How Manufacturing is Done

• Market research helps the company find out what
  customers want in a product
• Research Development --- engineers and product
  designers
• R D comes up with ideas for new products and
  improves the ways of making the old ones ---
  inventions and innovations
• Prototype is built by craftspeople to test the
  product before beginning the factory production
• Flowchart show the operations of a production
  line in a diagram form
• Advertisements and commercials are the ways to
  sell the product
• Salespeople sell and distribute the product
• Customer service departments helps with the
  servicing and repair of the defective products

Ensuring Quality

• Quality control workers inspect products to make
  sure they conform to the desired result
• Feedback from QC department is used to change
  manufacturing processes when necessary
• Uniformity --- the products are all alike or
  uniform

Automated Manufacturing

• Automation is the process of controlling machines
  automatically
• Program control --- controlling a process through
  a program
• Feedback control --- use of feedback from sensors
  to adjust the way a machine is working
• Automation saves money on labor costs
• Robotics
• Robots are automated machines that are controlled
  by computers
• Robots are taking the place of people in many
  factories
• People are needed to install, service, and
  program robots
• They can work 24 hours a day
• They relieve people from dangerous, boring,
  heavy, or unpleasant work
• They are used in welding, spray-painting,
  pick-place and loading-on-conveyers type of jobs
• They can be reprogrammed --- welding fenders of
  different models of a car

Automated Manufacturing

• CAD/CAM
• Computer-aided design is used by designers,
  drafters and engineers to do drawings and
  designing with a computer
• CAD can also be used to test a design of part in
  simulation
• Simulation --- a design is run through a series
  of tests
• Computer-aided manufacturing --- use of computers
  to control factory machines
• CAM directs machines to do certain jobs
• CAD/CAM lets a person create a design on a
  computer and then send it directly to a machine
  tool
• CIM
• Computer-integrated manufacturing is using
  computers for CAD/CAM and for business needs
• They are used to store information about raw
  materials and parts

Automated Manufacturing

• Flexible Manufacturing
• It is the efficient production of small amounts
  of products
• Just-in-Time Manufacturing
• It is the type of manufacturing in which
  materials and parts are ordered so that they
  arrive at the factory when they are needed
• There is no need for storage space
