Lesson 1- PRODUCTION FACILITIES
Introduction
In this age of technology there is a dynamic change of materials that we are using
from hard goods to soft goods. Overtime from stone age, the industry move to
copper age then to iron age. Today as we move to the age of mechanization , and
computer manufacturing, the development of materials is changing fast finding
alternatives to replace traditional materials in the industry.
In the context of production, it is defined as a collection of men , machine tools,
and material-moving systems. Together they accomplish a manufacturing sequences
resulting in a finished product.
In the current age, researchers developed plastics, composite materials and
exotic alloys to replace the traditional materials of metals.
First, as future engineers you must know the basic of manufacturing activities
such as : man, machine, material, methods and money (5M) and production
facilities in an arrangement of a system.
Overview
Industrial Materials- are substances that are used in the manufacture of hard
goods, Example of these are the equipments and machines utilized by an industry.
Industrial Processes- are the activities or the steps and ways on how to
manufacture a certain product.
Manufacturing- the art of crafting a material into finished product.
Production Facility- means a factory, a manufacturing plant or production
plant , usually a building filled with machinery where workers manufacture items or
operate machines under several processes.
Most modern production facility are warehouse-like that contain heavy
equipment used for assembly line production. Large factories are located now in
far-flung area because of some environmental impact of their product, also to find
convenient ways of operation like traffic problems, low cost operation and others
factors that hinders their operation.

For student’s exercises : Report on the topic above and expound your
understanding on each.
Types of Production:
Types of facilities
Carmen asor 2020
1. Manufacturing- Here the product is being made or produced. Here the material
undergo a physical or chemical change.
2. Retail facility- it is a stationary source at which the income comes from direct
sales to end-users.
Exercises: Will you mention some Local companies that uses these kind of
facilities.
Types of Layout:
1. Product or Line layout- If all the processing equipment and machines are arranged
according to the sequence of operations of the product, the layout is called product
type layout. In this type of layout, only one product is produced in an operating area.
This product must be standardized and produced in large quantities in order to justify
the product layout.
The raw material is supplied at one end of the line and goes from one operation to
the next quite rapidly with a minimum work in process, storage and material
handling.
Limitations:
1. no flexibility
2. manufacturing cost increases with a fall in production.
3. If one or two lines are running low, there is a considerable machine idleness.
4. A single machine shutdown,the whole production is shutdown.
5. specialized supervision is essential.
2. Process or functional layout- this kind of layout is useful where low volume of
production is needed. If the product is not standardized, the process layout is more
low desirable, because` it has creator process flexibility than other. This type of
laypout, the machines are not arranged according to the sequence of operations but
are arranged according to the nature or type of operation.This is applicable for non
repetitive jobs.
Advantage
1. less duplication of machines.
2. Better supervision through specialization at various level.
3. flexibility in equipment and man power thus load distribution ois easily controlled.
4. Better utilization of equipment available.
5. breakdown of equipment can be easily handled by transferring work to another
machine.
6. better control of precision process especially where much inspection is required.
Limitations
1. expensive handling of materialws because of long flow lines.
2. production Cycle time is more due to long distance and waiting at various points.
3. Bottle neck occur since more work is in queue.
4. more floor area is required.
5. Counting and more scheduling is more tedious.
6. specialization becomes monotony for workers and once laid out, hard for them to
find another job.
The least important for today’s industries.The major component remain in a fixed
location, other materials, parts ,tools, machinery, manpower.
The major component or body of the product remain in a fixed position because it is
too heavy. Ex. Boilers, hydraulic, steam turbines and ships.
Advantages
Limitations
Assignment;
1. Search on the other types of layout and prepare your materials from You Tube to
be reported on line. Give examples of companies who uses each type of layout.

LESSON 2-PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS
Introduction
The design engineer is always limited by the properties of different materials and
its availability. When a material is undergoing a variation in state or in testing
conditions, the material is affected and may not come up with a good quality and
function.
The properties depend on the structure of the atomic, molecular, microscopic and
macroscopic level.The physics of material will be covered by this module.
Physical and chemical properties will be highlighted. For metals , a DIY experiments
might be helpful for you to understand well the properties of different materials in
your home. The virtual experiments can also be viewed in the references provided.
Overview
The material properties are size, shape, density of the particles and their intrinsic
mechanical properties such as modulus, yield stress, fracture toughness,
malleability, ductility. Electrical properties such as conductivity and chemical
properties such as corrosion resistance,plasticity,and density.
The different materials with their respective properties are;
Metals- most of them are strong, hard and shiny and it can be hammered into
different shapes.
Plastics-materials that are made from chemicals and they are not found in nature. It
is manmade.
Glass- is made from sand,soda sh, limestone-melted at very high temp. to form this
new material
Wood- a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems & roots of trees. It is
an organic material, natural composite of cellulose fibers.
Fabrics-origin of this are animals such as wool, silk), mineral (asbestos, glass fiber),
plant(cotton, flax, jute, bamboo) and synthetic(nylon, polester, acrylic, rayon)

resistance and less damaging to human skin or eye tissue.
9. Acetal(POM)- Very high tensile strengthwith high creep resistance.Used to
bridge thegap between plastic and metals.Strong resistance to heat, abrasion and
chemicals.Low coefficient of friction. Used for gears.1
10. Nylon(PA)- Used for clothing, reinforcement in rubber materiallike car tires. Used
also for ropes and injection molded parts for vehicles and mechanical equipment.
A substitute forlow-strength metals because of its high strength, high temperature
resilience andchemical compatibility.

jewelries and coins.
2. Strong metals like iron & metyal alloys Such as stainless steel are used for
constructions, build structures1, ships, and vehicles.
6. Mercury used inthermometr to check the temperature,
The eutectic temperature- is the lowest possible melting temperature over all of
the mixture ratios for the involved components.
The coordinates in the phase diagram defining a eutectic point are the: percentage
ratio(atomic/molecular ratio axis) and the eutectic temperature(on the temperature
axis)
Plotted in the x axis at the bottom of the diagram (in percentage composition) . The
temperature is plotted in the y axis.
The diagram ;
Composition x will be all liquid above the temp. T 1 , at T1 crystals of A begin to form.
Lowering of temp. ,more crystal A is formed.,so more liquid B is enriched.
As the temperature is lowered, the liquid composition is will changed from point 1 to
point 2 to point 3.and finally to T E (Eutectic point)
Result is:
liquid crystallizes completely
pure A & pure B remain
the proportion will be at that original mixture of 80% A and 20 % B.
In abbreviated form:
