Production Techniques

ME C342
 Production Techniques?

• Creating, making, producing goods/things

by adding value for an exchange especially
on a large scale is called production.
• The processes or techniques by which the
goods are produced are called production
techniques or manufacturing processes

2
 Scope and Objective of the
Course
• This course is designed to enrich
theoretical, analytical as well as practical
knowledge about common production
techniques used in manufacturing of
products
• At the end of the semester you should know
how to select and implement a production
technique for a design.
