Job flow refers to a continuous sequence of multiple job activities combined in order and relevance. Usually, what we call workflow refers to the production workflow. Of course, workflow also includes some other types, such as distribution workflow, logistics workflow and so on.
It is worth mentioning that work flow can also be called process or process route, that is, the specific process sequence, process steps and manufacturing process to realize the production process, which are obviously closely related to manufacturing and often appear in the manufacturing process. Below, we will focus on the production workflow and introduce the workflow in detail.
Production process, that is, the sequence of multiple production activities. Usually, in the manufacturing process, there is much discussion. The specific production process usually includes the whole process consisting of multiple production activity procedures, including production operation planning, product raw material procurement, production preparation and manufacturing, and final product production completion, packaging and storage. It is an extremely complicated operation process.
Moreover, different industries and different types of enterprises have different production processes, such as: process manufacturing enterprises (such as petrochemical enterprises) and discrete manufacturing enterprises (aircraft manufacturing enterprises), home appliance manufacturing enterprises and automobile manufacturing enterprises, automobile engine manufacturing enterprises and automobile tire manufacturing enterprises, etc., and their specific production processes are different. Therefore, the management methods are also very different.
