Production Quantity
Refer to the number of units produced annually of a particular product
type. The quantity (Q) of products made annually by a factory can be
classified into three ranges

Low production Q ¿100 .1

Medium production 100 ¿ Q ¿ 10000 .2
High production 10000 ¿ Q .3

Toyota was the world's first automobile manufacturer to produce more

.than 10 million  vehicles per year which it has done since 2012

In 1924, Sakichi Toyoda  invented the Toyoda Model G Automatic  Loom.

Example of Manufacturing Paper clips

Questions during design and manufacturing paper clips

?What type material would you choose to make this product -1

Does it have to be metallic or it can be non-metallic? (such as plastic) -2

?If we choose metal, what kind of metal -3

If the material that you have start with is wire? What should be its -4
?diameter

?Should be it round or have some other cross section -5

?Is wire surface finish and appearance important -6

How we take a piece of wire and shape it into a paper clip? Would you -7
?do it by hand or by machine

Would you have to manufacture from 100- 1000000 paper clips, do -8

?you buy it or rent it

The Paper clip must meet its basic function requirements to hold the
paper with sufficient clamping force (size and shape have direct effect in
.this function). Here stiffness has big role

.Stiffness is a measure of how much it deflects under a given force

Diameter of wire

Stiffness and strength

 Design of clip

During manufacturing paper clips, there are some important

considerations should be consider

Corrosion of material ✔
Finalizing the design and select suitable material which is ✔
.commercially available
Cost of material ✔
.Bending of material without cracking or breaking ✔
Can the wire easy cut from long piece without excising wear on ✔
.cutting tool
Machining , what is the economical method of manufacturing this ✔
product? This depend on
a- production rate
b- Market competitive (national and inter nation market)
