Manufacturing System
 What is Manufacturing?

 It is a process of making parts and putting

them together to make a product.
 The process of converting raw materials into
products.
 is derived from the Latin “manu factus”,
meaning made by hand.
 Cottage Industry
 Families that began to manufacture goods in
their own homes for other people, and for
profit.

Example:
The movie, Coco (2017): Their family is a shoe
manufacturer/maker.
 The Factory System
 It is developed during the Industrial
Revolution. Wherein a company owned the
factory and paid the workers.

Example:
Cotton Manufacturing
 Modern Manufacturing
 It is the manufacturing of goods/products that
uses advanced technology. Sometimes there is
no need of manpower.

Example:
Car Manufacturing
 Basic Types of Modern Manufacturing

Custom Production – products are made one

at a time according to customer’s
specifications. “ Example: Ships, Airplanes
Job-lot Production – a certain quantity of a
product is made. “Seasonal” Example:
Continuous Production – is the system used
for mass producing products. Example: Foods,
Electronic Devices (Cellular Phones etc.)

Time
 Is needed to order materials, produce parts
and assemble products.
 Processes
(are all the activities that need to take place to make the product)

• Management Process
Planning
 Means deciding how something should be done
before you do it.
Organizing
 Is gathering and arranging everything needed to
do a job.
Controlling
 Means keeping track of things.
 Processes (cont.)
• Production Process
Preprocessing
 It happens before any work is done on the materials.
Material Processing
 The shape or size of the material is changed to
increase its usability and value.
Postprocessing
 Activities include things done to the product after
the materials have been changed in form or shape.
 Outputs
(result of inputs and processes)
Impacts
 They affect our economy
 They affect our society
 They affect our politics
 They affect our environment
 Feedback
 It is the information about the output that is
sent back to the system to determine whether
the results are being achieved.
Product Development
 Research and Development
Research Development
 Is done to gather Is using research
information. information to
solve a problem.
 Product Design
 Drawing
 Computer Aided Design – the designer creates
design right on the computer instead of using
pencil and paper.
 Mock-ups – is a three-dimensional model of
the proposed product.
 Prototype
 Is a full-size working model of the actual
product.
 Is usually built by hand, part by part.
 It serves as experimental models for analyzing
product design and engineering.
Production
 Producing Products
Production
 Is the multi-step process of making parts and
assembling parts into products.
Assemblies
 This means they are put together in a planned
way.
Packaging
 It is the final step in producing products.
 Production and Inventory Control
Production Control Inventory Control
 Is controlling It means keeping
what is made track of:
when it is made. Raw Materials
Purchased Parts
