Process management in foundries
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents the nature of process management and the basic process analysis. A general model of process management in a foundry is showed. The essential activities of processing, systems and change management are described. There is also presented a problem of effectiveness, efficiency and processing improvement. The criteria, methods and techniques of process improvement are indicated. The importance of process approach to the improvement of foundry management system is underlined.
