Manufacturing
Manufacturing: The process of converting raw materials into products
that have value in the marketplace.

Focus is to make maximal amount of desirable products with minimal


production cost, and minimal time.
Manufacturing System
A manufacturing system can be defined as the arrangement and operation of
machines, tools, material, people and information to produce a value-added physical,
informational or service product whose success and cost is characterized by
measurable parameters.

A manufacturing system consists of production methods or procedures, facilities or


equipment, tooling, material moving or handling systems, quality assurance,
production control, and people collected together to accomplish specific
manufacturing or fabrication sequences resulting in components or end products.
Components of Manufacturing systems
Production machines and tools
Material handeling system (Materials, Material handling and work positioning devices)
Computer systems
Human resources
Importance of Manufacturing systems
management
 Increases Production (Atmanirbhar Bharat, make in india, vocal for local)

 Drives productivity growth and innovation

 Increases Exports

 Improves Employment rate

 Open new opportunities for investment

 Advancement of welfare and improved living standards

 Increases GDP
Challenges

 Rapidly changing market


 Fast development of new technology. Example: nanotechnology, biotechnology
 Competition
 A “use brain” generation, not willing to learn the trade which requires hand skills

To Survive: (1) Lower cost

(2) High quality

(3) Faster product development cycle

Types of Production System
Types of Production System
Job Shop Production: characterised by manufacturing of one or few quantity
of products designed and produced as per the specification of customers
within prefixed time and cost.
1. The distinguishing feature of this is low volume and high variety of
products.
2. Use of general purpose machines and facilities.
3. Highly skilled operators who can take up each job as a challenge because of
uniqueness.
4. Large inventory of materials, tools, parts.
5. Detailed planning is essential for sequencing the requirements of each
product, capacities for each work centre and order priorities.
Types of Production System
Batch Production: form of manufacturing in which the job passes through
the functional departments in lots or batches and each lot may have a
different routing.
1. There is shorter production runs.
2. plant and machinery are flexible.
3. better utilisation of plant and machinery.
4. Lower investment in plant and machinery.
5. plant and machinery set up is used for the production of item in a batch
and change of set up is required for processing the next batch.
Types of Production System
Mass Production: Manufacture of discrete parts or assemblies using a continuous
process are called mass production.
1. very large volume of production.
2. machines are arranged in a line or product layout.
3. Product and process standardisation exists and all outputs follow the same path.
4. Shorter cycle time of production.
5. Flow of materials, components and parts is continuous and without any back
tracking.
6. Production planning and control is easy.
7. Material handling can be completely automatic
Types of Production System
Continuous Production: Production facilities are arranged as per the
sequence of production operations from the first operations to the finished
product.
The items are made to flow through the sequence of operations through
material handling devices such as conveyors, transfer devices, etc.
Dedicated plant and equipment with zero flexibility.
Material handling is fully automated.
Process follows a predetermined sequence of operations.
Higher rate of production with reduced cycle time.
Higher capacity utilisation due to line balancing.
