Introduction
? Manufacturing is the process of converting raw 
material into finished or semi finished part.
? Production is the use of man, material and machine to 
produce finished products.
? Production system can be defined as a transformation 
system in which a saleable product or service is created 
by working upon a set of inputs.

Production system
Production system can be broadly classified as-
? Job shop production- products are made to satisfy a 
specific order.
? Batch production- number of identical articles are 
manufactured either to meet a continuous demand or 
present demand.
? Mass production- same type of products is 
manufactured to meet the continuous demand of the 
product.

Production system & layout Cellular manufacturing
? Organizing the production equipment into 
machine cells, where each cell specialize in the 
production of a part family is called cellular 
manufacturing.
? It is an application of group technology in 
manufacturing.
? Cellular manufacturing can be implemented by 
manual or automated methods.
? When automated, the term flexible 
manufacturing is applied.
