Learning Aims: Examine common engineering processes to create products or deliver services
safely and effectively as a team.

Vocational A report, prepared as an individual, detailing engineering processes and the impact
Scenario: that human factors can have on their performance, using a case study based on a
given engineered product/ products or a given engineering service/services.

Criteria covered by this task:

Unit/Criteria
To achieve the criteria, you must show that you are able to:
reference

given product or when delivering a given service.
A. P2 Explain how human factors, as an individual or as a team, affect the performance
of engineering processes.
A.M1 Analyse why three engineering processes are used to manufacture a product or to
deliver a service and how human factors, as an individual and as a team, affect the
performance of engineering processes. Assessment
A.D1 Evaluate, using high quality written language, the effectiveness of using different
engineering processes to manufacture a product or to deliver a service and how
human factors, as an individual and as a team, affect the performance of
engineering processes.

Note:
You are working in a small engineering company, and your manager has asked you to take a look
at a prototype of a brass decorative shelf bracket as the image 1. determine the best way to
manufacture five more as samples for potential clients. Your recommendation should be fully
justified and include a comparison with alternative processes. If the product eventually goes into
production, it will be required in large numbers. Your manager has explained that when demand
reaches a certain level, a fully automated manufacturing system will be introduced that will
eliminate human involvement in the process almost entirely. This would require a significant
investment, and your company is keen to establish how a range of human factors could actually
benefit the performance of engineering processes involved in manufacturing. Your manager has
asked you to write a technical report that will address the issues that she will present to the
operations director of the company. Care must be taken to ensure that a high standard of written
language is used throughout.

M1: Analyse why three engineering processes are used to manufacture the product
above or to deliver a service and how human factors, as an individual and as a team,
affect the performance of engineering processes.
