Inference
Company before establishing business and
plant can mould their policies.
Once selected and acquired, the organization
loses control over it
It is uncontrolled when the plant is an
expansion.
Volume of production can be controlled as per
demant and plant capacity

Once available. It can not be varied.

The process can be different for various plant

for the same production

It can be modified as per requirement,

innovation & availaibility during the course of
time.

The skill set and power can be revised as per

requirement
The company policies once set can decide this
factor
The equipment canbe revisited with audits and
revised
The plant layout considers this factor to
increase the operable time and lessen the
waiting period
This demands for storage capacity in the
process
To reduce the downtime, it has to be very
specific
Considering all the above points,this point is
finally desined in such a way that there is
scope for changes always
These are the factors which can be flexed as
per the demand without changing any of the
exisitng system. e.g. Transportation system.
