1. Characterization of manufacturing (Wright, Ch1-2) Technology –Production Technology

2. Production Technology Manufacturing Construction "Processing” Service? Other?

3. Manufacturing = “systems that transform materials into products in a central location (factory)” (Wright, p.25)

4. Manufacturing = “A series of interrelated activities and operations that involve product design, and the planning, producing, materials control, quality assurance, management, and marketing of that product” (Biekert, p.348)

5. Manufacturing = “Building and servicing products that are not attached to a site”

6. Manufacturing systems Systems approaches List the subsystems of manufacturing

7. Modeling manufacturing systems IPO; Universal Systems Model DPUA PTUD Production Technology Cycle (Ritz)

18. The goals of manufacturing Classic, capitalistic: “To increase the profits of the company” “To improve the well-being of humans” (Ritz, p.39) What would be a better goal?

19. Major Stages in the Evolution of Production Systems Household (within the home; no surplus) Handicraft (home or shop; surplus) Factory (centralized; mass production) Automated (automated machinery) Cybernetic (totally controlled by computer) [What might the next stage be?]
