  2. Methods of production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_production

    Job production is used when a product is produced with the labor of one or few workers and is rarely used for bulk and large scale production. It is mainly used for one-off products or prototypes (hence also known as Prototype Production), as it is inefficient; however, quality is greatly enhanced with job production compared to other methods ...

  3. Mass production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_production

    Also used for handling heavy items like reels of paper, steel or machinery are electric overhead cranes, sometimes called bridge cranes because they span large factory bays. Mass production is capital-intensive and energy-intensive, for it uses a high proportion of machinery and energy in relation to workers.

    Equipment used in aseptic processing of food and beverages must be sterilized before processing and remain sterile during processing. [1] When designing aseptic processing equipment there are six basic requirements to consider: the equipment must have the capability of being cleaned thoroughly, it must be able to be sterilized with steam, chemicals, or high-temperature water, sterilization ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_processing

    The Kodachrome process is called K-14. It is very involved, requiring 4 separate developers, one for black and white and 3 for color, reexposing the film in between development stages, 8 or more tanks of processing chemicals, each with precise concentration, temperature and agitation, resulting in very complex processing equipment with precise ...

  8. Lean manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing

    Lean also over-focuses on the present, which hinders a company's plans for the future. [87] Critics also make negative comparison of Lean and 19th century scientific management, which had been fought by the labor movement and was considered obsolete by the 1930s. Finally, lean is criticized for lacking a standard methodology: "Lean is more a ...

  9. Sandblasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandblasting

    A variant of wet blasting is vapor blasting (or vapour blasting in British English). In this process pressurized air is added to the water in the nozzle producing a high-speed mist, called "vapor". This process is even milder than wet blasting, allowing mating surfaces to be cleaned while retaining their ability to mate.
