A

Lean methods aim for little to no waste in time, labour, materials and processes with the purpose of improving value for the customer

24
Q

Just in time manufacturing

A

A process of ordering supplies only as they’re required

25
Agile manufacturing
A flexible and responsive style of manufacturing that allows the manufacturer to change production with little notice and without requiring expensive changes in tooling
26
OH&S
Occupational health and safety. OH&;S regulations are used to ensure that workers carry out safe practices in a safe environment, and that they are not injured or harmed
27
OH&S all businesses are legally obliged to provide
safe premises. Safe machinery and materials. Safe systems of work. Information, instruction, training and supervision. A suitable working environment and facilities
28
The product development process
1. Identifying a need and defining the product concept 2. Research, analysis, review 3. Product design, planning and prototype 4. Production and distribution 5. Retail and consumer use 6. Product evaluation and modification.
29
1.Identifying a need and defining the product concept
Involves the manufacturer, designer, inventors, marketing team and customers. It's role is to generate ideas and how the company manages the business to create value through manufacturing
30
2.Research, analysis and review
*Happens throughout every stage* Involves scientists and engineers, market researchers and designers. Role is to find information about market needs, like products, innovative use of materials and production process
31
3. Product design, planning and prototype
Involves designers, engineers, financial advisors, company directors, and bankers. Role is to collect all research to develop a solution
32
4. Production and distribution
Involves manufacturing staff and workers, materials producers, financial staff, quality controllers, maintenance workers, sales and marketing. It's role is to produce the products and put distribution methods into operation
33
5. Retail and consumer use
Involves retailers, customers and market researchers. | Roles is to sell the product
34
6. Production evaluation and modification.
Involves the manufacturer financial staff and market researchers. Role is to see what needs to be improved etc
35
Sustainability models
Design for the environment, life cycle assessment, cradle to cradle concept, design for disassembly and extended producer responsibility
36
Sustainability models | Design for the environment
Aims to reduce the impact of sourcing materials, use less hazardous materials and packaging, and reduce waste and pollution
37
Sustainability models | Life cycle assessment
The examination of a product from the sourcing and processing of the raw material, through manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal
38
Sustainability models | Cradle to cradle concept
Emphasises a recycling process for the end of life of a product, so that the materials continue to be used
39
Design for disassembly
Aims for easy repair, minimal different types of materials in a product and easy identification of materials to make recycling easier
40
Sustainability models | Extended producer responsibility
Recognises that many people have a shared responsibility for the environmental of a product
41
Obsolescence
A product becomes obsolete when it is - no longer useable - out of date - replaced by a more efficient product
42
Planned obsolescence Manufacturer Advantages
- economic benefits (more products sold) - business continues to evolve - staff can be up skilled
43
Planned obsolescence Manufacturer Disadvantages
- need to invest in reskilling and new technology | - constant attention To the product development process
44
Planned obsolescence Environment and society Advantages
- increased employment and wealth for the community - increased level of hygiene through use of disposable products - many products make life easier
45
Planned obsolescence Environment and society Disadvantages
- increased waste - contributes to air, water, and land pollution - uses up resources - requires a lot of energy
46
R&D
Research and development
47
How is R&D important to manufacturers
Important to - try alternative materials - invent new materials - materials that a cheap and high quality - trying alternative processes - keeping technology up to date - checking the competition - developing new equipment - patents and publication - purchasing sample s
48
New and emerging technologies How it influences design and manufacturing
Robotics, fibre optics and the microchip, laser technology, computer aided design Makes the product more appealing, advanced and high tech
