List three other specialist machines a Textile Manufacturer may use. 7. Use the standard flow chart symbols to describe the order of assembly of a sweatshirt made using the progressive bundle or batch production system. Include quality control checks. 8. Explain the differences between the ‘progressive bundle’ production system and ‘job production’. 9. The ‘job production’ system is a more expensive system to use. Explain why some companies still use this manufacturing system. 10. List three checks that would be made on a completed garment before it is packed and dispatched.
Textiles - Mass Production - Systems and Techniques Section 3: Quality Control 11. Some companies buy in ready-made garments to customise with embroidered logos. List four quality control checks that could be made on a garment when it is delivered to the company. 12. Describe three quality control checks that should be made on a garment during the manufacturing process. Section 4: Control Systems 13. Some textile manufacturers use bar codes to monitor production. Explain how this is done. 14. Explain how ICT can be used in the administration of a textiles company. Section 5: Globalisation 15. Explain how ‘consumer power’ has improved the working conditions in factories in Indonesia. Extension Activities Additional research will be needed to complete these tasks. 16. Explain the disadvantages of using computer aided design and computer aided manufacture in the textiles industry. 17. Job production and batch production are two manufacturing systems. Other manufacturing systems include repetitive flow production, continual flow, cell production, in-line assembly, just in time, and ‘off the peg’. Research these systems and give examples of the products made using each. 18. Explain the implications to a manufacturer of failing to use quality control systems when manufacturing textile products. 19. Health and safety is an important issue in the manufacturing industry and there is legislation in place to protect employees. Design a leaflet that could be given to employees to inform them about personal safety, risk assessment and the common safety symbols used in the workplace and on consumable materials. 20. Textile products have to be labelled to provide the consumer with information about the product. Research the type of information that needs to be included on labels attached to textile products. Present your research in the form of a leaflet that could be supplied to textile companies. 21. Explain how the packaging and marketing of a product can have a significant impact on the consumer. - 15 -
