3. Jigs
Devices that hold and move a work-piece in relation to a tool. Often they are designed as carriages that slide. Jigs act as a guide for the tools that cut and shape the wood, and they are ideal for repetitive tasks.

4. Fixtures
Stationary devices that hold the wood in a set position in relation to a tool. Some of the more typical examples of fixtures are fences -- such as a ripping fence on the table saw.

5. Use on Machines Works with: Table Saw Chop Saw Drill Press Sanders
Various Hand Tools
A jig SLIDES, and a fixture GUIDES.

6. Benefits Keeps Parts Consistent Eliminates User Variation Faster Safer
Easier

7. “Push” Manufacturing Producer pushes product toward consumer
Product is pushed from one step to the next:
Manufacturing step 1,2,3etcstorageMarketing
Very wasteful: inventory=Wasted $$

8. “Pull” Manufacturing AKA Lean Manufacturing Starts with demand
Nothing goes on to next step until it is required
Eliminates waste and inventory
