History of Manufacturing
Evidences of manufacturing activities :
Before the middle ages

Manufacturing Processes
Manufacturing process is the manufacturing activities that are used to
make products. Many manufacturing processes
are used to
manufacture, transform or produce parts and shapes.
Casting
Refers to a metal forming process that delivers a liquid molten
metal into die or mould.
Forming and shaping
Metal forming processes in which the shape of workpieces such as
sheets, rods or tubes is changed to a desired configuration.
Examples are rolling, forging, extrusion etc.
Rapid prototyping
Refers to a solid free-form manufacturing processes
The process of producing a physical prototype directly from CAD
3D surface or solid modeling
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Technology MARA
Contd.
Joining processes
A process of joining or assembling two or more materials or
parts together.
Examples are welding, brazing, soldering, diffusion bonding,
adhesive bonding and mechanical joining.
Machining
Refers to a broad term used to describe removal of material
from a workpiece, in which the size or surface properties of a
part or workpiece are changed.
Examples are cutting, turning, boring, drilling, milling etc.
Finishing operations
An operation used for final finishing of part, to remove any
remaining stock and creates the desired surface finish.
Examples are honing, lapping, polishing, burnishing, deburring
etc.

Summary
Almost all products used by people are dependent on manufacturing.
The constant improvements to/and efficient use of the manufacturing
tools affect the standard of living of any nation and the quality of life of
the people. Only with manufacturing tools we be able to enjoy such
pleasures as the automobiles, aeroplanes, televisions, home appliances
and many more items on which we rely upon in our daily life.

In competitiveness market :
Manufacturing company survives if they produce high quality
product at low cost, at the right time, place and quantity to
the market.
Thus, the harmonization, interaction and integration of many
elements, i.e. design, material selection, manufacturing
processes etc. must be emphasized from the very beginning.

Manufacturing Costs
Total cost of a product consists of :
Material cost cost of raw materials
Tooling cost cost of making the tools, i.e. die, mold, pattern, jigs
and fixtures ex: cost for die casting is higher than sand casting
Fixed cost e.g. electric power fuel, rent, insurance etc.
Direct labour cost labour cost from initial stage(raw material) to
end product
Indirect labour cost involves activities such as repair,
maintenance, quality, control, research etc.
Capital cost investment in building, land, machinery, tooling and
equipments
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Technology MARA
Breakdown of cost
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Technology MARA
Costs Reduction
Material cost
Substitution of materials

Working temperature (room or elevated temperature, etc.)
Material properties (ductility, hardness, etc.)
Manufacturing characteristics (machinability, castability, etc.)
Geometric features
Part, shape, size, thickness, dimensional tolerances, surface
finish requirements etc.
Part produced at or near final shape
Eliminate secondary process and hence reduce manufacturing
cost
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Technology MARA
Contd
Option of other possible methods
Cost of raw material
e.g. per unit weight of square bar is more expensive
than round bar
Quantity and rate of production
e.g. machining is for few parts and extrusion for large
quantity
