engineer is tasked with identifying strategies to enhance the quality of products or services while simultaneously reducing costs within their department.
engineering manager
their core duty is to take the
conceptual design of a product and translate it into a tangible reality. This involves specifying the
exact machinery, tools, and production processes needed for the efficient and effective
manufacturing of the product. They need to ensure that the product can be produced at scale with
precision and in a cost-effective manner.
manufacturing engineer
complex process of progressively transforming raw resources into a
finished product
manufacturing
differentt type of manufacturing process
- job shop
- batch flow
- worker-paced line flow
- machine-paced line flow
- continuous flow
- batch/continuous flow hybrid
Types of transformation process
a. manufacturing services
b. service processes
based on sales orders for variety of small lots
production facility that specializes in providing customized or made-to-order products, parts, or services for a variety of clients
job shop
process is where lots of generally own designed products are
manufactured. It is a method used to produce goods in batches, where each batch consists of a specific quantity of products that are produced as a group before moving on to the next batch.
batch flow process
refers to a production layout arranged in a sequence to accommodate processing of large volumes of standardized products or services.
-pace of work is determined by the worker
worker-paced line flow
process produces mostly standard products with machines playing a significant role. It is also known as an automated assembly line with automated machinery, is a manufacturing process in which products are assembled, processed, or manufactured with the primary driving force being automated machinery and equipment, rather than human labor
machine-paced line flow
characterized by the rapid rate at which items move through the system. This processing method is very appropriate for producing highlystandardized products like calculators, typewriters, automobiles, televisions, cellular phones,etc. uninterrupted manner
continuous flow
refer to the provision of services to persons by hand or with machinery.
structured series of activities, steps, and procedures designed to deliver a specific service to a customer or client
service process
offers a limited mix of services which results to some economies of scale in operations
requires low labor intensity and little or no customer interaction or customization.
service factory

organization that caters to the needs of a vast number of individuals concurrently. To meet this demand, they employ distinctive methods of service
delivery
mass service company
specialize in providing specialized services to other businesses or individuals
professional service firms
serves as an integral
component, similar to a foundational structure or framework that orchestrates various
activities leading to value creation
production system
six important activities of production systems
- Product Design
- Production Planning and Scheduling
- Purchasing And Materials Management
- Inventory Control
- Work-Flow Layout
- Quality Control
crucial aspect of creating products that meet customer
expectations by delivering reliable performance in line with their intended functions.
product design
described as the process
of predicting future sales for a specific product, translating these predictions into the
demand they generate for various production facilities, and making arrangements for
securing these facilities.
Production planning
