Production Plan Introduction / Aim To effectively plan out each stage of manufacturing in detail before actually developing your chosen product

Learning Objectives By the end of today’s lesson you will be able to: Develop an understanding as to why it is important to plan out each stage of production Provide a broken down guide as to how you are planning to develop your final product Compare your production plan with another pupil to check that you have covered all the key areas

Apron worn to protect clothing The bird box base will be marked out using an engineers square to check all corners are at 90 degree angles. The measurements will be double checked before any cutting starts. 15 minutes 2Mark out and trim down lead sheet for roof flashing Tools: permenant pen, 30cm ruler, tin snips Material: Roll of sheet lead Safety goggles worn to protect eyes. The roof flashing will be marked out using an engineers square to check all corners are at 90 degree angles. The measurements will be double checked before any cutting starts. 20 minutes

CONCLUSION I have learnt that:  At every step of manufacture tests and checks will have to be made to maintain high quality production and to sustain high quality control and fulfil my specification points. AIMS  To plan the process of manufacture effectively Above is a combined making plan of the logo, Packaging and Point of Sale Display. Organisation is critical to become a successful designer as designers need to plan the use of time in order to reduce costs. Additionally it sets a guideline of small tasks to ensure the product is finished before the deadline. Objective (Process) DiagramExplanationTools and Materials TimeHealth and SafetyQuality Control Checks Order Materials In order to begin the process of making I need to order the necessary materials 1 week for products to arrive Not ApplicableCheck the quality and size of the material is correct. Also make sure the materials have no imperfections and are cost effective. Design logo by hand and question target market I need to find a powerful logo and one that attracts the target market. The best way to find their opinions is y asking them their thoughts on the designs.

Areas to include in your Production Plan Title – Production / Making Plan Introduction / Aim of Page – A quick summary as to why you are completing this page. e.g. To effectively plan each stage of manufacture Evaluation / Conclusion – Why is this page an important part of your coursework. e.g. By completing this page I now have a clear understanding of what stages are involved in the manufacture of my chosen product. Some stages I may have overlooked if I had not completed this planning stage before actually starting practical

If you finish your production plan in your books you need to research: What does the term recycling mean? Also research the three main types of recycling which are primary, secondary or physical, or tertiary / chemical recycling Name some materials that are made from recycled products List products that can be recycled
