Timbers properties, sources and stock forms

Collaborative design for batch production

Manufacturing specifications

Batch production

Batch assembly

Evaluate and refine processes

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

to make sure all products meet the same standard

Why is quality control important in batch production?

A {{}} is the acceptable range of difference in size or weight in a finished product.

checking products before, during and after production

a range of acceptable measurement variation

Order the process of quality-controlled batch production.

Which of these best describes collaboration in design?

recording the exact details to build the product

Match the manufacturing stage to its purpose.

Order the stages of turning a design into a real product.

to make products faster and more efficiently

Components are individual parts that come together to form the final product.

What format can a manufacturing specification be presented in?

help break complex products into simpler parts

allows multiple identical products to be made at once
