Manufacturing and Scales of Production Flashcards
Talk about one off production
Also known as bespoke
making of a single component
One product at a time
Talk about batch production
batch production involves the making of similar products, batches can be of any sizes , and the system cna be changed quickly dependent on needs
Talk about high volume production
Also known as mass production, operating 24/7, there is a continous flow of production systems, generally is automated ,
Talk about modular or cell production
Modules or production cells are group to make a component or sub assembly for other products, for efficenty manfuacture
Talk about JIT manufacturing
Where material is supplied, with the change of consumer needs and demand and not all at once
Talk about bought in parts and components
Generally are standardised parts
WHat are the benefits of brought in parts
Quicker production, quality assured, economies of scale, reduced storage costs
What are the cons of brought in parts
Need to have reliable suppliers, longer times for orderinng , no control over quality
Talk about standardised parts
Common components needed in manufacturings
Talk about fully automated manufacture
Where no human presence is required
beenfits of robots
wont get injured
can contuously work
work in harzzard envri
easily prgrammed
cosn fo robots
high intial layour costs
can rbeak down
specialsit job to control them
some progmamign software isnt comaptibel with othe rsoftwarre
what factors need to eb cosnidered in manufacture
raw materials
peopel needed
processes required
adv of batch production
accurate adn fast production of parts
felixbile to demand
few skill workers requried due to automation
special editions
mass production methods
continuous flow production
inlien production
fully automated production
what is lean manufacture
a system that aims to redce waste and imporve oto ad value for custoemrs
what strategries does lean manfuacturign focus on
recution of stock and waste
the use of sigma 6
contuous improvements
relationships with custoemrs
multi skilled workers
ICT and manufacturing
CAD - to design parts
CAM and CNC to manfuacyure
Mass customisation
what is ddm
where files are sent direct to rpitners, digitl design manfuctuing
what is cim
computure intergated manufactures
how cim works
computures oberseeign all stages of brinign a rpodcut to market
beenfits of cim
efficnet intergration of maeterials and shti and flwo of manfucture
demand can be forecasetd
stock control capaiilites
didgital stock cotnrol, talk about it
can order parts a they are sued
automted guided cehicles
distrupution throguh optimum loadign patters
restocks with sales
buffer stocks
draw backs of digital stock cotnrols
data secutiry issues
set up and trianign costs
need for bck up systems
