Introduction

to
Manufacturing
Origin
Manufacture

Manus Factus
= hand = make

“Made by hand” accurately described the


fabrication methods that were used when the
English word “manufacture” was first coined
around 1567 A.D.
Industrial Revolution
Manufacturing Process Flow
Manufacturing Process Flow –
ISO 9001 (2008)
- Quality Management system

ISO/TS 16949 (2009)


- QMS for Automotive Production &
Relevant Service Parts Organizations

ISO 50001 (2011)


- Energy Management

ISO 14000 (2004)


- Environmental Management
Manufacturing in Economic Sense
Transformation of a material into a greater value
by processing it.
Main types of Industries
Primary Secondary Tertiary
Final Product
i. Consumer goods
- products purchased directly by consumers
e.g. Cars, clothes, TVs, tennis rackets

ii. Capital goods


- those purchased by companies to produce
goods and/or provide services
e.g. Aircraft, industrial computers, communication
equipment, medical apparatus, trucks, machine
tools, construction equipment
* For our purposes in this module, manufacturing
means production of selected parts / products.

e.g. Nuts and bolts, forgings, cars, airplanes, digital


computers, plastic parts, and ceramic products.

Other products which are manufactured include clothes,


books, food and etc. will not be covered in our current
module
Manufacturing Process Flow
Components of a Manufacturing Industry

•Mechanized equipments
•Automated equipments
Processes •Supervised by human workers

Starting Materials
Metals
•Usually Alloys… What are alloys ?

•Ductile & Malleable

•Metal is divided into two basic groups:

1. Ferrous metals
Steel and cast iron

2. Nonferrous metals
Aluminum, copper, nickel, silver, tin, etc.
Charging a basic
oxygen furnace
in steelmaking:
Molten pig iron is
poured into the
furnace.
Temperatures
~1650°C.

Pig iron
Ceramics
- Advanced Ceramics such as alumina (Al2O3).
- Harder than metals but brittle.

Polymers
- Elastomers, thermoplastics, thermosetting
polymers.

Composites
Material consisting of 2 or more phases that are
processed separately and then bonded together to
achieve properties superior to its constituents

Manufacturing Processes
I. Processing operations

or

II. Assembly operations


I. Processing operations
Three categories of processing operations:

Shaping operations - alter the geometry of


1.

the starting work material

Property enhancing operations - improve


2.

physical properties without changing shape

Surface processing operations - clean, treat,


3.

coat, or deposit material on surface of work


Solidification Particulate
processes - starting processing –
material is a heated starting material
liquid or semi fluid consists of
powders

a. Shaping Processes

Deformation Material removal


processes processes
- starting material -starting material

is a ductile solid is a ductile or


(commonly metal) brittle solid
Solidification Process
•Starting material is heated sufficiently to
transform it into a liquid or highly plastic state

Casting process Product of Casting


Particulate Processing
Starting materials are (1) metal or ceramic powders,
•

which are (2) pressed and (3) sintered


Deformation Process
•Starting work part is shaped by application of
forces that exceed the yield strength of the material

• Examples:

(a) Forging and (b) Extrusion


Material Removal Process
Excess material removed from the starting piece
•

so what remains is the desired geometry

• Examples:

(a) Turning, (b) Drilling, & (c) Milling

b. Property Enhancing Processes
Processes that improve mechanical or physical
properties of work material

• Examples:
Heat treatment of metals and glasses
▫

(tempered glass)
Cleaning

c. Surface Processing
Operations

Coating & Thin film


Surface deposition
-Electroplating

Treatments -PVD

-Painting

Production Systems
A manufacturing firm must have systems and
procedures to efficiently accomplish its production

• People

• Equipment

• Procedures
Used for the materials and processes that constitutes a firm’s
manufacturing operations
Production Systems

Production Manufacturing
Support
Facilities Systems

People make the system works!!!


Production Machines and Tooling's

Machine tools - power-driven machines used to


▫

operate cutting tools previously operated manually

Other production equipment:


▫

Presses
Forge hammers,
Plastic injection molding machines

unloading and loading
operation in a turning
center using a dual
gripper

Production Facilities
Include the factory, production equipment, and
material handling systems

• Overall plant layout, arrangement of equipments.

Equipment usually organized into logical groupings,


•

called manufacturing systems.


Examples:
•

▫Automated production line


▫Machine cell consisting of an industrial robot and two

machine tools
Facilities vs Product Quantities

•Manufacturing systems of each plant is designed


to serve its purpose

1.Low production – 1 to 100


2.Medium production – 100 to 10,000

3.High production – 10,000 to >1,000,000


Manufacturing capability
is limited by:

i. Technological processing capability

ii. Physical product limitations

iii. Production capacity


i. Technological processing capability
Certain manufacturing processes are suited to
certain materials.

A machine shop cannot roll steel


▫

A steel mill cannot build cars


▫
ii. Physical Product Limitations
There are size and weight limitations on the parts
•

or products that can be made in the plant

• Product size and weight affect:

Production equipment
▫

Material handling equipment


▫
iii. Production Capacity

•Defined as the maximum quantity that a plant can


produce in a given time period

• Usually measured in terms of output units.

• Also called plant capacity
