Product Process Matrix

The document discusses the product process matrix, which analyzes the fit between a product and its related processes over the product lifecycle. It describes five main project processes: job shop, batch process, assembly line, continuous flow, and concludes with the benefits of using a product process matrix to align products and processes and inform strategic planning.

INTRODUCTION
The product process matrix was developed by
Robert H. Hayes and Steven Wheelwright.
First published in the Harvard Business
Review in 1979.
provides organizations with a tool to estimate
the progress of a product and its related
processes.
The product process matrix merges the
product lifecycle, which encompasses all
aspects of the product development process—
from ideation to a product’s growth or decline.
It analyzes the fit between a chosen product
positioning and its related processes.
Product Process Matrix
WHY PPM?
01
Invites broader thinking about
organizational competence and
competitive advantage.

02 Used to identify business


opportunities and guide investment
decisions.

03
To educate teams, stakeholders,
and departments within the
organization on the product-
process lifecycle of a project.
WHY PPM?
04
Provides a pathway to more informed
predictions and strategic responses to
industry shifts and changes.

05
Enables greater involvement during
planning, leading to better alignment
among departments and the
organization as a whole.

06
Through the use of the matrix, take
the opportunity to incorporate the
voice of the customer into the process
flow and the products or services.
PROJECT PROCESS

A project process is a sequence of actions or stages that are carried out in a planned,
methodical way to accomplish particular project goals. A project's success depends on
efficient project processes. They offer an organised method for managing project
resources, reducing risks, and making sure that project goals are met on schedule, on
budget, and with the acceptable level of quality.

What is Jobshop? A job shop is a type of manufacturing process in


which small batches of a variety of custom
products are made.

In the job shop process flow, most of the products


produced require a unique set-up and sequencing
of process steps.

Job shops are usually businesses that perform


custom parts manufacturing for other businesses.

The unit makes each product according to


customer specifications, i.e., it makes bespoke
products.

It deals in customization.

What is Assembly
Line When the demand for a specific standardized product or service is
high enough, firms can move towards an assembly line setup. The
streamlined line setup follows a connected line flow that produces
large volumes of standardized products as per customer demand.

Due to the standardization factor and streamlined process flow,


efficiency can not only be achieved but it is also measured as a key
performance indicator in assembly line setups. Business and
service providers operating using the assembly line set up usually
depend heavily on technology and automation of different
processes.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ASSEMBLY LINE

Division of Labor
Assembly line production is
characterized by a division of labor,
with each worker performing a specific
task in the production process.

Specialization

Each worker specializes in a specific


task, which allows for greater efficiency
and productivity.

Flow Production
Assembly line production is characterized by a
continuous flow of materials and products, with
each worker adding their task to the product as
it moves along the assembly line.

Continuous Improvement

Assembly line production is characterized by


continuous improvement, with the aim of
increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

CONTINUOUS FLOW

Continuous flow also referred to as single-piece flow, is an alternative to batch


production. As the name suggests, continuous flow moves a single product into stages
of the manufacturing process instead of producing items in batches. This approach
requires sequential product flow in one production line.

In batch production, materials are grouped in lots and moved to the next operation
where they usually in the queue waiting to be processed until the downstream operation
is ready. Batch production builds work-in-process that could have been eliminated
using a continuous flow method. Single piece flow allows you to carry no work-in-
process inventory, save costs, and time.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BATCH AND
CONTINUOUS FLOW
EXAMPLES Oil Refineries

Food and Beverage


Manufacturers

Paper Manufacturers

Cement Manufacturers
BATCH PROCESS

Batch process is a method of manufacturing where the products are made as specified groups
or amounts, within a time frame. A batch can go through a series of steps in a large
manufacturing process to make the final desired product.

Batch process is used for many types of manufacturing that may need smaller amounts of
production at a time to ensure specific quality standards or changes in the process.
EXAMPLES OF BATCH PROCESS

Pharmaceuticals (substances with medical properties)

Agrochemicals(pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides)

Dyestuffs(food dyes, clothing dyes, industrial dyes)

Food additives(preservatives, enhancers, the 'E's in food)

Perfumes

Vitamins

Pigments
ADVANTAGES OF BATCH PROCESS

Good for small amounts of speciality chemicals


Make a range of products using same equipments
Can schedule maintenance & inspections to equipment in between batches
Good for developing new products
Easier to scale up from lab scale
Generally cheaper set up costs
Employees understand the process well
DISADVANTAGES OF BATCH PROCESS

Frequent start up and shutdown of equipment- DOWNTIME!!!


Cleaning time between batches
May be batch to batch variability
Not good for bulk chemical production
