2. 2
What is Manufacturing?
Manufacturing is the application of physical
and chemical processes to alter the geometry,
properties, and appearance of a starting
material to make parts or products for a given
application
5. 5
Purpose of Manufacturing
Manufacturing is the transformation of materials
into items of greater value by means of one or more
processing and/or assembly operations
7. Manufacturing a Product: General
Considerations
Material Selection
Processing Methods
Final Shape and Appearance
Dimensional and Surface Finish
Economics of Tooling
Design Requirements
Safety and Environmental Concerns
10. Casting Processes
Introduction of molten metal into a mold cavity;
upon solidification, metal conforms to the shape
of the cavity.
Die Casting Sand Casting
11. Forming and Shaping Processes
Bulk deformation processes that induce shape
changes by plastic deformation under forces
applied by tools and dies.
Forging
Extrusion
15. Manufacturing Processes
for Plastics
Plastics are shipped to manufacturing plants
as pellets or powders and are melted just
before the shaping process. Polymers melt at
relatively low temperatures and are easy to
handle.
Plastics can be molded and formed, as well as
machined and joined, into many shapes with
relative ease.

19. Classification of Industries
1. Primary industries – cultivate and exploit natural
resources
Examples: agriculture, mining
2. Secondary industries – convert output of primary
industries into products
Examples: manufacturing, power generation,
construction
3. Tertiary industries – service sector
Examples: banking, education, government, legal
services, retail trade, transportation

21. Production Facilities and Layout
Facilities organised in the most efficient way to serve the
particular mission of the plant and depends on:
Types of products manufactured
Production quantity
Product variety
22. Production Quantity (Q)
Number of units of a given part or product produced
annually by the plant
Three quantity ranges:
1. Low production – 1 to 100 units
2. Medium production – 100 to 10,000 units
3. High production – 10,000 to millions of units
23. Product Variety (P)
Number of different product or part designs or types
‘Hard’ product variety – products differ greatly
Few common components in an assembly
‘Soft’ product variety – small differences between
products
Many common components in an assembly
24. Low Production Quantity (Qlow)
Job shop – makes low quantities of specialized and
customized products
Products are typically complex (e.g., specialized
machinery, prototypes, space capsules)
Equipment is general purpose
Plant layouts:
Fixed position
Process layout
27. Medium Production Quantities (Qmed)
1. Batch production – A batch of a given product is
produced, and then the facility is changed over to
produce another product
Changeover takes time – setup time
Typical layout – process layout
Hard product variety
2. Cellular manufacturing – A mixture of products is
made without significant changeover time between
products
Typical layout – cellular layout
Soft product variety
29. High Production (Qhigh)
1. Quantity production – Equipment is dedicated to the
manufacture of one product
Standard machines tooled for high production
(e.g., stamping presses, molding machines)
Typical layout – process layout
2. Flow line production – Multiple workstations
arranged in sequence
Product requires multiple processing or assembly
steps
Product layout is most common
42. Drawing
Commonly used to make wires from round bars
stock (bar)
F (pulling force)
wire
die
stock (bar)
F (pulling force)
wire
die
Similar to extrusion, except: pulling force is applied
47. Investment casting
Wax pattern
is cast
Wax removed
by melting
Molten metal
solidifies in cast
Ceramic mold is
removed
Ceramic mold
(hardened slurry)
4-part pattern tree
56. Machining – removal of material…
Sawing –using a toothed blade.
Milling – from a flat surface by a rotating cutter tool.
Planing – using a translating cutter as workpiece feeds.
Shaping - from a translating workpiece using a stationary cutter.
Boring - increasing diameter of existing hole by rotating the workpiece.
Drilling- using a rotating bit forming a cylindrical hole.
Reaming – to refine the diameter of an existing hole.
Turning - from a rotating workpiece.
Facing - from turning workpiece using a radially fed tool.
Grinding - from a surface using an abrasive spinning wheel.
Electric discharge machining - by means of a spark.
