Manufacturing Processes
Product Design Cycle - Answer-Design, material selection, process selection, manufactoring, inspection,
and feedback
Manufacturing - Answer-The process of turning materials into a product
Manufacturing engineer - Answer-Selects and coordinates specific processes and equipment
Industrial engineer - Answer-Responsible for the manufacturing system design
Materials engineer - Answer-Develops and selects materials based on desired material properties and
manufacturing processes
Job Shop - Answer-Small quantities of product. Large variety of products. Products move through the
shop to various machines. General-purpose machines.
Flow shop - Answer-Larger quantities of product. Production line. Special purpose machines.
Linked-cell shop - Answer-Manufacturing and subassembly cells connected to final assembly. Lean
production system. One piece flow system.
Project shop - Answer-Project being manufactured cannot be easily moved during production.
Production processes are brought to the product. Examples are bridges, ships, larger planes locomotives
and large machinery.
, Continuous process - Answer-Large plants, utilized in the manufacture of liquids, oils, gases, and
powders
Lean manufacturing - Answer-100% "good" units flow from process to process, integrated quality
control, all employees are inspectors
Basic manufacturing processes - Answer-Casting and foundry, forming or metalworking, machining,
joining and assembly, rapid prototyping, and other.
Casting and Foundry - Answer-Raw materials molded into desirable shape. Excess material is recyclable.
Forming and metalworking - Answer-Uses material that has been cast. Modifies the shape, size, and
physical properties of the material. Uses hot and cold forming.
Rolling - Answer-A forming and metal working process when material passes through a series of rollers,
reducing its thickness with each pass.
Forging - Answer-A forming and metalworking process when material is shaped by the controlled
application of force usually by a blacksmith.
Extrusion - Answer-A forming and metal-working process. Material is compressed and forced through a
die to produce a uniform cross-section.
Wire, rod and tube drawing - Answer-A forming and metal working process. Material is pulled through a
die to produce a uniform cross section.
Cold forming and forging - Answer-A forming and metalworking process when slugs of material are
squeezed into dies
