The key to process improvement is to clearly communicate process definitions (the way in which the company wants the processes to be carried out) to the people in charge of their execution (through training, process descriptions publication, etc...). The better process participants understand the process definition, the higher the probability that the process is carried out according to it. They are better implemented through obtaining buy-in than through imposing directives.
Multiple inputs to the process exist : Some of them would be competition, lifecycle stage of the market, brand image, budget, etc... ; Complex decisions are made : There are many possible ways to achieve the process objectives (reach planned sales, leverage brand image, etc...) ; Each decision implies different levels of risk and potential benefits : It is the responsibility of the worker to choose the best one (low price strategy, aggressive advertising campaign, etc...) ; There are three main characteristics that make knowledge processes different from highly structured processes: Focus is on communication instead of automation.
Linear Programming, mathematical and operations-research technique, used in administrative and economic planning to maximize the linear functions of a large number of variables, subject to certain constraints. The development of high-speed electronic computers and data-processing techniques has brought about many recent advances in linear programming, and the technique is now widely used in industrial and military operations. Linear programming is basically used to find a set of values, chosen from a prescribed set of numbers, that will maximize or minimize a given polynomial form and this is illustrated by the finished; the manufacturer knows that as many articles as are produced can be sold.
Initially, the basic rice cultivation process requires the complete preparation for the technological projects and the set-up of the milling plant. Many layouts, specifications, selection of appropriate milling equipments and units are planned for the efficient running of the milling industry. Further the assessment reports are also prepared keeping in mind the benefits with the selection of experienced personnel. There are different types of methods used in the rice milling industries. In the earlier days, conventional methods were used for paddy processing using the steel hullers and the rice processing process mentioned in the above flowchart was carried out manually.
