Chapter 01:

Introduction To
Manufacturing
Definition of Manufacturing
 Value addition processes by which raw
materials of low utility and value are
converted into high utility and valued
products with definite dimensions, forms
and finish

Value addition by manufacturing; Mild steel converted into bolt


Broad Classification of
Manufacturing Processes
Why is Manufacturing
Important?
 Manufactured goods are necessary for trade.
 Manufactured goods are crucial for the service
industries i.e. airline industry depend on
airplanes
 Each manufacturing job creates 3 other jobs
(‘multiplier effect’)
 Economic growth depends on manufacturing
 National power depends to a great extent on
manufacturing power.
 Eliminate poverty
Goals in Manufacturing
 Build quality into the product
 Economical and environmentally friendly
(green) manufacturing methods
 Meet all design requirements, product
specifications
 Achieving higher levels of productivity
 Continuous improvement of a company’s
products
Trends in Manufacturing
 To increase productivity & quality in respect of
global competitiveness
 Making micro and ultra precision components for
the modern electronics, computers and medical
applications
 Green manufacturing (sustainable)
 3-D printing
