In any real case it is clear that the nature of the problem should focus your analysis. Instead, we have tried to show several steps that might be useful in an analysis. These steps are summarized below:
- Define the process. Determine the tasks and the flows of information and goods. Also, determine where it is possible to store goods in the process. This effort can be recorded in a process flow diagram. 
- Determine the range of capacity for the process. This will require an analysis of each task and a comparison of how these tasks are balanced. In addition determine the effect of storage in the system on the capacity of tasks and flows. Inventories may allow the process to operate out of balance for some time, but in the long run the capacity of the process is limited by the capacity of its slowest task.
- Determine the cost of inputs (labor, materials, energy and capital) and relate these costs to the output (a good or a service). This will result in the calculation of the average cost of a unit of output or the marginal cost of a unit of output or both. Once this is done it may be possible to determine the value of the output in some market by comparing the cost, quality and timeliness of this output to the needs of that market.
What is the second step to calculate the price of your final product or service?

Design Patterns
A design pattern is often posed as a question: how do we solve some design problem? However a design problem is, by its nature, nonspecific, and rarely has a single straight-forward answer. There might be several ways to solve the same problem, some better than others depending on the specific situation and the specific context of the problem. A design pattern is intended to share not just solutions but a better understanding of both the problem and how it might be solved. Firstly, patterns have a well-defined structure. This consistent layout makes it easy to browse through a collection of patterns to find relevant help and then dive further into the material. The structure encourages the author of the pattern to think carefully about the knowledge they're sharing, whilst making the material more consistently accessible to a reader.
