  1. Applied ICT for OCR The impact of ICT on methods of production

  2. Objective • Recognise how the introduction of robotics and other linked ICT systems have affected methods of production. You will need to be able to evaluate how particular organisation has been affected.

  3. Smiley's and Icons A key term A definition you will be expected to know for the exam Research Facts you need to research. Exam questions A question copied from passed paper, REVISION! Task A task or activity you need to complete

  4. The impact of ICT on methods of production We are considering automation and robotics in more detail, discussing their impact on ICT. The two areas of production that have been improved are; • Process Control • Production Control

  5. The impact of ICT onmethods of production Revision of Robots and automation • Cost of introducing automation is high • Work 24/7 • Reduce staff • More reliable

  6. The impact of ICT on methods of production Production control Production control involves the systematic planning, co-ordinating and directing of manufacturing activities • To ensure; • Goods are made on time • Of adequate quality • Reasonable cost How do you think ICT can help? 6

  7. The impact of ICT on methods of production Production control Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing • ICT is used for; • Order processing • Stock Control • Automatic ordering • Materials are only delivered • exactly when they are • needed 7

  8. The impact of ICT on methods of production Production control Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing Car industry uses JIT extensively 8

  9. The impact of ICT on methods of production Production control Newspaper printing Industry • A print management computer controls • the whole process. • Guided Vehicles transport rolls of paper from lorries to storage area. They use lines and sensors • Production of printing plates • Flow of ink • Cutting, folding and packing of newspapers • Labels to newsagents 9

  10. The impact of ICT on methods of production Process control Process control is the automatic monitoring and adjustment of a production process. Automated systems for process control have a number of advantages. • To ensure; • Process produce goods faster than manual • Quality of product is higher • Continual monitoring How do you think ICT can help? 10

  11. The impact of ICT on methods of production Process control Automated systems for process control have a number of advantages. Less waste as problems are detected immediately Reduces costs Fewer employees – wage bill 24 hour production – no breaks needed Workers no longer need to handle dangerous materials 11

  12. The impact of ICT on methods of production The impact on society Discussed the impact on working practices in the last set of slides. In this section we are going to look at a range of health and safety issues. Spot the health and safety risks on the worksheet! 12

  13. The impact of ICT on methods of production • Health and Safety Issues • Eye Strain • Backache • Repetitive Strain injury (RSI) • Carpel Tunnel Syndrome • Ulnar Neuritis • Deep Vein Thrombosis • Fatigue • Stress Reference Teach-ICT 13

  14. The impact of ICT on methods of production The impact on society Another impact on society of changes in production methods in the level of employment. What industries have had large jobs Losses? 14

  15. The impact of ICT on methods of production The impact on society However new industries have sprung up. Programmers and IT support Web design Unskilled, manual jobs have disappeared. New jobs require higher skills levels. So what do people need to gain employment?
