Production Methods
-
Scale of production
One off
Bespoke, unique specific to customer requirements
-
-
-
-
Bespoke clothing, furniture and jewellery
Batch
-
-
machine programmed so each is the same (moulds, templates,jigs)
-
-
-
Mass production
The process is broken down into stages and each process is done as the product moves down the assembly line
-
High productivity so production cost is low making it more economic allowing there to be a more competitive price
-
-
-
Continuous
-
-
-
almost entirely automated, high productivity, low labour costs
-
-
pulp, paper, metal smelting and casting
Sustainability
Finite resources- limited supply or cannot be reproduced, use should be avoided
Non-finite resource- abundant supply, can be grown and replace at the rate that they are being used
Can be measured in
-
-
impact on environment - mining/ harvesting, availability
Maintenance, appropriate use of material
-
-
Life Cycle Assessment
Extraction and Processing - energy used for extracting the raw material or producing it through farming or other methods ready for manufacturing
Manufacturing and Production - energy required to manipulate the raw and refined materials to produce the product
