Scales of Production Context: New topic on Scales of Production. What: Scales of Production is about how many of an item are made at one time. Why: All engineered products will be produced at a certain scale. Previously: You will have looked at some scales of production in KS3 D&T. Next: You are going to make some products at different scales. Watch the video… List the items that you see, how many of each of these items do you think are made in one go? Fill out the charts… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTWnQDAhp9k
Learning Objectives • To understand the scale of engineering production: one-off. • These issues affect all aspects of the course and should be considered throughout.
Learning Outcomes Progress – Identify what one-off production is. Good Progress –Identify some advantages and disadvantages of one-off production. Exceptional Progress –Describe one-off production to enable future comparisons.
One-off Batch Scales of Production Continuous Mass
One-Off Production • One-off or individual production, is used to manufacture one-off products. • It is often related to as “tailor made”, bespoke or customised solutions. • A key feature is often a high-cost product that is manufactured to a client specification. • This kind of one-off product may be higher cost due to more expensive materials and time consuming hand crafted production and finishing. • Wedding dresses and custom made pieces use this type of manufacture. • This is the most expensive type of manufacture. • Highly skilled workers will be used, and will work on one job at a time. This means that it is extremely expensive.
One-Off Production Advantages Disadvantages High unit cost Low production efficiency Requires skilled labour High labour costs General tools and equipment Low initial investment
