Intended learning outcomes: Describe the basic process analysis (BPA) using the example of an aluminum frame. Present in detail the company-internal layout using this example process.
Figure 4.8.3.1 shows the company-internal layout at Pedal Works Company, a bicycle manufacturer.
Fig. 4.8.3.1 Company-internal layout with an example process.
Based on the basic process analysis shown in Figure 4.8.3.2, pencil in the paths an aluminum bicycle frame will take through the layout.
Solution: Compare your results to the result in Fugure 4.3.2.1.

Course section 4.8: Subsections and their intended learning outcomes
4.8 Scenarios and Exercises
Intended learning outcomes: Differentiate between various concepts for planning & control within the company. Using process charts for synchronization between use and manufacturing with inventory control processes. Elaborate a basic process analysis as well as manufacturing processes in the company-internal layout.
4.8.1 Scenario: Concepts for Planning & Control within the Company
Intended learning outcomes: Identify different companies together with their products or product families where different concepts would be adequate for planning & control. Disclose the branch of industry the company is in and the production type(s) the company does implement for these products or product families.
4.8.2 Exercise: Synchronization between Use and Manufacturing with Inventory Control Processes
Intended learning outcomes: Explain decoupling of procurement or production from demand for two examples.
4.8.3 Exercise: Basic Process Analysis (BPA) and Manufacturing Processes in the Company-Internal Layout
Intended learning outcomes: Describe the basic process analysis (BPA) using the example of an aluminum frame. Present in detail the company-internal layout using this example process.
