1. Question four manufacturing question
Sketch and annotate each of these products you have made before.
Pull along toy car
Jewellery box
Acrylic clock
Pewter cast key ring
Annotate materials, sizes, components and add colour.
This is NOT a design question.

2. Manufacturing systems.1
Definition: Manufacturing systems are a method of organising a production line.
Here is an example of a production line. 2
Manufacturing systems aim to be efficient.
Efficient means making something with the least waste of time, effort, material and people resources.
Here are some examples on efficiency.
Only using one person to use the laser cutter rather than two. (People resources)
Using a Hegner saw rather than a Tenon saw. (Effort)
Not wasting material. (Material)

3. Manufacturing systems.3
We will now discuss the main features of a manufacturing system and how we can make it efficient.

4. Manufacturing systems.
1. Suggest two other features that would help improve the efficiency of a manufacturing system.
Example: Systems for deposing waste.
Suggestion one:
Suggestion two:
2. Describe how each of the features below should work in order for a system to run smoothly and efficiently.

5. There are two ways to show how a product will be made and you may be asked to do either of these.
Showing the layout of an assembly line using notes and sketch's.
A diagram.
Notes and sketch's are mainly about
a plan view of the workshop
What happens on each workstation
the flow of how each part gets assembled
Tools used
Quality control
People on each workstation
Stock and waste
Think about the set up when creating the race cars in year ten.
A diagram is mainly about.
Using the correct symbols
The tools needed
Quality control
Hazard risks
Being specific, e.g. drill a 5mm hole, not drill a hole.
Think about your own GCSE coursework flow diagram.

6. Manufacturing systems.3
The layout of the production line is often drawn. It is important extremely important to draw the production line as it can show how to reduce time loss, speed up manufacturing, reduce travelling and implement quality control checks.

7. As a class list the main stages of manufacture for the
Manufacturing systems. 7
As a class list the main stages of manufacture for the
key ring
jewellery box
acrylic clock.
Create the following:
A manufacturing system floor layout show the manufacturing stages, names of equipment, QC checks and safety points for the jewellery box.

8. Manufacturing systems.4
This is an example of how to layout a manufacturing systems drawing. The example is for creating a photo frame by 8 people.
The layout is mainly concerned about how to product moves about the workshop and how many people are working at each workstation.
Stock of all materials
Waste bin.
Table one
Mark out Pine. Use pencil, rule and mitre square.
Three people.
QC check if the piece of wood has been sanded to the line.
Table three
QC check if measurements are right.
Glue the four pieces together using clamps.
Two people.
Neat drawing.
Clear flow with arrows.
You can see all the workers.
Workers are not over or under worked.
Each process is clearly labelled.
Quality checks are in place.
Table two
Cut Pine.
Use tenon saw and bench hook.
One person.
QC use tri square to check if they are at 90 degrees.
Table four
QC check if only the waste area has been cut.
Sand off glue and use varnish to finish.
One person.
Complete products.
Belt sander
Sand Pine on belt sander using a 45 degree jig.
One person.
QC any extra varnish must be wiped off.
One person.

9. Manufacturing systems.6
The manufacturing layout needs to be supported by a manufacturing flow diagram. The flow diagram states exactly how a product is made. It does not state how many people need to complete a task or where in the workshop it should be completed.
Key for manufacturing symbols.
Start
Use this at the beginning of the process and end.
Start / finish
Mark the wood using a pencil, rule and tri square.
Use this when you are creating or making something.
Process No
Are the measurements correct?
Hazard
Cut carefully so fingers are not cut
Use this to check the size or quality.
Decision
Yes
Saw waste material using tenon saw and bench hook.
Use this to identified hazards and state how to reduce the risk.
Hazard. No
Has only the waste material been cut?
Materials list
Pine
Tools list
Pillar drill
Fixtures list
M5 Screw CSK

13. International Standards Organisation
ISO is the world’s leading developer of International Standards.
ISO standards specify the requirements for state-of-the-art products, services, processes, materials and systems.
ISO standards are designed to be implemented worldwide.

14. British Standards Institute
BSI devises tests that products or components have to meet.
It awards the Kitemark to those products that meet the standards.

15. Conformité Europeenne
Simply means that the product has been approved for sale in the European Union.
Meets basic requirements but may not have been tested against specific criteria
The letters 'CE' on a product are the manufacturer's claim that the product meets the requirements of all relevant European Directives.

16. Customer confidence
Trade associations provide clear guidance for manufacturers and designers and undertake their own testing
Along with other forms of certification they provide customers with a degree of confidence and an assurance that they are getting a quality product

17. Write a brief definition for each of these quality marks, say what they are and how they are used.
