You are working as a final year apprentice in a small
engineering company. You have been using some
engineering processes to manufacture a flange as part of
your team; your manager is pleased with your work and
has decided that you should be given some more
responsibility. He wants you to look at whether the
Vocational Scenario or
company is using the most appropriate engineering
Context
processes when manufacturing the flange
Your manager has asked you to examine the flange and to
report back on the engineering processes that can be used
to make it, including health and safety factors, and how
human factors could affect the performance of these
processes. The report will impact upon company
investment decisions in the future.
Task 1 which should You are going to evaluate the effectiveness of engineering
include justifications as to processes and how human factors affect them.
which processes are most To do this:
effective, by referring to
the specific requirements Your tutor will provide you with a product that needs to be
of the flange – as part of produced using a range of engineering processes. You need
this, you must provide th to:
, • Research the processes used (at least three), including
relevant health and safety factors and
legislation/regulations; and
• Research how these engineering processes can be affected
by human factors (individual and team).
You then need to:
Produce a report that evaluates the effectiveness of the
engineering processes (at least three) used to
manufacture the flange and how human factors affect
the performance of the engineering processes. Your
report should include:
• Information on the advantages and limitations of the
engineering processes used (at least three) compared
with the advantages and limitations of using other
possible processes, orough details about how the
engineering processes work/operate, including health
and safety factors and legislation and regulations that
apply; and
• Evidence that you have a strong awareness of a range of
human factors, and can judge how they impact on the
performance of the engineering processes from both an
individual and team perspective.
Checklist of evidence
required A report, prepared as an individual, detailing engineering
processes and the impact that human factors can have on
their performance, using a case study context based on a
given engineered product(s) or a given engineering
service(s).
Criteria covered by this task:
Unit/Criteria
To achieve the criteria you must show that you are able to:
reference
Evaluate, using high quality written language, the effectiveness of
2/A.D1 using different engineering processes to manufacture a product or to
deliver a service and how human factors, as an individual and a team,
affect the performance of engineering processes.
