INTRODUCTION
Manufacturing is the use of machines, tools and labour to move things for use or sale . The term refers to the range of human activity from handicraft to high-tech but it is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale .
Mass production
Mass production is the production of large amounts of standardized products including , especially and on assembly line
Mass production is capital intensive and energy intensive and it uses high proportion of machinery and energy in relation to workers
Just In Time Manufacturing
Just-in-time (JIT) is an inventory strategy that strives to improve a business's return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs. To meet JIT objectives, the process relies on signals, or Kanban(Kanban) between different points in the process, which tell production when to make the next part. Kanban are usually 'tickets' but can be simple visual signals, such as the presence or absence of a part on a shelf. Implemented correctly, JIT can improve a manufacturing organization's return on investment, quality, and efficiency.
FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING
Flexible manufacturing is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in the case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted .
This flexibility generally considered in two categories
MACHINE FLEXIBILTY:- it covers the system ability to be changed to produce new products type and ability to change the order of operations executed on a part
2 . ROUTINE FLEXIBILTY:-which consists the ability to use multiple machine to perform same operations on a part, as well as the system ability to absorb large scale changes , such as in volume capacity or capability
