Production Process Design and Validation Features and Functions
Production process design and validation takes the conceptual design of the production processes and provides additional detail required to roll the process out into production. Activities included in production process design and validation include the development of detailed work instructions to provide to plant personnel and evaluating production processes to determine their cycle times.

Time Estimation
Time estimation is the process of objectively determining rates for operations. There are a number of standards in use today, with the purpose of providing a cycle time for an operation that is supportable based on common criteria. In addition, time estimation can lead to the identification of process improvements that can reduce cycle times and improve efficiency and throughput.

Work Instructions
Work instructions are the detailed view of the work that must be performed to produce a product. These instructions document and communicate the manufacturing process in a way that is repeatable and easily understood by the plan personnel, leading to more standard processes and higher quality products. Work instructions bring together the parts being produced, the operations and activities required to produce it, and any additional resources requires (such as tools, jigs, etc.) to provide a single view of the job to be performed.
