Study Notes
Fundamentals of Manufacturing
- Manufacturing fundamentals cover materials, processes, production systems, manufacturing management, and quality management.
- Materials focus on understanding the properties and functionalities of various materials (e.g., metals, plastics, composites).
- Processes encompass diverse methods like machining, casting, forming, 3D printing, and assembly.
- Production systems involve planning and managing efficient production flows, considering factors like scheduling, inventory control, and quality assurance.
- Manufacturing management optimizes processes, resources, and personnel to meet production goals.
- Quality management establishes and maintains quality standards throughout the production process.
Resources of Production
- Production resources are inputs procured from outside and used in production processes.
- Economists classify resources into three groups: land (natural resources), labor (human effort), and capital (economic goods for reproduction - tools, machinery, factory, building, raw materials).
Resources of Production for Manufacturing Systems
- Production systems resources are categorized into four groups.
- Production objects: materials on which production activities are performed.
- Primary materials: raw materials, parts, etc. that construct the product.
- Auxiliary materials: added to primary materials (e.g., paints) or supplementary (e.g., electricity, lubrication oils).
- Production means: media used to convert raw materials into products.
- Direct production means: equipment that directly works on raw materials (e.g., machines, tools).
- Indirect production means: facilities that do not directly run productive activities (e.g., land, buildings).
- Productive labor: human ability (physical, spiritual, and mental) used for production activities.
- Production information: knowledge/intelligence to effectively implement production procedures.
- Production technology: objective engineering laws and empirical rules.
- Production techniques: subjective skills gained through training, experience, and intuition.
- Production knowledge-bases: expert systems based on production rules.
Production Processes
- Production is the process of converting resources, particularly raw materials, into tangible products.
- The process involves inputs (capital, materials, equipment, facilities, labor, knowledge, time), transformation (alteration, transportation, storage, inspection), and outputs (goods, facilitating goods, services).
Production Processes: Design and Product Development
- Concept and Planning: Designing, planning functionality, and feasibility of the product.
- Prototyping: Creating a preliminary version of the product for testing and design refinement.
Production Processes: Materials and Material Science
- Material Selection: Choosing appropriate materials based on product requirements (strength, flexibility, and durability).
- Material Properties: Understanding tensile strength, hardness, and thermal conductivity to meet product specifications.
Production Processes: Manufacturing Processes
- Forming: Shaping materials through casting, forging, and extrusion.
- Machining: Removing material from a workpiece using tools and machines (e.g., milling, turning, drilling).
- Joining: Assembling parts through welding, soldering, riveting, or adhesive bonding.
- Finishing: Enhancing surface quality and appearance (e.g., painting, coating, polishing).
Production Processes: Quality Control and Assurance
- Inspection and Testing: Ensuring products meet standards and tolerances through inspection.
- Quality Standards: Adhering to industry standards like ISO and ANSI to maintain consistency and reliability.
Production processes: Production Planning and Control
- Scheduling: Planning production runs, managing timelines, and optimizing resource use.
- Inventory Management: Controlling raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods to balance supply and demand.
Production Processes: Automation and Technology
- Automation: Implementing machinery and systems for minimal human intervention.
- Industry 4.0: Integrating technologies like IoT, AI, and robotics to improve efficiency and data analysis.
Production Processes: Safety and Ergonomics
- Workplace Safety: Ensuring worker safety and compliance with safety regulations.
- Ergonomics: Designing workspaces and processes to minimize physical strain and improve productivity.
Production Processes: Sustainability and Environmental Impact
- Waste Management: Minimizing and managing waste during manufacturing.
- Energy Efficiency: Reducing energy consumption and improving manufacturing sustainability.
Production Processes: Supply Chain Management
- Supplier Relationships: Managing relationships with suppliers for timely and cost-effective procurement of materials.
- Logistics: Coordinating the movement and storage of materials and finished products.
Manufacturing Productivity
- Productivity measures the effectiveness of the transformation process from raw materials to final products, calculated as input divided by output.
- Individual productivity example: completing 10 tasks in 2 hours is 5 tasks per hour.
- Organizational productivity example: producing 1000 products in 8 hours is 125 products per hour.
Manufacturing Efficiency
- Efficiency is the ability to perform a task within the specified standard time.
- Efficiency equals (standard time / actual time) multiplied by 100%. If the figure exceeds 100, the activity is deemed efficient.
- Factors influencing efficiency include subjective factors (worker skills, effort, and hours) and objective factors (technological innovation).
Production Organization
- A hierarchical structure in which production is organized by divisions like development, procurement, manufacturing, quality control, maintenance, manufacturing components, assembly, and in-house transport.
Industrial Engineering Role in Manufacturing
- Process Design and Improvement: Optimizing production layouts, selecting processes, and establishing quality control systems.
- Production Planning and Scheduling: Forecasting demand, managing inventory, and scheduling maintenance.
- Ergonomics and Work-Study: Designing workplaces and tasks for worker comfort and efficiency, conducting time and motion studies.
- Data Analysis and Continuous Improvement: Collecting data on various production aspects, identifying trends, implementing solutions, and improving ongoing performance.
