  2. What is Mass Production? • The production of large amounts of standardized products, including and especially on assembly lines. • Assembly line- A process in which parts are assembled in an optimal order to create a finished product. Developed by the Ford Motor Company who implemented it into the creation of the Model-T.

  3. Jigs • Devices that hold and move a work-piece in relation to a tool. Often they are designed as carriages that slide. Jigs act as a guide for the tools that cut and shape the wood, and they are ideal for repetitive tasks.

  4. Fixtures • Stationary devices that hold the wood in a set position in relation to a tool. Some of the more typical examples of fixtures are fences -- such as a ripping fence on the table saw.

  5. Use on Machines Works with: • Table Saw • Chop Saw • Drill Press • Sanders • Various Hand Tools • A jig SLIDES, and a fixture GUIDES.

  6. Benefits • Keeps Parts Consistent • Eliminates User Variation • Faster • Safer • Easier

  7. “Push” Manufacturing • Producer pushes product toward consumer • Product is pushed from one step to the next: Manufacturing step 1,2,3etcstorageMarketing • Very wasteful: inventory=Wasted $$

  8. “Pull” Manufacturing • AKA Lean Manufacturing • Starts with demand • Nothing goes on to next step until it is required • Eliminates waste and inventory
