Lesson slides on production planning

1. Production Planning
After Development, Before Realisation

2. • Plan and think through the entire process of making the
product through production planning
• Understand and apply the different types of plan which includes:
1. Working drawings/part drawings
2. Cutting list
3. Flow chart
4. Production schedule
At the end of the lesson, students are able to:

3. 1. Working drawings/ Part drawings
• Provides detailed views of the product using orthographic projections.
• Views include all measurements in mm needed to make a product
• Correct symbols to be used
Ø for diameter, R – radius
• The right type of line convention should be used.

4. Example of part drawings
Part 1
Side cover
Points to take note:
1. Indicate dimensions of the parts clearly (in mm)
2. Indicate part number and description clearly for
each part.
3. Part number and description should be consistent
throughout.
4. Show at most two views of the product in part
drawings. (plan view plus either side or front
view)

5. 2. Cutting list
Cutting list provides details of materials, sizes and number of parts
used in the product.
Example of a cutting list
Part no. Description Dimension (mm) Material Colour Quantity
1. Side cover 210 x 210 x 3 Acrylic Opaque
yellow
2
Part number must be the same as in part drawing
Part dimension is slightly larger so filing can be done. NOT cut to size
Indicate whether it is opaque or transparent

6. • A flow chart is a diagram that shows everything that needs to
done from start to end of project.
• Different symbols are used in a flow chart to distinguish the
different types of event
• Refer to DT guidebook page 9
3. Flow Chart

7. Example of a
flow chart

8. • Production schedule shows the stages of production on a single
chart. It includes all the tasks and a timeline.
• It provides a way of checking and monitoring the progress of
production.
• Refer to DT guidebook page 9.
