control-transportation-after-sales serviceUnit3 ManufacturingTask 2 Mass production and craft production are two production methods.List some products which are produced by the two methods.mass production:Nike coat,Nokia cell phone,Adidas shoes,Sharp TV,Midea electronic fan,etc.craft production:paper cutting,bags,shoes or clothes with embroidery made by ethnic groups,pottery,painting,calligraphy,etc.Unit3 ManufacturingUnit3 Manufacturing1.Most products adopt MP,so it is easy to find pictures of products of this kind.It is better to specify the brand when you search for relevant pictures because for example,though most clothes are produced by assembly line,some are still hand-made.2.DIY is very popular now.You can try the pictures of DIY products.You can also invite the students to name some.Unit3 ManufacturingStarting PointTextUnderstanding the TextActivity 1Dealing with LanguageFocusing On GrammarSettingUnit3 ManufacturingSetting:Food Organic is a factory that manufactures organic food products.Its Chief Engineer Colin is giving theory training to his apprentices to help them get a better understanding of mass production.Unit3 ManufacturingStarting PointTask 1 Work in pairs.Discuss the following questions with your partner.1.Have you ever used products produced by mass production?Name some.Some products produced by MP:computer,Lining sports clothes,Sony MP3,Gree air conditioner,Panasonic washing machine,etc.Unit3 Manufacturing2.How does mass production benefit customers?Share your view based on your experiences with your partner.Benefits of MP to the customers:1)Customers can buy products at a lower price.And more products are affordable.For instance,mass-produced shoes are much cheaper than hand-made ones.2)If the parts of a product break down,they can be replaced easily since the products and the parts are identical and standardized.For example,if the battery or earphone of a MP3 goes wrong,they can be replaced conveniently.3)It is easy and convenient for the customers to buy a big volume of some kind of product since a larger number of the products of this kind are produced by assembly line compared with hand-made products.4)The quality of MP products can be secured since the products are usually produced by machines with precision.Unit3 ManufacturingMass Production Mass production,also known as flow production or serial production,is the production of a large number of standardized products.It uses assembly line techniques,that is,parts and the partially completed products are moved on conveyor belts to the workers who work on the different steps of the manufacturing process.No worker will work on the whole product from start to fi nish and much of the process is automated.Unit3 Manufacturing Mass production requires that each worker repeats one or a few related tasks and uses the same tools to perform identical or near-identical operations on the stream of products on the assembly line.The relevant tools and parts are always at hand as required so that the worker spends little or no time retrieving or preparing materials and tools.Compared with traditional handcrafted methods of production,mass production makes the manufacturing process much faster.Furthermore,since each worker focuses on only one or a few tasks,they dont need to learn all the techniques involved in the whole process which means that training does not take too long.Unit3 Manufacturing Moreover,automation of the assembly line reduces the cost of labor and improves efficiency so larger quantities of the product can be manufactured at a lower cost and in a shorter time than handcrafted products.The probability of human error is also reduced because many tasks are carried out by machinery or with molds.Unit3 Manufacturing However,mass production does have disadvantages.Firstly,the input of capital to set up an assembly line is huge.Secondly,it is inflexible because it is difficult to alter a design or production process after the production line has been built.Thirdly,all products produced on a production line will be identical;therefore,introducing variety to satisfy individual tastes is not easy.Finally,if a fault occurs at any of the steps,the following processes may be affected or the line may have to be halted,which will lead to decreased efficiency and possibly wasted materials.Unit3 Manufacturing Therefore,mass production can be a double-edged sword.However,if quality control is strict and each step carefully monitored and inspected,the merits of mass production generally outshine its drawbacks.Unit3 Manufacturing Since mass production manufactures identical products which are difficult to satisfy individual tastes,DIY gains popularity.DIY refers to do it yourself.It originates in the western world in the 1960s.In Europe,people prefer to build and decorate their own houses by themselves.They can save money on one hand and decide the materials and designs on the other.Their houses can be unique,appealing and satisfactory.Now DIY prevails worldwide in various sectors.People make DIY food,hairstyle,gift,or daily articles like cups,wallpaper,furniture and so forth.Unit3 Manufacturing The first examples of manufacturing operations carefully designed to reduce production costs by specialized labor and the use of machines appeared in the textile industry in the 18th century in England.Much of the credit for bringing such early concepts as division of labor,machine-assisted manufacture,and assembly of standardized parts together in a coherent form,and creating the modern,integrated,mass production operation,belongs to the U.S.industrialist Henry Ford and his colleagues at the Ford Motor Company,where in 1913 a moving-belt conveyor was used in the assembly of flywheel magnetos.Henry Ford helped make mass production method prevail in the automobile industry and now mass production has also been adopted in both manufacturing sectors and non-manufacturing sectors,like agriculture.Unit3 ManufacturingUnderstanding the TextTask 2 Fill in the table with the information you find in Reading A.You can also add your own opinions.The manufacturing process is much faster.Training does not take too long.Larger number of products can be manufactured at a lower cost in a shorter time.The probability of human errors is reduced.The input of capital to set up an assembly line is huge.It is inflexibleIt is difficult to satisfy individual tastes.If any fault occurs at any of the steps,efficiency may be reduced and materials would be wasted.Unit3 ManufacturingTask 3 Fill in the blanks according to the text.Then translate the sentences into Chinese.1.Mass production uses a_ l_ techniques to make much of the

Internet for more information.Unit3 ManufacturingUnit3 ManufacturingUnit3 ManufacturingSuggested Answers:The production of flow in BMW is quite complicated.Firstly,all the parts are procured from global market according to the requirements of engineers.Secondly,sample cars are assembled.Thirdly,all the sample cars will be tested in different situations,like in bad weather,on slope or on zigzag road.Should any problems occur,the cars must be modified before another round of test.Only when all works,different assembly lines for motors,computer software and the whole car,etc.will be built respectively.After all these steps are finished,all whole cars will move on to lacquering and appearance treatment followed by quality control.Lastly,all the qualified cars will be delivered to the dealers.Unit3 Manufacturing BMW has a global manufacturing network and the BMW cars sold in China come from three manufacturing bases:Munich in Germany,South Africa and Shenyang in China.The imported cars have the same design and size while the cars from Shenyang have the same performance and functions but longer car body.From the model number you can judge where they are from.i is used for imported cars,like 525i while li is for home-made version,like 525li.Unit3 ManufacturingDealing with Language Task 4 Find out words in the text which are synonyms of the words in the first column of
