1. Manufacturing
Chapter 9

2. Manufacturing vs. Construction
Manufacturing is making goods in a workshop or factory.
Construction is building a structure on location.

3. Crafts People
Before technology allowed for manufacturing, trades people filled the need for tools, equipment, and other products.
Morris, Cross, Rock, Tower, Hatch, Smith, Sumner

4. Mass Production:
The production of goods in large quantities by groups of workers in large factories.
Assembly lines are used for mass production.

5. Standardization: Items are made to be interchangeable, exactly alike.
Rifle parts, screws
Jigs were used to make items the same.

6. Synchronization:
For the assembly line to work, the process must be synchronized. Each person and piece has a time and place that is fit into the overall assembly.

7. What is a Union?
Unions came abut in the early 1900’s to protect the rights of factory workers.
Child labor laws were passed around the same time.

12. Resources for Manufacturing:
People
Energy
Capital

13. Cogeneration:
When by-products are used to create energy in addition to primary energy sources.
Examples: manure being used to create methane gas, heat from engines being used to create steam power.

14. Productivity:
How quickly and cheaply a product can be made.

15. The Process:
Research & Development- create new ideas and improve old ones.
Market research- what customers want.
Prototype- model used to solve problems and for testing before products are actually built.
Flowchart- used to show the process of manufacturing the product.

16. Quality Control: Uniformity:
Making sure that products meet specified minimum requirements for operation, appearance, and durability.
Ensuring that all products are alike or uniform.
Uniformity:

17. Feedback:
What is it?
Automation
Robots

18. Flexible and “Just-in-Time” Manufacturing:
Flexible- the efficient production of small amounts of products.
Just-in-Time- manufacturing using parts and materials that arrive in the factory when they are needed and not before.
