There are two main types of industrial production discussed: continuous production and assembly production. Continuous production involves manufacturing materials through continuous and uninterrupted processes like oil refining, chemical production, and steel casting. It aims to operate 24/7 with few shutdowns. Assembly production uses assembly lines where parts are added sequentially as a product moves through workstations, allowing for faster assembly with less labor compared to stationary assembly. The key principles of assembly production are placing tools and workers in the optimal sequence, using carriers to minimize part travel between stations, and employing sliding lines to deliver parts at convenient distances.

1. TYPE OF INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTIONS

2. Introduction
Industrial production is a measure of output of the industrial sector of the economy.
The industrial sector includes manufacturing, mining, and utilities. Although these
sectors contribute only a small portion of gross domestic product (GDP), they are highly
sensitive to interest rates and consumer demand.

4. Continuous production
◦ Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process
materials without interruption. Continuous production is called a continuous process or
a continuous flow processbecause the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being
processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical
or heat treatment. Continuous processing is contrasted with batch production.
◦ Continuous usually means operating 24 hours per day, seven days per week with infrequent
maintenance shutdowns, such as semi-annual or annual. Some chemical plants can operate for
more than one or two years without a shutdown. Blast furnaces can run four to ten years
without stopping.

5. Continuous production processes
◦ Some common continuous processes are the following:
◦ Oil refining
◦ Chemicals
◦ Synthetic fibers
◦ Fertilizers
◦ Pulp and paper
◦ Blast furnace (iron)
◦ Metal smelting
◦ Power stations
◦ Natural gas processing
◦ Sanitary waste water treatment
◦ Continuous casting of steel
◦ Rotary kilns for calcining lime or cement
◦ Float glass

8. Processor for continuous production
◦ Continuous Processors are used in the following processes:
◦ Compounding
◦ Mixing
◦ Kneading
◦ Shearing
◦ Crystallizing
◦ Encapsulating
◦ Packing

9. requirement for continuous production
◦ The Continuous Processor has an unlimited material mixing capabilities but, it has proven its ability
to mix:
◦ Plastics
◦ Adhesives
◦ Pigments
◦ Composites
◦ Candy
◦ Gum
◦ Paste
◦ Toners
◦ Peanut Butter
◦ Waste Products

10. assembly production
◦ An assembly line is a manufacturing process (often called a progressive assembly) in which
parts (usually interchangeable parts) are added as the semi-finished assembly moves from
workstation to workstation where the parts are added in sequence until the final assembly is
produced. By mechanically moving the parts to the assembly work and moving the semi-
finished assembly from work station to work station, a finished product can be assembled faster
and with less labor than by having workers carry parts to a stationary piece for assembly.
◦ Assembly lines are common methods of assembling complex items such as automobiles and
other transportation equipment, household appliances and electronic goods.

11. principles of assembly production
◦ The principles of assembly are these:
◦ (1) Place the tools and the men in the sequence of the operation so that each component part
shall travel the least possible distance while in the process of finishing.
◦ (2) Use work slides or some other form of carrier so that when a workman completes his
operation, he drops the part always in the same place—which place must always be the most
convenient place to his hand—and if possible have gravity carry the part to the next workman
for his own.
◦ (3) Use sliding assembling lines by which the parts to be assembled are delivered at convenient
distances.
