Demonstrate understanding of advanced concepts used in manufacturing
This standard asks you to show you understand how advanced manufacturing works by looking at real manufacturing processes. You need to explain how safety is managed, how new technologies change manufacturing systems, and what influences manufacturing decisions (like what customers want or environmental concerns). You'll do this by studying an actual manufacturing process and explaining these concepts in depth.
You explain safety issues, identify how new technologies affect manufacturing systems, and describe what influences manufacturing priorities.
You go deeper by explaining how quality management techniques have actually impacted and changed a manufacturing process.
You discuss both how and why quality management techniques have been important in changing manufacturing practices, showing you understand the bigger picture of modern manufacturing.
