Diplomas and Vocational work provide pupils and students with a way of learning that is based the study of business and industry. Furthermore, it allows pupils/students to study in a business and industrial context. Below are diploma/vocational projects whereby pupils build a portfolio of work based on their own research and investigation, linked closely to business and industry methodology. This section has close links with the design process section, equipment and processes, gears, mechanisms, microcontroller andelectronics sections of this site so it is advisable to use both together.

THE CD-ROM STORAGE PROBLEM
|
COMPANY ORGANISATION
|
SCALES OF PRODUCTION
| ||
This unit takes pupils through the stages involved in the design of a storage unit and involves working as part of a team
|
This unit looks at the way departments are organised and the way they function within a company. The work roles of people in departments are investigated. All work in the classroom should be linked to a visit to a company.
|
In this unit pupils will study 'scales of production', including single item, batch and continuous production.
Industrial visits or video examples of each scale are essential for this section of the course

SCALES OF PRODUCTION - CASE STUDIES
| ||||
When designing a product you will have to decide how it will be manufactured (made) in industry. Your final design could be manufactured by continuous production, batch production or single item production Your choice will depend on a number of factors, the most important being the customer or number of customers. Below is a simple Case Study of each scale of production. When you are working on a project you will need to explain how your design could be manufactured through each scale.
| ||||
The manufacture of an individually designed and hand-made guitar.
|
The manufacture of a (batch) - large number of bicycles
|
The continuous manufacture - production 24 hours a day - of car bodies.
