Three requirements of production
- build ab deliver products in response to the demand of the customer at a scheduled delivery time.
- to provide an acceptable quality level
- provide everything at the lowest cost possible
Assemble process
Puts together components to make a product
Continuous process
It is one in which long production runs turn out finished goods over time
Intermittent process
It is the production which runs short in respond if the specific customers orders
CAD
Computer-Aided Design
Allow designers to work in three dimensions
CAM
Computer-Aided manufacturing
Make it possible to custom-design products to meet the needs of small markets with very little increase in cost
CIM
CAD and CAM united
CIM is expensive but it cuts as much as 80% if the tine needed to program machines to make parts
Flexible manufacturing
It means designing machines to do multiple tasks so they can produce a variety of products.
Work can be done without human.

Things when companies choose their locations
1 labor cost 2 available of resources 3 access to transportation (time to market) 4 proximity to suppliers 5 crime rates 6 quality of life for employees 7 cost of living 8 the need to train or retain the local workforce
Assembly line layout
Only doing a few task at a time
-large series/mass
Process layout
Order which products visit functions dependent on design of item, –>flexible
- Large series/mass
- Process
Cellular or module layout
Teams of workers combine to produce more complex units of the final products
- large series/mass
- unit/small series
Fixed-position layout
Different workers come together to work on a fixed object
-unit
