Systems factory

Process control is the essence of modem factory systems. It is imperative at all times to have the process fully under control and for full records to be kept. 

Ure (1778-1857) is best known as the author of The Philosophy of Manufactures, the well-known apologia for the factory system much denigrated by Marx and Engels. Ure is characterised as an uncompromising enthusiast for technological development. He was certainly a promoter of Watt s reputation. See W. V. Farrar, Andrew Ure, FRS, and the philosophy of manufactures , Notes and Records of the Royal Society, 27 (1972-3), pp. 299-324.

It has often been suggested that industrialization proceeded in three revolutionary waves. The first one started in Britain in the 1760s and was characterized by the introduction of mechanized, power-driven textile machines. Between 1800 and 1830, the British industrial revolution was fuelled by the development of railways, steamships, the factory system and a liberal economic policy. At the same time, these processes of industrialization spread to some other European countries and North America.

By the end of the eighteenth century, the impact of greater scientific understanding (such as chemical analysis of raw materials) had changed the field of ceramics. At the same time, the ceramic industry played an influential role in the industrial revolution and the development of factory systems in England and across Europe. Ceramics became... 

The factory system based on internal mixers, screw extruders, calenders, and vulcanization presses has remained basically unchanged in the past half-century. Internal mixers have had major improvements, e.g., intermeshing rotors proposed by Francis Shaw and Company [C16] and Werner and Pfleiderer [L3], and variable intermeshing clearance rotors [PI] proposed by Pomini-Farrel SpA. Sophisticated computer control systems have been introduced. The early single hot-feed extruders have been replaced by cold-feed extruders with increasingly sophisticated design including pin barrel extruders [G7, H12, H13, M18, W16] as well as complex control systems. 

The development of the factory system saw the rapid movement of people from the country to the towns with consequent disruption of family life. Large numbers of workers and their families housed near the factories resulted in overcrowding, poor housing and poor sanitation. At work, people suffered appalling injury and disease and worked very long hours until eventually the pressures of humanitarians such as the Earl of Shaftesbury promoted legislation which improved working conditions and reduced the hours of employment of workers in factories, mines and elsewhere. 

Plan for factory system interfaces Consider and plan carefully for interfaces to other factory systems. These systems include board-handling equipment, bar code-reading systems, computer-aided design (CAD) systems for automatic download of board layout and component package information, and quality data management systems for SPC and historical quality tracking. 

Time can be used to win orders by companies who have learned that some customers do not want to wait - and are prepared to pay a premium to get what they want quickly. An example is Vision Express, which offers prescription spectacles in about one hour. Technicians machine lenses from blanks on the premises. Staff are given incentives to maintain a 95 per cent service level against the one-hour target. Vision Express has been successful in the marketplace by re-engineering the supply chain so that parts and information can flow rapidly from one process to the next. Compare this with other opticians in the high street, who must send customer orders to a central factory. Under the remote factory system, orders typically take about 10 days to process. An individual customer order is first dispatched to the factory. It then has to join a queue with orders from all the other high street branches around the country. Once the order has been processed, it must return to the branch that raised the order. While this may...

Fig. 61 shows the factory system implemented in production testing. The results of the initial trials show that a 150-kg Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder bath can be purified from a 0.25% Pb to 0.18% Pb in about 10 days. The cycle rate is approximately 30 kg every 2 days with a bath being turned over every 10 days (five turns). The discharge concentration was 0.8% Pb. With this system, the bath level can be maintained continuously at a level of less than 0.2% Pb [11].
