Transport function

Transport function is a useful function that changes a position of its object in space.

Overview

The transport function is one of the three types of providing functions (alongside supporting and measurement) that can be performed within operations (components) of an engineeiring system that is a process.

As a providing function, it is valued lower than productive function but higher than the corrective one in the function ranking. In the most commonly used scoring system, it receives 2 points.

It is important to remember that a function that changes a position of its object in space can be classified as a providing transport function unless transport is the main function of the process. If it is, then it will be considered a productive function.
