CIP Code: 21.0110

Level: 9th grade

Units of Credit: 0.5

Prerequisite: None

Skill Certification: Yes

COURSE DESCRIPTION: A broad exploratory course that introduces students to the

manufacturing industry. Though hands-on activities students will learn how manufactures use

technology to change raw materials into finished products. The course will include: a brief

history of manufacturing, social impacts, types of manufacturing production, design processes,

properties of materials, manufacturing processes, safe use of tools and equipment, free

enterprise and marketing principles, and career exploration.

Three main manufacturing systems:

Continuous Manufacturing

Intermittent Manufacturing

Custom Manufacturing

Other vocabulary:

Mass Production

Objective 2.2 Students will understand the

advantages and disadvantages of the three

manufacturing production systems

Indicator 2.2.1

Continuous Manufacturing:

Advantages:

? Saves time

? Workers become very skilled in

doing one task

? Special tooling and trained workers

waste less material

? Especially effective with large

production runs

Disadvantages:

? Workers are only trained in one task

? Not effective for small production

runs

Intermittent Manufacturing:

Advantages:

? Products can be produced in sizable

quantities, but with definite starting

and stopping points

? Good for batch processing of specific

production orders

? Production can quickly change to

another production item at the end

of a run.

Disadvantages:

? Management must do more

planning to schedule the various

production runs

? Lots must be moved from station to

station

? Machines & tooling must be

changed for each production run

Custom Manufacturing:

Advantages:

? Excellent for small lots or one-of-akind

items.

? A customer can order the exact

product and features that they want

Disadvantages:

? Products cost more

? Workers must be highly skilled and

paid more

? Slowest form of production
