Outline manufacturing processes.

Outline should also include the use of automation and the use of additive processes in manufacturing, as well as processes such as:

• Custom (e.g., job shop)
• Intermittent (e.g., job shop, batch, discrete)
• Flexible
• Continuous manufacturing

Outline should include a comparison of manufacturing operations that employ a combination of these types of processes.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What type of manufacturing processes do major automobile makers use?
• What are examples of custom-made products?
• What does continuous manufacturing mean? What might be made using that type of production?
• When would each type of manufacturing be used?
