It is helpful if pupils have:
- learnt about batch production, including how to develop a basic design that can be varied or personalised for particular clients
- used ICT to help design and make single items and small batches, when appropriate, and used spreadsheets to help them with costing and scaling up
- used manufacturing aids,
eg moulds and templates, to help with volume production
- learnt that making identical parts in a batch is cost effective and ensures accuracy
Pupils should have gained the above knowledge, skills and understanding in year 8, through unit 8B(i) 'Designing for clients', or similar projects.
