Getting to know your unit


Engineering processes, whether concerned with the manufacture of a
Assessm ent product or the delivery of an engineering service, are the cornerstones
This unit will be assesse d of all modern industrial engineering. A single individual cannot carry
by a series of assignm ents out any complex industrial function effectively – often the coordinated
set by your tutor. efforts of hundreds or even thousands of people are required to
manufacture a complex product such as a car or an aeroplane. This unit
covers a range of practical and teamworking skills that are necessary
when manufacturing a product or delivering a service safely as a team.




How you will be assessed
This unit will be assessed by a series of internally assessed tasks set by your tutor.
Throughout this unit you will find assessment practice activities to help you work
towards your assessment. Completing these activities will not mean that you
have achieved a particular grade, but you will have carried out useful research or
preparation that will be relevant when it comes to your final assignment.
In order for you to achieve the tasks in your assignment, it is important to check that
you have met all of the assessment criteria. You can do this as you work your way
through each assignment.
If you are hoping to gain a Merit or Distinction grade, you should also make sure that
you present the information in your assignments in the style that is required by the
relevant assessment criterion. For example, Merit criteria require you to analyse, and
Distinction criteria require you to evaluate.
The assignments set by your tutor will consist of a number of tasks designed to meet
the criteria in the table. They are likely to take the form of written reports, but may
also include activities such as the following:
▸ Reviewing and analysing case studies based on the manufacture of an engineered
product or delivery of a service in terms of the processes used and the influence of
human factors.
▸ Creating engineering drawings using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
▸ Carrying out practical engineering processes both as a team leader and as a
member of a team.

In a small group, make a list of situations where you have had to work as
part of a team. Think about how teamworking compares with working alone
and make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches
to completing a task.

Products are types of goods that are manufactured and then sold to customers. Upon Aluminium 75–105
purchase, customers take ownership of products, which can then be used when the Brass 90–210
customer needs them until they break down or wear out and have to be repaired or
replaced. Products are physical items such as cars, washing machines and bicycles.
Services
A service can be described as a series of activities that provides benefit (value) to
customers. Examples of services are the processing of a credit card transaction by a
bank or an MOT inspection by a garage.

Key terms
Product – the final tangible outcome of a manufacturing process, often referred to
in economics as ‘goods’ (e.g. a car, television or chair).
Service – activities that provide some intangible benefit to a customer (e.g.
processing a credit card payment or performing an MOT inspection on a car).


Working in small groups, list some services that you might associate with the

engineering sector.
Hint Such services might involve disassembly, maintenance activities or part replacement.
Extend Choose one of the engineering services you identified and break it down into the
separate steps that would be involved in its delivery.

Common processes used to manufacture engineered products
Bench fitting
Bench fitting is the general term used for a wide range of engineering workshop
activities carried out at a bench, which needs to be substantial and rigid and usually
has a steel working surface. The fitter’s vice (see Figure 2.1) is possibly the most
important piece of equipment in bench fitting. It is used to secure a workpiece or
assembly in place while the engineer uses hand tools such as files, saws or taps.
