Batch production

Design and technology

Using knowledge of timber properties and processes, pupils will work together to design a batch of tactile toys. They will prepare a manufacturing plan and develop their knowledge of quality control, applying this to checks throughout manufacturing to produce the batch within acceptable tolerances.

Collaborative design: tactile toys to teach

Physical activity and equipment requiring safe use

Use of equipment that may require supervision for safety, e.g. scissors in KS1, needles, paint, knives, cooking.

A single part of a product is called a {{}}.

Order the process of quality-controlled batch production.

A {{}} chart helps with time planning by showing tasks on a timeline.

It shows when each person’s birthday is.

How does using a Gantt chart help during production?

{{}} control ensures that every product in a batch is consistent and safe to use.

Identify this precise measuring tool that can be used to check whether components are the correct dimension or within the allowed tolerance.

When a tolerance of ‘± 0.1 mm’, is applied to a 5 mm dimension, what is the acceptable range of dimensions?

What type of chart is a way of displaying tasks visually in a schedule over time?

Match the scale of production to the product.
