Study Notes
Manufacturing System Basics
- The primary function of a manufacturing system is to transform inputs into outputs through a series of value-added processes.
Key Components
- A workstation refers to a specific location in a manufacturing system where a particular task or operation is performed.
- A production line consists of a series of workstations, arranged in a specific sequence, where a product is assembled or manufactured.
- Equipment in a manufacturing system includes machines, tools, and devices used to perform tasks, operations, or processes.
Material Handling
- In a multi-station manufacturing system, the material handling function that involves positioning work units at each station is called loading.
Work Transport
- There are two general categories of work transport in multi-station manufacturing systems: continuous transport and intermittent transport.
Defining Manufacturing Systems
- Manufacturing systems are defined and distinguished by factors such as production volume, product variety, and production process.
Workload and Workstations
- The workload in a manufacturing system is defined as the amount of work to be performed by the system.
- In the context of the number of workstations in a manufacturing system, n represents the total number of workstations.
