COURSE: ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PROCESSES Module No. 1: INTRODUCTION
Lecture No-1 Manufacturing and Manufacturing Systems Manufacturing covers wide areas of inputs, processes and products. It reaches out to the demands in production for thousands of different varieties and types of goods. These demands range from large ships to hand drilling equipment, and from micro circuits to automobiles. The number and complexity of processes involved in the production of these goods varies drastically. The extent of alterations involved in these processes form the very basis for getting a bird’s eye view of the manufacturing activity. Some are simple primary product and some are simply transformed products such as basic metallic shapes, paint and utensils. The next are moderately transformed products such as wires, rods, metal pipes and tubes, while others are elaborately transformed products such as prefabricated metal shapes, wire products, glassware and ceramic products. The mechanization and extent to which it is involved in the process of production gives another view of manufacturing. Manufacturing covers a very wide range of situations right from robot controlled highly mechanized lines of production to some simple day
to day use equipments with mechanical activities. Thus, manufacturing industries, today, encompasses a dimension scale of more than fifteen orders of magnitudes. The design and manufacture of huge machinery, ship and spacecrafts on one side while nano and pico technology on the other side of the dimension scale, highlights the challenges ahead for engineers and technologists. With the advancement of technology newer materials, energy sources, manufacturing technology, decision-making and management techniques are being developed. These unfold lot of opportunities for the scientific and academic fraternity. At the same time, newer challenges in the form of environmental and other issues put stringent requirements on the technology. Global competition, the
