provide bpmn $2\mathrm{.}0$ flowchart images The Production Process The production process does not occur in all companies

because not all companies produce physical goods. In fact, many businesses limit their activi$-$

ties to buying $($procurement$)$ and selling products $($e$.$g$.,$ retailers$).$

The production process can follow two different strategies: make$-$to$-$stock and make$-$to$-$

order. $($See the discussion of the pull model and the push model in Chapter $11.)$ Make$-$to$-$stock

occurs when the company produces goods to create or increase an inventory; that is$,$ finished

products that are stored in the warehouse and are available for sales. In contrast, make$-$to$-$

order occurs when production is generated by a specific customer order.

Manufacturing companies that produce their own goods manage their interdepartmental

production process across the Production and Warehouse departments. The production pro$-$

cess involves the following steps:

The Warehouse department issues a planned order when the company needs to produce a

finished product, either because the Warehouse has insufficient inventory or because the

customer placed a specific order for goods that are not currently in stock.

Once the planned order reaches Production, the production manager authorizes the order

and issues a production order, which is a written authorization to start the production of a

certain amount of a specific product.

To assemble a finished product, Production requires a number of materials $($or parts$).$ To

acquire these materials, Production generates a material withdrawal slip, which lists all of

the needed parts, and forwards it to the Warehouse.

CHAPTER $10$ Information Systems within the Organization

Departments and documents flow in the production process.

If the parts are available in the Warehouse, then the Warehouse delivers them to Produc$-$

tion. If the parts are not available, then the company must purchase them through the

procurement process.

After Production has created the products, it updates the production order specifying that,

as planned, a specific number of units of product now can be shipped to the Warehouse.

As soon as the Warehouse receives the finished goods, it issues a goods receipt document

that certifies how many units of a product it received that are available for sales.
