WHAT IS MANUFACTURING?

• The word manufacture is derived from two Latin wordsmanus (hand) and factus (make); the combinationliterally means “made by hand”.

• “Made by hand” accurately described the fabricationmethods that were used when the English word“manufacture” was first coined around 1567 A.D.

• Most modern manufacturing operations areaccomplished by mechanized and automated equipmentthat is supervised by human workers

• It encompasses: Design of the product, Raw materialselection, choosing the sequence of processes formaking items.

Is Manufacturing Important?

• Making things has been an essential human

activity since before recorded history.

• Today, the term manufacturing is used for this

activity.

• Manufacturing is important to most of developed

and developing nations in two ways:

– Technologically

– Economically

Manufacturing: Technological

• Application of physical and chemical processesto alter the geometry, properties, and/orappearance of a starting material to makeparts or products

Technological Importance

• Technology - the application of science to

provide society and its members with those

things that are needed or desired.

• Technology provides the products that help our

society and its members live better.

• What do these products have in common?

– They are all manufactured.

• Manufacturing is the essential factor that

makes technology possible.

Manufacturing - Economical

• Transformation of materials into items ofgreater value by one or more processingand/or assembly operations

Economic Importance

• Manufacturing has the important function ofadding value to products i.e. marketable price.

• In general, higher the standard of living, higheris the level of manufacturing activity in acountry.

Manufacturing Industries

• Industry consists of enterprises and organizationsthat produce or supply goods and services.

• Industries can be classified as:

1. Primary industries - cultivate and exploit naturalresources, e.g., agriculture, mining

2. Secondary industries - take the outputs ofprimary industries and convert them intoconsumer and capital goods e.g. aerospace,automobile

3. Tertiary industries - service sector e.g. Banking,Insurance

Specific Industries in Each Category

• Some specific examples of primary, secondary and tertiary industries

Manufacturing Industries

• Secondary industries include manufacturing,construction, and electric power generation.

• Manufacturing includes several industries whoseproducts are not covered in this book; e.g., apparel,beverages, chemicals, and food processing.

• For our purposes, manufacturing means productionof components/hardware e.g.

– Nuts and bolts, forgings, cars, airplanes, digitalcomputers, plastic parts, and ceramic products

Manufactured Products

• Final products divide into two major classes:

1. Consumer goods - products purchased directly by

consumers

– Cars, clothes, TVs, tennis rackets

2. Capital goods - those purchased by companies to

produce goods and/or provide services

– Aircraft, computers, communication equipment,

medical apparatus, trucks, machine tools,

construction equipment

Production Quantity Q

• The quantity of products Q made by a factory hasan important influence on the way its people,facilities, and procedures are organized.

• Annual quantities can be classified into three ranges:

Production type Quantity

Low production Job production 1-to 100

Medium production Batch production 100 to 10000

High production Mass production 10000 to millions

Product Variety P

• Product variety P refers to different product types ormodels produced in the plant.

• Different products have different features.

– They are intended for different markets

– Some have more parts than others

• The number of different product types made each yearin a factory can be counted.

•When the number of producttypes made in the factory ishigh, this indicates highproduct variety.

Manufacturing Capability

• A manufacturing plant consists of processes andsystems (and people) to transform a certain limitedrange of materials into products of increased value

• The three building blocks - materials, processes, andsystems - are the subject of modern manufacturing.

• Manufacturing capability includes:

1. Technological processing capability

2. Physical product limitations

3. Production capacity

1. Technological Processing Capability

• It means set of available manufacturing processes in the plant (or company) to make products.

• Certain manufacturing processes are suited to certain materials, so by specializing in certain processes, the plant is also specializing in certain materials.

• Includes not only the physical processes, but also the expertise of the plant personnel

• In simple term technological processing capability can be understood from following examples:

– A machine shop cannot roll steel

– A steel mill cannot build cars

2. Physical Product Limitations

• Given a plant with a certain set of processes, thereare size and weight limitations on the parts orproducts that can be made in the plant.

• Product size and weight affect:

– Production equipment

– Material handling equipment

• Production, material handling equipment, and plantsize must be planned for products that lie within acertain size and weight range

3. Production Capacity

• Defined as the maximum quantity that a plant canproduce in a given time period (e.g., month oryear) under assumed operating conditions

• Operating conditions refer to number of shiftsper week, hours per shift, direct labor manninglevels in the plant, and so on

• Usually measured in terms of output units, such astons of steel or number of cars produced by theplant.

– Also called plant capacity

variety of materials and

geometries for paper clips.

Some for consideration:

• Functional requirements.

• What material propertiesare required?

• What manufacturingattributes are required?

• Would the material andprocessing strategychange if the desiredquantity was 10,000 vs. 1million per day?

Example:1Manufacturing Paper Clip


General considerations:1. What type of material? Metallic or non metallic?2. If metal what kind of metal?3. If the material is wire then what should be its diameter?4. Should it be round or have some other x-section?5. Is the wire’s surface finish & appearance important? What should it

be its roughness?6. How would you take a piece of wire & shape it into a paper clip?7. Would you do it by hand? If not , what kind of machine should you

design or purchase to make paper clips?8. If, as the owner of a company, you were given an order for 100 parts

vs for a million parts, would your approach to mfg be different?Functional and Service Requirement:1. Clamping force, Permissible plastic deformation, corrosion etc.2. Relation between mechanical properties (stiffness) & wire diameter.3. What should be the yield strength of wires? (If too low, clip will

bend permanently.)4. Life, customer satisfaction

Material Selection1. Material selection requires knowledge of function and service

requirements of the product.2. Therefore, choosing materials that are commercially available.3. Corrosion resistance must also be consideredStyle & Appearance,1. Metallic or plastic? What shape (round or else)?2. Surface finish, surface finishProduction Requirements:

1. How to shape (hand or machine)? Batch quantity

2. Bending without cracking or breaking?

3. Is wire cut easily without causing excessive wear on tooling?

4. Are edges on the wire smooth (burs not desire)?5. What is the most economical method of mfg this part at the

desired production rate?


Example:2MANUFACTURING of LIGHT BULB

Some informations:

1. 60W bulb has thin Wire (0.045 mm dia)

2. 1% decrease in wire diameter,shortens bulb life by 25%.

3. Filament is heated to 2200 to 30000C.

4. Requires inert environment/ vacuum.

5. Bulb vacuumed or filled with N2 orArgon Moisture causes 0.5mblackened spot.

6. Production Rate >1000/Min.

Materials in Manufacturing

• Most engineering materials can be classified intoone of three basic categories:

1. Metals

2. Ceramics

3. Polymers

• Their chemistries are different, and theirmechanical and physical properties are different.

• These differences affect the manufacturingprocesses that can be used to produce productsfrom them

Applicability of Manufacturing Processes to Materials

Selection of Manufacturing Process

• Type of basic manufacturing process mainly depends on:

1. Type of the Work Material

2. Nature (i.e. ductile or brittle) and its Hardness

3. Melting Temperature of the Work Material

4. Production Volume or Batch Size of the Production

• Basic nature of the manufacturing process affects the

1. Cost

2. Properties and

3. Characteristics of the Final Product

Application Range of ManufacturingProcesses According to Melting Tempof Materials & Batch Size

Manufacturing Attributes of Manufacturing Processes

How to Select Processes

Some guidelines for selection of basic manufacturing process:

[A] According to the Batch Size:

• Smaller batch size requires flexible manufacturingprocesses like machining, which can produce variety ofgeometrical features. (up to 500 products).

1. Larger batch size allows use of primary forming anddeforming processes so as to offset the relatively highcosts of machine tools and tooling.

Primary forming processes from 75 onwards.

Deforming processes more than 1000.

Classification of Manufacturing Processes

• All the Manufacturing Processes can be Put into Basic SIX Categories according to their Nature:

1. Primary Forming Processes [Additive or Accretion]

2. Material Removal or Machining [Subtractive]

3. Deforming Processes [Formative]

4. Joining or Fabrication or Consolidation [Assembling]

5. Finishing and Surface Treatment Processes

6. Bulk Property Enhancing Processes [Heat Treatment]

• All These SIX Categories can be Sub-divided into TWO Sub-categories

1. Conventional

2. Unconventional or Advanced

Manufacturing Processes

Two basic types:

1. Processing operations - transform a workmaterial from one state of completion to amore advanced state

– Operations that change the geometry,properties, or appearance of the startingmaterial

2. Assembly operations - join two or morecomponents to create a new entity

Processing Operations

• Alters a material’s shape, physical properties, orappearance in order to add value

• Three categories of processing operations:

– Shaping operations - alter the geometry of thestarting work material

– Property-enhancing operations - improve physicalproperties without changing shape

– Surface processing operations - clean, treat,coat, or deposit material on surface of work

Shaping Processes

Basically there are four shaping processes:

1. Solidification processes - starting material is a heated liquid or semifluid

2. Particulate processing - starting material consists of powders

3. Deformation processes - starting material is a ductile solid (commonly metal)

4. Material removal processes - starting material is a ductile or brittle solid

Solidification Processes

• Starting material is heated sufficiently totransform it into a liquid or highly plasticstate.

• Casting process at left and casting product atright.

Particulate Processing

• (1) Starting materials are metal or ceramicpowders, which are (2) pressed and (3)sintered .

Deformation Processes

• Starting workpart is shaped by application offorces that exceed the yield strength of thematerial

• Examples: (a) forging and (b) extrusion

Material Removal Processes

• Excess material removed from the starting piece so what remains is the desired geometry

• Examples: (a) turning, (b) drilling, and (c) milling

Property Enhancing Processes

Processes that improve mechanical or physicalproperties of work material.

• Examples:

– Heat treatment of metals and glasses

– Sintering of powdered metals and ceramics

• Part shape is not altered, except unintentionally

– Example: unintentional warping of a heat treatedpart

Surface Processing Operations

• Cleaning - chemical and mechanical processesto remove dirt, oil, and other surfacecontaminants

• Surface treatments - mechanical working suchas sand blasting, and physical processes likediffusion

• Coating and thin film deposition - coatingexterior surface of the workpart. Examples:

– Electroplating

– Physical vapor deposition

– Painting

Assembly Operations

• Two or more separate parts are joined to form a new entity.

• Types of assembly operations:

1. Joining processes – create a permanent joint

• Welding, brazing, soldering, adhesive bonding

2. Mechanical assembly – fastening by mechanicalmethods

• Threaded fasteners (screws, bolts and nuts); press fitting, expansion fits

Production Machines and Tooling

• Manufacturing operations are accomplished using machinery and tooling (and people).

• Types of production machines:– Machine tools - power-driven machines used

to operate cutting tools previously operated manually

– Other production equipment:• Presses• Forge hammers,• Plastic injection molding machines

Production Systems

• People, equipment, and procedures used for thematerials and processes that constitute a firm'smanufacturing operations .

• A manufacturing firm must have systems andprocedures to efficiently accomplish itsproduction

• Two categories of production systems:

– Production facilities

– Manufacturing support systems

• People make the systems work

Production Facilities

• The factory, production equipment, and material handling systems.

• Includes the way the equipment is arranged in the factory - the plant layout

• Equipment usually organized into logical groupings, called manufacturing systems. Examples:– Automated production line

– Machine cell consisting of an industrial robot and two machine tools

• Production facilities "touch" the product

Facilities vs Product Quantities

• A company designs its manufacturing systemsand organizes its factories to serve theparticular mission of each plant.

• Certain types of production facilities arerecognized as most appropriate for a giventype of manufacturing:1. Low production – 1 to 100

2. Medium production – 100 to 10,000

3. High production – 10,000 to >1,000,000

Low Production

• Job shop is the term used for this type of production facility

• A job shop makes low quantities of specialized and customized products– Products are typically complex, e.g., space capsules,

prototype aircraft, special machinery

– Equipment in a job shop is general purpose

– Labor force is highly skilled

– Designed for maximum flexibility

Medium Production

• Two different types of facility, depending on product variety:

• Batch production– Suited to medium and hard product variety

– Setups required between batches

• Cellular manufacturing– Suited to soft product variety

– Worker cells organized to process parts without setups between different part styles

Process Plant Layout

Cellular Plant Layout

High Production

• Often referred to as mass production– High demand for product

– Manufacturing system dedicated to the production of that product

• Two categories of mass production: 1. Quantity production

2. Flow line production

Quantity Production

• Mass production of single parts on singlemachine or small numbers of machines

• Typically involves standard machines equippedwith special tooling

• Equipment is dedicated full-time to theproduction of one part or product type

• Typical layouts used in quantity production areprocess layout and cellular layout

Flow Line Production

• Multiple machines or workstations arranged insequence, e.g., production lines

• Product is complex– Requires multiple processing and/or assembly

operations

• Work units are physically moved through thesequence to complete the product

• Workstations and equipment are designedspecifically for the product to maximizeefficiency

Manufacturing Support Systems

• A company must organize itself to design theprocesses and equipment, plan and controlproduction, and satisfy product qualityrequirements– Accomplished by manufacturing support systems

• The people and procedures by which a company managesits production operations

• Typical departments:– Manufacturing engineering, Production planning and

control, Quality control
