Manufacture means handmade work. To manufacture is to produce with manual work. In the manufacturing process, the division of labor prevails, where each worker performs an operation using individual instruments. Manufacturing succeeded handicraft in the 15th century as a form of production and work organization.
Manufacture is a factory in which the production technique is handcrafted, but the work is performed by a large number of workers, who must complete a working day with time to start and finish, under the direction of a boss.
Although the term “manufacture” has its origins in “hand workshops”, today the expression is used to refer to factories or a large industrial establishment. The term “manufactured product” is used to name goods produced in industries.
Lean Manufacturing
Lean manufacturing is an operating philosophy created in Japan after World War II, specifically in the factory of Toyota, in order to eliminate waste and become competitive with car companies Americans.
Lean production aims at flexible manufacturing, with low inventories, with the reduction of breaks and failures, lean layouts, identification of activities that add value to the product, etc. The primary objective is to meet customer needs at the right time.
reverse manufacturing
Reverse manufacturing is a technological innovation that allows you to recover materials and raw materials that are part of of the so-called electronic waste, following the principle of losing less and preserving more, of deconstructing to rebuild.
With the principle of sustainability, this technology allows recovering scrapped products such as refrigerators, electronics, cell phones, batteries, computers, catalysts, among others, which after a screening process, are disassembled, classified, crushed, compacted and sent to a new production process, in the form of raw material.
machinery
Machine manufacturing is the mechanized industry, which emerged with the evolution of manufactures, with the introduction of steam engines to power machines that depended on human, animal, wind or Water.
The use of the machine increased the speed and volume of production, the worker started to produce a quantity more products in much less time compared to manufacturing was the beginning of modern industry. The worker started to feed the machine, control its speed and ensure its maintenance.
Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was the result of a process of great transformations in the mode of production of goods, which began in England, in the second half of the 18th century.
Manufacturing was gradually being replaced by machinofacture. The owners of manufacturing workshops began to invest in new production techniques and new technologies, such as the steam engine and the mechanical loom.
The increasing introduction of machines into workshops has brought about a revolution in the production of goods. It was the beginning of the "First Industrial Revolution", characterized by the division of labor and specialization of the worker in a given task, by the use of machines powered by the heat energy of mineral coal, by salaried work and by mass production and standardized.
The discovery of new energy sources - oil, water (hydroelectric plants), uranium and other dated inventions between the second half of the 19th century and approximately the first half of the 20th century, they are part of the “Second Revolution Industrial".
From the 1970s onwards, the development of electronics and the emergence of information technology enabled the introduction of new production techniques. A new phase of industry began, known as the “Third Industrial Revolution”.
