Study Notes
Lecture 2: Fundamentals of Manufacturing
- Manufacturing encompasses understanding materials, processes, production systems, manufacturing management, and quality management.
- Materials involve knowledge of different material properties (e.g., metals, plastics, composites).
- Manufacturing processes include machining, casting, forming, 3D printing, and assembly.
- Production systems focus on planning and managing efficient production flows (scheduling, inventory control, 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 purchased for goods' creation.
- Economists classify production resources into land (natural resources), labor (human effort), and capital (reproductive tools, machinery, and raw materials).
Resources of Production for Manufacturing Systems
- Production objects are materials used in production activities.
- Primary materials: raw materials, parts converted into products.
- Auxiliary materials: e.g., paints, electricity, lubricants used in the production process.
- Production means are resources used to convert raw materials into products.
- Direct production means: machinery, equipment, apparatus, jigs, tools, materials-handling equipment.
- Indirect production means: land, buildings, and warehouses.
- Productive labor: The physical, spiritual, and mental ability of individual workers involved in production activities.
- Production information is knowledge/intelligence/know-how to efficiently and effectively implement production processes. It includes:
- Production technology-objective engineering laws, empirical rules.
- Production techniques-subjective skills (training, experience, intuition).
- Production knowledge bases-expert systems based on production rules.
Production Processes
- The production process converts resources (especially raw materials) into tangible products.
- A production process includes inputs (capital, materials, equipment, facilities, suppliers, labor, knowledge, and time), transformation (alteration, transportation, storage, inspection), and outputs (products, services). The process also includes monitoring and control for measuring effectiveness.
Production Processes: Design and Product Development
- Concept and planning: Ideating and planning product design, functionality, and feasibility.
- Prototyping: Creating a preliminary product version for testing and refining.
Production Processes: Materials and Material Science
- Material selection: Choosing suitable materials based on product requirements (strength, flexibility, durability).
- Material properties: Understanding material properties (tensile strength, hardness, thermal conductivity) to meet product specifications.
Production Processes: Manufacturing Processes
- Forming: Shaping materials through casting, forging, and extrusion.
- Machining: Removing material from a workpiece (e.g., milling, turning, drilling).
- Joining: Assembling parts (e.g., welding, soldering, riveting, adhesive bonding).
- Finishing: Enhancing surface quality (e.g., painting, coating, polishing).
Production Processes: Quality Control and Assurance
- Inspection and testing: Ensures products meet standards and tolerances.
- Quality standards: Adherence to industry standards (e.g., ISO, ANSI) for consistency and reliability.
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.
- Automation: Implementing machinery for tasks with minimal human intervention.
- Industry 4.0: Integrating advanced technologies (IoT, AI, robotics).
Production Processes: Safety and Ergonomics
- Workplace safety: Ensuring manufacturing processes are safe for workers.
- Ergonomics: Designing workspaces to minimize physical strain and improve productivity.
Production Processes: Sustainability and Environmental impact
- Waste management: Minimizing waste.
- Energy Efficiency: Reducing energy consumption to improve sustainability.
Supply Chain Management
- Supplier relationships: Managing relationships for timely and cost-effective material procurement.
- Logistics: Coordinating the movement and storage of materials and finished goods.
Manufacturing Productivity
- Productivity is a measure of the effectiveness of converting raw materials into final products. Defined as Input / Output.
- Individual productivity-tasks completed/time spent.
- Organizational productivity-units produced/time spent.
Manufacturing Efficiency
- Efficiency is the capacity to perform a task within the specified standard time.
- Standard time / Actual Time= Efficiency %.
- Subjective factors include workers' skills technical ability and working effort.
- Objective factors include technological innovation and work environment.
Production Organization
- A hierarchical structure for production, quality control, development, procurement, manufacturing of components, assembly, maintenance, in-home transport.
Industrial Engineering Role in Manufacturing
- Process design & improvement, production planning & scheduling, ergonomics & work study, data analysis, continuous improvement.
