Assembling torches
Processes in the assembly sequence (in no particular order):• Inserting batteries• Screwing battery cover on• Inserting bulb• Screwing bulb cover on• Putting adhesive label on the side
Now devise:• Three assembly sequences that would work• Three assembly sequences that wouldn’t work• From the three that would work, why one might be slightly better than the
others

Three organisational models
1. Each student has a supply of all the components and assembles complete
torches
2. Students are arranged in a row and each undertakes one stage in the
assembly process, e.g. the first might put the batteries in the body, then
passes it to the second, who screws the battery lid on, etc
3. Students are arranged in small teams, each of whom perform a sub-
assembly. The part assembled torches are then stored temporarily before
going on to the next sub-assembly. For example, the first sub-assembly
might be the batteries going in and the lid being screwed on. The part
assembled torches then await the next sub-assembly, such as the label being
applied

Lean manufacturing
• Lean manufacturing is an approach to the management of production which
uses the concept of “added value” for the customer to be the prime
determinant for assessing the use of resources.
• In other words, every stage and every use of time, skill or materials should be
assessed in terms of whether it makes the product more valuable to the
customer.

Just in Time production
• The “Just in Time” (JIT) approach to production aims to reduce the stock of
components held by a manufacturer. The aim is to have the material needed
arrive at the right time in the right place
• This eliminates holding stocks that have been bought in, in advance, and need
storage.
