Demonstrate understanding of basic concepts used in manufacturing
You need to show you understand the core ideas behind how things are made in factories and manufacturing settings. This means learning about different types of manufacturing systems (like batch production or assembly lines), the techniques used in manufacturing processes, how to map out a manufacturing process visually, and what yield and quality control mean.
You describe the different types of manufacturing systems, techniques, and can draw a basic process flow diagram showing how something is made, plus you define yield and quality control.
You explain why particular manufacturing systems are chosen for specific situations, explain the key techniques used in a real manufacturing process, and explain how yield is calculated and how quality control actually works.
You discuss and analyze why specific manufacturing techniques were chosen for a process, and you consider how factors like social and environmental change might affect yield prediction and quality control measures.
