“the vast majority of objects around us consist of numerous individual
pieces that are built and assembled by a combination of processes
called manufacturing”

“The word manufacture first appeared in English in 1567 and is derived

from the Latin manu factus, meaning “made by hand.” The word
manufacturing first appeared in 1683, and the word production, which
is often used interchangeably with the word manufacturing, first
appeared sometime during the 15th century.”
• Until the Industrial Revolution, which began in England in the 1750s and is also called the First
Industrial Revolution, goods had been produced in batches and required much reliance on manual
labor in all phases of their production. The Second Industrial Revolution is regarded by some as
having begun in the mid-1900s with the development of solid-state electronic devices and
computers (Table I.2).
• Mechanization began in England and other countries of Europe, basically with the development
of textile machinery and machine tools for cutting metal. This technology soon moved to the
United States, where it continued to be further developed. A major advance in manufacturing
occurred in the early 1800s with the design,
PRODUCTION FACILITIES

Low-Quantity Production In the low-quantity range (1–100 units/year), the term job
shop is often used to describe the type of production facility. A job shop makes low
quantities of specialized and customized products. The products are typically complex, such
as space capsules, prototype aircraft, and special machinery. The equipment in a job shop is
general purpose, and the labor force is highly skilled.

Medium Quantity Production In the medium-quantity range (100–10,000 units annually),

High Production The high-quantity range (10,000 tomillions of units per year) is referred
to as mass production.
Life Cycle. In concurrent engineering, the design and
manufacture of products are
integrated with a view toward optimizing all elements
involved in the life cycle of
the product (see Section I.4). The life cycle of a new
product generally consists of the
following four stages:
1. Product start-up
2. Rapid growth of the product in the marketplace
3. Product maturity
4. Decline.
