Manufacturing
Turning raw materials into goods which we need or want and are able to sell to others.
Manufacturing
Requires:• Special buildings or places of work• Organisation of people• Organisation of tools & equipment• Communication systems• Efficient working methods• Health and safety considerations
Manufacturing Terms
• Primary Processing
• Secondary Processing
Primary Processing
Turning raw materials into useful stock sizes
Materials come from:
Out of the ground
Animals
Trees & plants
Oil
Making Paper
Trees cut & shredded
Water added
Boiled up to make wood pulp
Chemicals and dyes added
Pulp poured over fine mesh and squeezed between rollers

Scales of Production
• One-off or Jobbing Production
• Batch Production
• Mass or Flow Production
• Continuous Production
Just in Time
• Shared information systems
• Reduced lead times
• Less finance tied up in stock
Flexible Manufacturing
• Benefits of one-off production at mass production prices
• Only possible with ICT
Computer Integrated Manufacture
All the computer functions are integrated together in a fully automated system.
This would include moving materials/assemblies between machining operations.
Quality Issues
• Consistency
• Right first time every time
• Working to tolerances
• Materials in as well as products out
Quality Assurance
• Procedures to manage all functions which affect quality
• QA checks the systems
• Monitors processes
• Applies standards
Part of the Total Quality Management (TQM) of the company
Quality control
• One part of QA
• A series of checks – size, strength, weight, taste etc.
Tolerances
• Acceptable range of difference from standard
• Sometimes measured in plus/minus
No product manufactured in quantity can be considered to be perfect in every detail
Certification
• Manufacturers who work to recognised standards are awarded certification
BS EN ISO 9000:2000
One of the most important series of standards, these provide companies with a framework for developing a set of processes that ensure a common sense approach to the management of the organisation.
