 Three Main Stages of The
Production of a Machined Part
Rough Forming
Casting, Forging, Welding, Rolling

Finishing
Drilling, machining, surfacing

Assembling
The assembly of parts
 Types of Production
1. Custom Production

2. Job-lot Production

 Manufacturing
Manufacturing can be defined in two ways:
Technologically
Economically

 Technologically?
Technologically manufacturing means: is the
application of physical and chemical processes
to alter the geometry, properties, and/or
appearance of the given starting material to make
product or part.
Manufacturing also includes assembly of multiple
parts to make products.
 Economically
Economically: manufacturing is the
transformation of materials into items of
greater value by means of one or more
processing or assembly operations.
Examples:
1. When iron core is converted
into steel – value is added
2. When sand is transferred
into glass-value added
3. When petroleum is refined
into plastic-value is added
