Types of Production

1. Types of Production Materials + Machine Time + Labor = Manufactured Goods

2. Manufacturing Systems • How many different ways are there to manufacture something? • What makes them different? • What are the advantages and disadvantages? • What are some examples of products made using each system? • Why do people manufacture products?

3. Manufacturing Systems • Custom Manufacturing • Continuous Manufacturing • Intermittent Manufacturing • Flexible Manufacturing • Just-In-Time Manufacturing

4. Custom Manufacturing • Oldest production system • Used to produce a smaller number of products to a customer’s order • Highly skilled workers machines to produce individual parts • Examples – spacecraft, stamping dies, special purpose machines

5. Continuous Manufacturing • Special purpose machines are used to produce large quantities of products • Products have limited variations • Uniform parts flow from station to station • Semiskilled workers operate the stations • Examples – automobiles, household appliances, furniture, paper, and lumber

6. Intermittent Manufacturing • Used when continuous manufacturing is not practical • Producing products in lots • All of the parts are processed through the station together • Often referred to as job-lot manufacturing

7. Flexible Manufacturing • Use of special tools and machines • Computer-controlled machines allow production run to be small • Reduced set-up time • Increased quality control with the use of the computer • Lots as small as one product can be produced at the cost of continuous manufacturing

8. Just-In-Time Manufacturing • Computer-based monitoring system • Developed in Japan • JIT stresses effective use of resources • Focus is placed on eliminating tasks, such as transportation, inspection, and storage which are wasteful • Raw materials arrive JIT for production, parts are produced JIT to be assembled, and products are produced JIT to meet the customer delivery orders

9. Stop for Questions 1. Which answer choice defines custom manufacturing? • Special purpose machines are used to produces a large number of goods as parts move from one station to the next • Computer controlled machines are used to produce lots as small as one product but at the cost of continuous manufacturing • Raw materials arrive JIT for production, parts are produced JIT to be assembled, and products are produced JIT to meet the customer delivery orders • Producing products in lots • Oldest form of manufacturing that is used to produce a smaller number of goods

10. Stop for Questions 2. Which answer choice defines continuous manufacturing? • Special purpose machines are used to produces a large number of goods as parts move from one station to the next • Computer controlled machines are used to produce lots as small as one product but at the cost of continuous manufacturing • Raw materials arrive JIT for production, parts are produced JIT to be assembled, and products are produced JIT to meet the customer delivery orders • Producing products in lots • Oldest form of manufacturing that is used to produce a smaller number of goods

11. Stop for Questions 3. Which answer choice defines intermittent manufacturing? • Special purpose machines are used to produces a large number of goods as parts move from one station to the next • Computer controlled machines are used to produce lots as small as one product but at the cost of continuous manufacturing • Raw materials arrive JIT for production, parts are produced JIT to be assembled, and products are produced JIT to meet the customer delivery orders • Producing products in lots • Oldest form of manufacturing that is used to produce a smaller number of goods

12. Stop for Questions 4. Which answer choice defines flexible manufacturing? • Special purpose machines are used to produces a large number of goods as parts move from one station to the next • Computer controlled machines are used to produce lots as small as one product but at the cost of continuous manufacturing • Raw materials arrive JIT for production, parts are produced JIT to be assembled, and products are produced JIT to meet the customer delivery orders • Producing products in lots • Oldest form of manufacturing that is used to produce a smaller number of goods

13. Stop for Questions 5. Which answer choice defines just-in-time manufacturing? • Special purpose machines are used to produces a large number of goods as parts move from one station to the next • Computer controlled machines are used to produce lots as small as one product but at the cost of continuous manufacturing • Raw materials arrive JIT for production, parts are produced JIT to be assembled, and products are produced JIT to meet the customer delivery orders • Producing products in lots • Oldest form of manufacturing that is used to produce a smaller number of goods

14. Stop for Questions 6. Is an automobile custom or continuous manufacturing? • Continuous Manufacturing • Custom Manufacturing

15. Stop for Questions 7. Is a space shuttle custom or continuous manufacturing? • Continuous Manufacturing • Custom Manufacturing

16. Stop for Questions 8. Is a household appliance custom or continuous manufacturing? • Continuous Manufacturing • Custom Manufacturing

17. Stop for Questions 9. Is a special purpose machine custom or continuous manufacturing? • Continuous Manufacturing • Custom Manufacturing
