    When considering efficient manufacturing, manufacturers should take into account factors like reducing waste, environmental impact, and costs while maximizing productivity, quality, and output. This includes reducing the number of parts and storage space needed. Ordering pre-made components is advantageous because it reduces in-house processes and machinery requirements. Specialist suppliers may offer quality, bulk ordering incentives, and handle inspection, testing, and repairs. This allows the manufacturer to focus on assembly while benefiting from suppliers' expertise.

    Worksheet 6 Efficient manufacturing

    Unit 11 Product design considerations

    Answers
    Task 1
    When considering ease and efficiency of manufacture, what factors should a manufacturer take
    into account?
     Reducing waste, pollution and use of raw materials
     Minimising environmental impact
     Maximising productivity
     Maximising output
     Maintaining quality
     Reducing costs
     Reducing the number of parts needed
     Reducing storage space required
     Increases production rate – shipped to market quicker
     Reducing the risk of errors during manufacture

    Task 2
    Tick the correct type of snap fittings used in the following products

    Plastic Hub Cap Remote Control Lunch box lid Highlighter lid

    Cantilever

    Annular

    Torsion

    U-shaped

    Suggest two disadvantages for using internal moulded screw posts.

     Restricted to using screws – self tapping screws


     Overtightening the screw can damage/strip the screw thread or snap the screw post
     Using a different type of screw (longer or thicker) can damage the part
     If the screw is lost it can make the product unsafe to use until it is replaced.
     If the screw post is damaged repairs will be difficult, the two parts will not securely fit and
    may need to be replaced.
     If the casing is damaged it is unlikely to be repaired and sourcing the part can be difficult
    if it is a discontinued product.
     Internal electrical components cannot be replaced with newer models as it may have
    different dimensions and not fit into the cavity, pushing out the two parts.

    Task 3
    Study the image of the car stereo below

    Explain why an automotive manufacturer would choose to order in pre-made components such
    as this car stereo.

     Reduces the processes and thus machinery and skilled labour needed in-house

     Parts can be ordered as required (JIT) reducing the number of parts kept in stock

     Specialist suppliers may have a reputation for quality which will enhance the reputation
    of the vehicle

     Suppliers may offer cost incentives for bulk orders

     Components can be inspected and tested by the supplier to meet regulatory standards,
    whether imported or made in the UK

     Using a trusted reputable brand inspires confidence in the consumer

     Faulty parts can be sent back without the need for in house repair

     Using removable brought in stereos gives the consumer the opportunity to upgrade their
    stereo easily is desired

     At end of life, these brought in parts can be easily disassembled / removed and
    components can be reused, repaired, replaced or recycled
