General Introduction What is manufacturing? Manufacturing ( manu factus ): making products Continuous and discrete products From raw materials to final products by adding values High-value-added products Assembling 3/10
History of technology Products develop with processes 4/10
Manufacturing Technologies Product design and concurrent engineering Design involves the creative and systematic prescription of the shape and characteristics of an artifact to achieve specified objectives while simultaneously satisfying several constraints Design process Concurrent engineering (simultaneous engineering) to bring products to the marketplace as rapidly as possible, so as to gain a higher percentage share of the market and thus higher profits A prototype is a physical or virtual model of an individual component or product In concurrent engineering, the design and manufacture of products are integrated with a view toward optimizing all elements involved in the life cycle of the product CAD/CAE/CAM Design for service and green design, lean manufacturing 5/10
