Concept explainers
a.
To determine: The four phases of manufacturing process appearing in product-process matrix.
Introduction:
Product life cycle: Each new commodity undergoes a cycle during its lifetime which is referred as product life cycle. The various strategies for production and operations can be identified at various stages of the life cycle of product. Basically, there are four stages; introduction stage, growth stage, maturity stage, and stabilize or decline stage.
b.
To determine: The disadvantages of operating off the diagonal of the matrix.

The products consist of two different sizes: 16 and 24 oz products in plastic bottles with sprayers attached (see picture below). These products can be run on several different filling lines so management has had difficulty in trouble shooting to determine which defects to tackle, what size product and production line to address first and as a consultant, you've been asked to help with the decision making process. Company executives have provided you with the data listed below, of numbers and costs of different types of defects experienced in the most recent runs of the lines (assume that these defects are out of a recent sample taken from each line, all in the same time frame so they are sharing the same plant-wide conditions). You learned from Purchasing that the containers are purchased from 2 suppliers and the sprayers are purchased from 1 supplier.
