LINE MANUFACTURING

Manufacturing is the use of machines, tools and labor to produce goods for use or sale. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such finished goods may be used for manufacturing other, more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users – the "consumers".

MANUFACTURING TIMELINE

Steps Involved in Manufacturing a Product:

These are the basic steps involved in the production of a product. Please keep in mind that each project is different, with many variables and each of these steps may or may not be required.

Step 1 - You will meet with one of our consultants to identify your requirements.

Step 2 - We will review your project with the appropriate departments: Manufacturing, Production, Research & Development, Art.

Step 3 - We will provide you with a preliminary sample of your product for your evaluation.

Step 4 - Once formula samples have been approved, producers will assist customer in selecting and sourcing packaging for your product, and provide you with a price quotation.

Step 5 - Pilot Batch, Initial stability/compatibility tests are performed on your product, if appropriate.

Step 6 - If appropriate, producers will coordinate customers’ artwork and ingredient listings.

Step 7 - Pricing is confirmed, you place your order and production is started.

MANUFACTURING STEPS

creating the design for the products, sourcing raw materials, processing the raw materials, production and quality control marketing 

the manufacturing system

Creating The Design Of The Products: It is one of the first thing to be

considered in manufacturing. Designs should dictate the utility of the product to the end customer and it should not only be inherent to the product itself but as well as to the packaging. As is known, attractive packaging could catch customer’s attention,curiosity and interest to the product.

In designing the product and its packaging, it must be considered that it should be innovative, creative and contemporary.

Sourcing The Raw Materials: It depends upon the kind of

product that is being manufactured. Raw materials in manufacturing can be acquired from local sources or it might be imported from other countries. Local raw materials mostly comes from the nature such as from the mines, plantations, farms, fisheries and more.

Imported raw materials can be acquired mostly from other business firms such as crude oil, flour, chemicals, machinery and parts, electronic parts and several others.

Processing The Raw Materials:

Also depends from the kind of products that are manufactured. There are three manufacturingprocesses that can be used depending upon the nature of the product to be produced.

First is the “ analytical process”. This process involves the breaking down of the raw materials into smaller parts. Examples of analytical process is the processing of different preserve foods such as corned beefs, hot dogs, sausages and several others.

Second is the “synthetic process”, this process involves the assembling of ready made parts or by using mixed ingredients. Example is the manufacturing of automobiles wherein most of the parts are assembled.

 

Third is the “conditioning process”, in this process the raw materials may be change on its form in order for it to be used in another purpose. An example for this is the processing of marble which is reshaped and smoothened and change from its original appearance to be used as tiles.

Production and Quality Control:

This step assures that a single product has the same quality of the rest that are being manufactured. The use of workers who are trained for checking in every stage of manufacturing processes will ensure that the products undergoes quality control and meet the company’s standard.

Marketing:involves the distribution of the finish products to the consumers.

Success in marketing depends upon the products quality, demand price, advertisements and several other factors.

WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURING?

How to best deal with quality issues, and abrupt changes in demand

Ways to assess the impact of supply shortage

How to accurately measure the impact of production flow disturbance

Processes for managing the change implementation process for minimum waste and disruption

It is essential that companies first understand the impact external changes have on their operations, plans and competitiveness, and then proactively prepare themselves to thrive and grow in this new reality.
