EN To make their manufacturing processes more efficient, manufacturers need to create a proper environment complete with adequate working conditions. Such an environment forms a crucial part of the set of environmental factors that affect worker performance. Its immense importance becomes evident as soon as the environment is recognized as part of manufacturing systems in which processes are designed to help transform inputs into outputs, regardless of the manner in which such inputs and outputs are identified. Manufacturing processes are viewed as the way a manufacturer undertakes to achieve its objectives. Factors in the process environment may be seen as either disrupting or facilitating process flows. The classification of such factors depends on their nature and the severity of their impacts. The article focuses on selected essential impacts of such factors. It identifies the place and significance of disruptors and facilitators within process structure. It also describes the way in which the work environment affects process efficiency and defines the conditions necessary for environmental factors to augment processes.
