A A proposed work plan which sets realistic deadlines and identifies critical points. Apply surface finishes Appropriate use of resources and materials in manufacture and maintenance As designers and consumers As workers within the production environment Assemble and fit parts correctly B Batch production; Be aware of other ‘Smart’ and modern materials as they become commercially available. Be flexible and adaptable in responding to changing circumstances and new opportunities C CAD CAM Carry out a product analysis of commercially manufactured products Carry out testing, evaluation and modification of products. Cell production Conduct testing or trialing to make decisions on materials, production processess and selection Consider issues that affect planning Consider the capability required to manufacture in batch quantity Consider whether ideas meet the original need Continual flow process Correct use of marking-out, measuring and testing tools; Correct use of tools, equipment and components D Demonstrate an ability to express the results of research Desk top publish Develop a design brief for a marketable product E Efficient material preparation. Environmental effects: Evaluate ideas against the specification and modify where necessary Examine the intended purpose of the product Extract problems from verbal, visual and statistical information F Fully evaluate product and production G Generate and record a range of design proposals

H Have an awareness of the importance of self-finishing and applied finishing How far existing products satisfy their needs and fulfill their purpose How the product meets manufacturability and maintenance requirements I Identify and evaluate how existing products fulfill the needs of their intended users Identify the range of users and the market for which the product is intended Identify the resources needed for the solution to be realized Identify, with reasons for selection/rejection for product development In-line assembly J Job production; Just in time K Know how materials can be combined and processed to create more useful properties Know how to prepare for manufacture ensuring economical use of material Know how to shape and join various types of metals in a variety of forms Know how to shape and join various types of plastics in a variety of forms Know how to shape and join various types of timber in a variety of forms including carcase, stool, frame and slab constructions L Linear motion in mechanical systems M Match materials and components with tools, equipment and processes Mechanisms that change linear motion into rotary motion i.e. rack and pinion; Mechanisms that change rotary motion into reciprocating motion i.e. cam, crank. Mechanisms that reverse the direction of motion i.e. marked spur gears,geartrain; Mechanisms that turn motion through a right angle i.e bevel gear, worm and wormwheel; Mould and size text, and/or graphics to suit requirements O Oscillating motion in mechanical systems P Personal safety Procedures that could be set during production to ensure quality Produce and use a detailed plan of work against a realistic time schedule. Produce bar charts, pie charts, flowcharts from data Produce graphics Produce process and block diagrams Produce time plans and work schedules Proper procedures for the preparation of materials; Provide a detailed description of the design

R Reciprocating motion in mechanical systems Recognise that computer systems can control machines and equipment Repetitive flow Risk assessment Rotary motion in mechanical systems S Safe working practices. personal protection and the safety of others. Simulate production by developing a system to control the manufacture of a product individually and/or in batch quality Social, moral, economic, environmental and aesthetic implications T The importance of accuracy when assembling products U Understand how CAD/CAM is used in industrial manufacturing Understand how CAD/CAM is used in the manufacture of single items and small batches Understand that control is a necessary part of production and marketing. Understand that to achieve the best use of material and understand the use of pre-manufactured standard components Understand the packaging, marketing, and advertising implications of a product Understand the relevance of function and aesthetics Understand the use of pre-manufactured standard components Use ICT to produce flow charts. Use appropriate industrial applications when working with familiar materials and processes. Use graphic techniques and ICT Use graphic techniques and ICT to generate, develop, model and communicate a design proposal. Use mock-up models to check on the idea feasibility Use of colouring media Use of datum edges. Use of drafting aids Use of drawing instruments Use of tools and equipment for model making W Work by deforming Work by fabricating Work by reforming Work by wasting
