7
In manufacturing operations overlapping the activities of product and process design is beneficial. In most service operations the overlap between service and process design is implicit in the nature of service.

Designing processes
There are different process types. Process types are defined by the volume and variety of items they process. Process types go by different names depending on whether they produce products or services.

High levels of customer (client) contact. Clients spend a considerable time in the service process. High levels of customization with service processes being highly adaptable. Contact staff are given high levels of discretion in servicing customers. People-based rather than equipment-based.

After the overall design of a process has been determined, its individual activities must be configured. The detailed design of a process involves:
identifying all the individual activities that are needed to fulfil the objectives of the process,
deciding on the sequence in which these activities are to be performed and who is going to do them.

4.21
Process Mapping
Process mapping involves describing processes in terms of how the activities within the process relate to each other There are many techniques which can be used for process mapping (or process blueprinting, or process analysis, as it is sometimes called). Mapping techniques:
identify the different types of activity that take place during the process and show the flow of materials or people or information through the process

The swim lanes represent the area of involvement of each participant who has a role in the processes being mapped. The participant may be an individual, a team, a department or an organisation.

SIPOC Defined
SIPOC is an acronym standing for 1. S = Supplier(s) 2. I = Input(s) & key requirements 3. P = Process 4. O = Output(s) & key requirements 5. C = Customer(s)

Note, however, that the total amount of work needed to make and sell a sandwich has not reduced. All the new process has done is to move some of the work to a less busy time. So the work content (the total amount of work required to produce a unit of output) has not changed but customer throughput time (the time for a unit to move through the process) has improved.

Throughput efficiency
Throughput efficiency is the work content of whatever is being processed as a percentage of its throughput time
Throughput efficiency =
100

From littles law; Throughput time = WIP Cycle time Throughput time = 15000 0.096 = 1440 minutes = 24 hours = 3 days of working Throughput efficiency = Work content Throughput time time = 25 1440 = 1.74 %
Although the process is achieving a throughput time of 3 days (which seems reasonable for this kind of process) the applications are only being worked on for 1.74 % of the time they are in the process.

These sources of variation interact with each other to give two fundamental types of variability:
Variability in the demand for processing at an individual stage within the process, usually expressed in terms of variation in the inter-arrival times of units to be processed. Variation in the time taken to perform the activities (i.e. process a unit) at each stage.
