23 Manufacturing Processes (PO1) Engineering Manufacturing Systems(PO2) Quality Control and Quality Assurance (PO3) Engineering Production Planning (PO4) Scales of manufacture Selection of measurement devices Production requirements and planning Product Analysis Activity: planning the manufacture of a product. Working in small teams, learners should be given the designs for a complex product and a statement of the quantity required – each team could have a different design or product. This could be a prototype of a product that they need to disassemble first. The teams need to: • Identify each of the component parts, and an appropriate scale of manufacture to produce them. • Identify the main processes that could be used to manufacture the components, in sequence. They also identify any quality assurance activities and quality control checks that may be needed and the measurement devices needed to carry these out. Ideally these should be recorded a laptop or PC, to avoid identification of the author by the handwriting. The teams then provide their analysis to the teacher, who redistributes them to another team. Without guidance from the first team, each team then has to identify which of the products their instructions are for, justifying their selection. The other teams should give feedback on their decision. Product analysis forms Feedback given by the teams Context could be determined by the products or resources available; depending upon local companies. It could also be used to support the more general objectives of the qualification, for example, by focussing on a of different mechatronic products.
