Production Drawings
• Production drawings (sometimes called Working drawings) are
the complete set of drawings specifying the manufacture and
assembly of a product.

• Generally consists of multiple drawings, on multiple sheets. A title

block appears on each sheet.

• May contain written instructions called specifications.

Engineering vs. Production Drawings
• Engineering drawings define what the product should be.
Engineering drawing is the final output of the research, design and
development phase of a project.

&
• Production drawings show how to manufacture the product.
Production engineers take the engineering drawings and decide how
best to manufacture the product described by the drawings in their
factory.

Parts of Production Drawings
Production Drawings has the following three main parts:
1. Detail drawings of each non-standard part, usually one part per
“sheet”.

2. An assembly drawing (or subassembly drawings) showing all

parts in a single drawing.

3. A bill of materials (BOM). This is essentially a parts list.

Purpose of Production Drawings
Detail production drawing conveys the information and
instructions for manufacturing the part.

Assembly drawing conveys

 Completed shape of the product.
 Overall dimensions.
 Relative position of each part.
 Functional relationship among various components.

Drawing Number
Every drawing used in industry is assigned a number each company
develops its own standard numbering system. It may be sequential
numbers, combination of numbers and letters, sheet sizes, number
of parts in the assembly, model numbers, etc.

Types of Assembly Drawings
Types of assembly drawing

1. Outline assembly drawings

2. Exploded assembly drawings

3. Sectioned assembly drawings

Page 12 of 27
Outline Assembly Drawing
• Gives a general graphic
description of exterior shape
• Used for part catalogs and
installation manuals, or for
production when the assembly
is simple enough to be
visualized
• Hidden lines are omitted,
except for clarity.

Exploded Assembly Drawing
• Gives general graphic
description of each part.
• Uses centre lines to show how
the parts are assembled.
• Pictorial assembly is normally
an isometric view.
• Used in installation and
maintenance manuals.

Sectioned Assembly Drawing
• Gives general graphic
description if the interior
shape by passing cutting
plane through all or part of the
assembly

Assembly Drawings
• All parts, drawn in their operating position.
• Part list (or bill of materials, BOM)
– Item number
– Descriptive name
– Material, MATL.
– Quantity required (per a unit of machine), QTY

• Leader lines with balloons around part numbers.

• Machining and assembly operations and critical dimension related
to operation of the machine.

Bill of Material
• Bill of materials (BOM) is the term
used to describe the "parts list" of
components needed to complete a
saleable end-item.

• A bill of material can define

products as they are designed
(Engineering BOM), as they are
ordered (Sales BOM), as they are
built (Manufacturing BOM), or as
they are maintained (Service
BOM).

Page 18 of 27
Engineering Bill of Material
• In engineering BOM the information normally included in the part
list consist of:
– Name of the part
– A detail number of the part in the assembly
– Part material such as cast iron or bronze
– The company assigned part number
– Other Information Located above or beside the title block.
Fill the table from the bottom.
