MANUFACTURING BASICS
This is the process of converting raw materials and parts into finished goods.
Manufacturing
The employee at the next step who receives another employee's work is called this type of customer.
Internal customer
This industrial revolution introduced electricity, assembly lines, and mass production.
The Second Industrial Revolution
Safety should be the number one priority for this group in the workplace.
All employees
Companies can perform these routinely to determine whether their safety measures are working or need improvement.
Routine safety inspections
This manufacturing segment commonly produces products in liquid or gas form, such as pharmaceuticals, shampoo, and toothpaste.
Process manufacturing
This decision-making approach means everyone accepts the same decision even if it is not everyone's first choice.
Consensus
Industry 4.0 is strongly associated with this type of facility where machines, sensors, devices, and people communicate in real time.
Smart Factory
This agency establishes and enforces mandatory workplace safety and health standards.
OSHA
This analysis is a strong method for integrating safety into the way a job is done.
Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
This technology creates an object from a digital 3D model by adding material layer upon layer.
Additive manufacturing
This department monitors and measures production processes and makes sure products meet customer requirements.
Quality Assurance (QA)
Nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and robots are examples of technology from this industrial era.
Industry 4.0
This agency protects human health and the environment, including protection from airborne and waterborne contaminants.
EPA
These detailed documents explain each step in a work process and help employees perform the job consistently.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
This improvement approach focuses on removing waste, reducing cost, and shortening the time needed to make and deliver products.
Lean manufacturing
On a high-performance work team, the team leader has this level of decision-making authority compared with the other team members.
Equal decision-making authority
Standardized in the early 1980s, this technology allowed machines from different manufacturers to be physically connected.
Ethernet
This law requires manufacturers to report information about chemicals they store, use, release, or dispose of.
EPCRA
Until corrective action is taken, safety concerns should be handled this way.
Tracked and reported
A product looks good and works correctly, but it will not connect to the machine it was designed for. This one of the Three Fs has failed.
FIT
This role sets the plant's vision, establishes goals, and creates or implements the plan for overall success and growth.
President or General Manager
This IIoT component allows networked devices to exchange information and act without human assistance.
Machine-to-machine communication
This group includes employees and managers working together to maintain a safe work environment.
Safety committee
The module identifies this as the number one cause of workplace accidents.
Overexertion
