1.10 Key principles and methodologies in engineering and manufac

By the end of this session, learners should be able to: Explain what constitutes a manufacturing process.

• A manufacturing process involves the transformation of raw materials into finished products.

• A manufacturing process is only about selling products to customers.

• A manufacturing process is the study of market trends.

• A manufacturing process refers to the transportation of goods only.

By the end of this session, learners should be able to: Describe the key types of manufacturing process.

• Describe the key types of manufacturing process.

• List the advantages of manufacturing process.

• Explain the history of manufacturing process.

• Identify the tools used in manufacturing process.

What is the fundamental goal of a manufacturing process?

• To produce a product that has a useful form.

• To increase the cost of production.

• To reduce the quality of the product.

• To delay the delivery of the product.

How many stages are there in the manufacturing process?

• Three stages

• Two stages

• Four stages

• Five stages

Which of the following is NOT one of the three stages in the manufacturing process?

• To change the physical properties of the raw material

• To change the shape and size of the workpiece

• To achieve the required dimensional accuracy (tolerances) and surface finish

• To market the finished product

List the three stages in the manufacturing process.

• 1. To change the physical properties of the raw material 2. To change the shape and size of the workpiece 3. To achieve the required dimensional accuracy (tolerances) and surface finish.

• 1. To increase the cost of production 2. To reduce the number of workers 3. To maximize the use of electricity.

• 1. To automate all processes 2. To eliminate manual labor 3. To use only advanced robotics.

• 1. To outsource all components 2. To focus only on packaging 3. To ignore quality control.

Why must an engineer have a good understanding of the range of manufacturing processes?

• To understand the advantages and limitations of each process.

• To increase the cost of production.

• To avoid using modern technology.

• To focus only on one manufacturing process.
