Identify the correct raw materials and proper manufacturing processes by using the knowledge you learned from this course.

‘How Things are Made’. The purpose of this discussion is to make the course more interesting by relating the manufacturing processes to the real-world product development and manufacturing.

You are required to find a real-world product and find out ways to manufacture it. This product must be composed of at least 10 different components (parts).

Number your components. For each component, you will identify reasonable manufacturing processes to make it from raw materials. It may involve several materials and several processes.

You only need to go to the level of a specific process, not the actual operating parameters such as the spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Note that you can attach figures, youtube videos, and documents to help explain your plan to make your selected product. You will create a new thread in this forum and post the production plan for your product.

Make sure you identify the correct raw materials and proper manufacturing processes by using the knowledge you learned from this course. There are several websites on my watch-out list, including madehow.com.

Is a supply chain generic and transferable to any company or industry?

Managing Consumer Goods

According to Blanchard (2010), a supply chain is unique to an organization and although there are similarities, using a one size fits all approach will not be successful. Every organization has a unique supply chain, and although there can be best practices for the industry, there needs to be policies and procedures that address the unique features of the organization’s supply chain. In closing, if the processes are not developed to support the organization and the organization does not integrate contracts, logistics, and reverse logistics the organization will not have a successful supply chain.
