Abstract
The characteristics matrix is a tool to describe the relationship between product characteristics and process operations. It has been used traditionally with only descriptive purposes and analysed with a very limited intuitive approach. In this paper we present a methodology to analyse deeply the process structure using the information contained in the characteristics matrix. We apply the principles of the mic-mac method to study both direct and indirect internal relations, defining importance criteria and identifying the most important characteristics and operations.
