Some Basic Definitions
Manufacturing
• Manufacturing is the process to convert the raw materials into products to fulfill
human needs.

• Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment,

labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation .

Manufacturing Processes
Manufacturing Process and Manufacturing
System

• Manufacturing engineering/ process is all about the practices

involved in converting a raw work into a finished product whereas
Manufacturing systems engineering goes into the details of the
equipment's and methods involved behind various manufacturing
processes.
Manufacturing System

• A manufacturing system is a collection of humans, machines, tools,

and processes that are used to produce goods or services. It
typically includes the steps of raw materials procurement,
processing, assembly, and distribution.
Manufacturing System
Manufacturing System
A manufacturing system must have three basic components:

• Inputs – raw materials or parts that will be used in the manufacturing process

• Processes – the methods and techniques used to transform the inputs into the
desired output

• Outputs – the products or services that are created as a result of

the manufacturing process

The goal of any manufacturing system is to produce outputs of the highest quality,
at the lowest cost, and in the shortest amount of time possible. In order to achieve
this, manufacturers must constantly struggle to improve their processes and
equipment.
Manufacturing System
Manufacturing System Importance
• Manufacturing systems are important because they provide the
means by which products are created. Without manufacturing
systems, it would be difficult to produce the vast array of goods
that we have come to rely on in our everyday lives. From the
simplest of products to the most complex, manufacturing systems
play a vital role in their creation.

• Moreover, manufacturing systems are constantly evolving and

improving. As new technologies are developed, they are often
incorporated into manufacturing systems to improve efficiency
and quality.
Manufacturing System Function
• The manufacturing system is responsible for the production of goods
and materials. It is a complex system that involves the coordination
of resources, machines, and workers in order to produce finished
products. The manufacturing system is an essential part of any
economy and plays a vital role in the production of consumer goods
and services.

• A well-functioning manufacturing system is important for a variety of

reasons, such as:

• Ensure that products are of high quality and meet customer expectations
• Improve efficiency and productivity, leading to lower costs and increased profits
• Help create jobs and support economic growth
Characteristics of a Manufacturing System
The characteristics of a manufacturing system include:

• Efficiency – The manufacturing system must be designed to produce products or

services quickly and efficiently.

• Flexibility – It must be able to accommodate changes in demand and produce

different products or services as needed.

• Quality – It must make products or services that meet the required standards.

• Safety – It must be designed to protect workers from injuries and hazards.

• Cost-effectiveness – The manufacturing system must be designed to create

products or services at a low cost.
