Introduction and background

In this organization’s interest, the crew could be running on HP as a product and might be

exploring methods of delivering extremely good products to purchasers. Some of the questions

had been asked that helped in presenting higher information about the selected product. HP

agency (also called HP in English) is an American Multinational facts generation corporation

situated in Palo Alto, California, USA. It develops private computer systems, printers, and

associated resources, in addition to 3-d printing answers.

Product or service

We’ve decided on HP business enterprise to finish the accomplishment of the tasks listed.

Certainly one of HP Corporation’s merchandise is the HP+ smarter printing machine: making

use of technology in the HP+ machine and as compared to HP popular consumer printers without

HP+. HP+ printers are geared up for connectivity utilizing smart drivers and the print/scan

medical doctor era is safer and cozy thanks to the smart protection era, effective with HP smart

Market and customer

For 2020, the global Printer market generated USD forty two.35 billion in sales. Using 2026, it's

far expected to reach USD fifty-four. Eighty-three billion, representing a CAGR of 4.55 percent

from 2021 to 2026. People commenced stockpiling lockdown requirements while COVID-19

broke out, and this practice helped the house printer marketplace enlarge notably during

paintings-from-domestic situations. For example, Brother Industries confined, which more often

than not serves the home marketplace, had a spike in call for and income of its momo laser

printers of 30% and its color laser printers of 42% from April to June 2020.

The worldwide Printing enterprise is experiencing a good sized upsurge in emerging markets

which includes China, India, and the ASEAN place. latest instances such as HP added the

world's first and maximum high-potential HP in no way stop Laser printers within the Indian

market, offering affordability and reducing not unusual printing interruptions through

improvements and digital integration. (Mordor intelligence, n.d.)

HP clever Printer has an international leadership position. The existing worldwide market size of

HP clever printers: InkJet printer 39, 8%; Laser printer forty-three.3%; Lager layout 50.2%; big

format production 23.7%; and digital press label plus Packaging product forty-six. 3%. Increase

and development in strategic regions by more than 10% (Press HP, 2020).

Type of process

Production process management refers to an aggregate of technologies and modus operandi used

to define how to manufacture a service or product. Operations classify processes into types of

products and services. Groups chose the procedure layout primarily based on the volume,

variety, marketplace call for, the nation of raw materials, and availability of resources for the

service or product they offer. There are six well-known classes of producing methods kinds:

repetitive manufacturing, discrete production, process shop manufacturing, batch production

manufacturing, and continuous process manufacturing. Within the Nineteen Eighties, the 6th

process was made in the shape of 3-D printing due to the industry specialists’ argument

concerning technological advancements (Bligh, 2020).

3-d printing approaches can produce 3-d dimensional gadgets whilst layer with the aid of layer of

substances is deposited in keeping with the additives of a three-D digital model. Many

companies inside the manufacturing industry like Ford and Boeing and Nike and Hersey’s are

utilizing the three-D production method. in short put, the 3-D printing technique makes

manufacturing feasible in many approaches (Bligh, 2020).

Using a virtual production community listing is appropriate for HP, because it hastens the

enterprise's digital transformation, allows fast innovation, quicker time to market, distributes

production, and permits a leaner delivery chain. HP personalization and 3-d printing can flip any

huge or small, easy or complicated idea right into a fact (HP, 2022).

Layout type

Layout kinds are a means to explain which and the way assets are organized physically within a

manner. These categories may additionally depend on the quantity and nature of the products and

offerings that corporations tactics (James. 2011a).

The organization format used in our case takes a look. This method combines the adaptability of

the system layout with the effectiveness of the product format. This method can reduce work-in-

manner and decrease process variability. It is also adaptable enough to remember changes in

production quantity and product layout. If you want to respond to the renewal of product

functionalities, the format fashion is maximum perfect for the agency's diverse markets in North

the USA, Europe, and Asia.

Objectives

● Transporting and handling of materials are correctly reduced.

 Group Activity Part-I 8

● by using casting off bottlenecks and congested areas, uncooked materials and semi-completed

products can move speedily from one pc to the following.

● Workstations are well-designed and appropriate.

● Manufacturing and carrier centers are given the appropriate spaces.

● The workers made the fewest viable moves (James, 2011a).

The layout may be classified into the subsequent four classes:

1. Technique layout

2. Product format

3. Institution format (mixture format)

4. constant-position layout

Process layout

1. It is often called the functional format.

2. Located here are comparable devices and services. As an example, all the lathes may be in a

single region, all the milling machines in another area, and so forth.

3. This style of structure is normally utilized in industries that produce goods in single-off, non-

repetitive jobs.

4. We want this kind of fashion whilst a variety of products are produced in small portions.

5. Examples consist of a café or a corporation that manufactures furnishings (James, 2011a).

Product layout

• Another name for it is line (type) layout.

• The product will drift easily and logically.

 Group Activity Part-I 9

• We pick this configuration when the machines and ancillary offerings are positioned by the

processing order.

• It indicates that distinct raw material techniques are carried out sequentially, and the styles of

the system are placed along the product drift line.

The product format is chosen when a product may be manufactured on a separate production line

due to its high quantity of production.

• This sort of arrangement is favored for meeting line production or mass manufacturing.

Examples consist of the development of pc keyboards and tv sets (James, 2011a).

Group layout

1. It combines the layouts for each tactic and merchandise.

2. In this form of structure, a set of equipment or system is accumulated in a quarter where every

institution is hired to carry out associated tasks to create a circle of relatives of components.

Cells include these machines in diverse companies.

3. It reduces the entire cost of gadgets and transportation (James, 2011a).

Fixed position layout

• The bodily parameters of the product outline the kind of machinery and personnel which are

introduced to the product; that is referred to as a static product format.

• This design is critical to the construction of large strain vessels, aircraft, and ships.

• In a specific sort of arrangement, the product travels beyond the desk-bound production system,

however in this situation, personnel and equipment are introduced to the material in one place,

and the product is completed there (James, 2011a).

 Group Activity Part-I 10

Facility location

This region is located in Tunis Economic City, as it is an important city and contains a lot of

heavy and light industries that are comprehensive and environmentally friendly at the same time.

It is called (an industrial city), so it is the most suitable city for facilities that manufacture

smartphones.

Process technology

Mechanized & Automated

The manufacture of smartphones requires special mechanisms in addition to modern

technologies that contribute significantly to improving product quality and reaching customers

because it is necessary to produce several units that cover the market need (Citeman, 2007).

Product/service and process design

A product is a tangible right or thing that is bodily made to be had to satisfy a need, while a

provider is an intangible top this is similarly geared toward meeting desires. they're offered by

way of businesses to make earnings. Product and service design are procedures that contain

organizing opportunities and troubles and developing practical and relevant answers (Babich,

2018). Process layout is a system that governs work sports that create prices while establishing

and assigning duties (Bodt, 2017).

HP’s supply chain allows the protection and empowerment of its personnel, whilst concurrently

lowering environmental effects and increasing value for clients. The maximum applicable factors

of the design process for HP organizations are as follows:

1. Idea generation

2. Feasibility examination
 Group Activity Part-I 11

3. Initial layout

4. Very last layout

Feasibility takes a look at is critical and one of the maximum pertinent factors to recollect within

the layout system, thinking of the selected product. A product is subjected to market, financial,

and technical examination as part of the feasibility observation manner to decide its likelihood of

fulfillment as soon as it enters the market. This consists of discussing the product's capability to

address problems with clients as you examine the design concept, evaluating calls for projections

to production and shipping prices, and ensuring the product may be produced technically.

(James, 2011b).

Work and job design
