    Study Notes

    Operations in Manufacturing

    • Loading is composed of picking up a part, placing part in jig, and closing jig
    • Operations can be categorized by function into:
      • Materials handling and transporting (change in position of the product)
      • Processing (change in volume and quality, including assembly and disassembly)
      • Packaging (special processing, may be temporary or permanent for shipping)
      • Inspecting and testing (comparison to the standard or check of process behavior)
      • Storing (time lapses without further operations)

    Manufacturing and Production Systems

    • Manufacturing processes change the value and quality of materials
    • Defective processes produce poor quality or scrap
    • Operations performed by machines that do material processing usually add value
    • Treatments operate continuously on the workpiece, altering or modifying the product-in-process without tool contact

    Design, Materials, and Processes

    • The elements of design, materials, and processes are closely related, each affecting the performance of the device and the other elements
    • The choice of materials and processes can significantly impact cost

    Changing World Competition

    • Three major changes in the world of goods manufacturing have taken place:
      • Worldwide competition for global products and their manufacture
      • High-tech manufacturing or advanced technology
      • Efforts to improve the methodology of goods production

    Manufacturing System Designs

    • Five manufacturing system designs can be identified:
      • Job shop (characterized by large varieties of components, general-purpose machines, and a functional layout)
      • Flow shop
      • Linked-cell shop
      • Project shop
      • Continuous process (primarily deals with liquids and/or gases)
