UNIT 39: MODERN MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

Unit 39: Modern Manufacturing Systems

Level: 3
Unit type: Internal
Guided learning hours: 60

Unit in brief
Learners will investigate the principles of processing systems used in manufacturing and how
operations are organised to make the most efficient use of time, materials and equipment.

Unit introduction
One of the key drivers for business success in manufacturing organisations is how operations
are organised and how they respond to economic, social and technological change. It is vital that
appropriate manufacturing systems and processing methods are employed to manufacture products
safely, sustainably and cost effectively, and that these systems and methods are reviewed and
improved regularly. Organisations that have embraced business improvement techniques, such as
Lean, have found them to be transformative, enabling increased efficiency and profitability across
their organisations.
You will study the activities controlled by manufacturing operations and how the nature and
performance of different areas may be influenced by current and future social and technological
trends. You will examine how factory layouts are structured and organised and how the passage
of a product through a factory is coordinated. Lastly, you will investigate Lean tools and
improvement techniques before applying them to a manufacturing simulation to see their
potential impact first hand.
All manufacturing industries, including aerospace, automotive, food, rail, biomedical and chemical,
employ manufacturing engineers. This unit will help to prepare you for employment, for example as
a manufacturing technician, for an apprenticeship or entry to higher education.

Learning aims
In this unit you will:
A Understand the functions of manufacturing operations and factors influencing their
success
B Examine process systems that are commonly used in manufacturing industry
C Investigate the principles of Lean manufacturing and how these influence
productivity.
