 Standardization – Standardization is the process of
defining and applying the conditions necessary to ensure that
a given range of requirements can normally be met with a
minimum variety and in a reproducible and economic
manner on the basis of the best current technique.
 Simplification – Simplification is the process of
reducing the number of types of products within a definite
range.
 Specialization – Specialization is the process whereby a
particular form concentrates on the manufacture of a limited
number of products or types of products.
