Process Selection
Process selection refers to the way production of goods or services is organised.
Three primary questions to be addressed before deciding on process selection are:
(i) How much variety of products or services will the system need to handle?
(ii) What degree of equipment flexibility will be needed?
(iii) What is the expected volume of output?
