Manufacturing Technology

■ Reporting devices to acknowledge outside sources and integrate information into the report as in saying verbs and direct quotes ■ Technical word choices to define and classify the entity ■ Adjectives and adverbs to answer questions about quantity, size, shape, manner ( descriptions)

Differentiation in Action Skill Building

Simulation and Role-Playing Activities: ●​ Set up a simulated production line or mass-production system within the classroom or workshop. ●​ Assign students to different roles and tasks within the production line, such as assembly, quality control, packaging, or logistics. ●​ Encourage students to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement within the simulated system. Project-Based Learning: ●​ Develop a project where students design and operate a small-scale mass-production system to manufacture a product of value. ●​ This could involve creating a product prototype, planning the production process, assembling production lines, and implementing quality control measures. ●​ Students can document their planning, decision-making, and continuous improvement strategies throughout the project. Industry Case Studies and Analysis: ●​ Provide students with real-world case studies or examples of successful mass-production systems and supply chain operations. ●​ Encourage students to analyze these systems, identify key factors contributing to their efficiency, and propose potential improvements or modifications. Time and Motion Studies: ●​ Conduct time and motion studies within the simulated or project-based production systems. ●​ Students can observe and analyze the time required for each task, identify opportunities for streamlining processes, and optimize labor efficiency.
