Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Design for Manufacturability Uses readily available materials. Uses materials that can be recycled. Uses existing production processes.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Materials Raw materials occur in nature. They are usually processed into industrial materials. Industrial materials are used to make products.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Processing Materials Primary processes change raw materials into industrial materials. ♦ Mechanical, such as cutting or crushing ♦ Thermal, such as heating or melting ♦ Chemical, such as mixing materials

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Processing Materials Secondary processes turn industrial materials into finished products. ♦ Forming (rolling, casting, forging, stamping, extrusion) ♦ Separating (cutting)

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Production Both primary and secondary processes are used in manufacturing. Many different processing techniques may be needed to produce one type of product.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Four Types of Production Custom production – Products are made to order. Job-lot production – Products are made in a specific quantity. Continuous production – Identical products are mass produced in large numbers. Mass customization – This process combines elements of custom and mass production. Standard products are individualized.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Quality Assurance Quality assurance is a system that checks whether products meet all quality standards.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Packaging Packaging is designed to continuously protect a product, from the time it is manufactured until the customer buys and uses it.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. UPC Universal product codes (UPC) assist with product inventory and sales control.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. RFID Radio frequency identification (RFID) can be used to track products during all stages of transportation and delivery.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Distribution After production, products may go to another manufacturer, a wholesaler, a retailer, or directly to the customer. ♦ A wholesaler purchases in large quantities and then sells in smaller amounts to retailers. ♦ Retailers sell products directly to consumers. ♦ Consumers can sometimes order directly from the manufacturer.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Sales Manufacturers may advertise their products to promote sales. Salespeople are usually paid a commission. This means the more products they sell, the more money they make.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. CAD Computer-aided design (CAD) uses a computer and software to make accurate drawings of parts and products. CAD can show what the product will look like, how it will work, how it should be made, and what materials will be used to make it.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. CAM Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) uses a computer to operate and control many machines and processes. CAD drawings may be input directly into a CAM system.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. CNC Computer numerical control (CNC) uses computer-controlled machines to perform a series of operations over and over. CNC machines can be reprogrammed to make different parts.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Rapid Manufacturing Rapid manufacturing sends designs from a CAD system to a 3D printer. The printer builds the product layer-by-layer. The techniques are the same ones used for rapid prototypes, except that the process is repeated to make tens or hundreds of actual products for sale.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is the use of materials at the atomic or molecular level. The goal of nanotechnology is to create materials or products that are lighter, stronger, and programmable.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Continuous Improvement Details are important. It is always possible to make a good system even better.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Automatic Manufacturing Uses computer-controlled machines at every stage of manufacturing. A few highly skilled technicians repair machines that break down and solve unexpected problems.

Technology InteractionsChapter 5 Manufacturing Technologies Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill A Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Personal Safety in Manufacturing Plants To reduce injuries, workers wear safety equipment, such as safety glasses, hard hats, and steel-toed shoes. Workers rotate tasks to reduce repetitive motion injuries.
