Evaluation and Redesign of a Solar Manufacturing Business Process

This website presents a formal process modeling and analysis project focused on First Solar. The project evaluates the current operational framework, identifies process weaknesses, proposes a redesigned business model, and supports the redesign through simulation, pricing analysis, operation analysis, decision analysis, customer strategy, and workforce planning.

The selected business area focuses on production continuity, demand planning, pricing behavior, supplier coordination, quality control, customer retention, workforce capability, and long-term operational scalability. Each section is structured to support upper-management review using formal technical writing and analytical evidence.
