About the unit
Through this unit,
pupils should be able to:
Food, Resistant
materials and Textiles
- design a product
that is suitable for manufacture in volume
- learn how manufacturers
generate and develop new ideas for products learn what is meant by 'one-
off' and 'high-volume' production
- find out about
the main commercial food manufacturing processes
- learn how quality
assurance systems are used during the design stage to plan safe food
production and storage
- learn how ICT
influences designing and manufacturing in industry, and how computer-controlled systems are used in industry and commerce
- explore how repetitive
quality can be assured with CAM
- learn that users
often place a different value on hand-made products and products designed
and produced in high volume.

Product evaluation
Organise a range
of activities that give pupils an opportunity to:
- formulate criteria
and use these to comment critically on the product's impact on society,
the extent to which it meets a need, its purpose and resource limits
- explore why users
place a different value on hand-made products and products made in
high volume.

Design and make
assignment
During the DMA, pupils
would be expected to:
- select information
sources, deciding which will help them with ideas for their design
- seek the opinions
of potential users of the product and others who might be affected
- consider the impact
of a solution on users when drawing up a design brief
- refine a single
idea from a range of ideas and draw up a manufacturing specification
- model different
shapes, forms and colourways in 2-D and 3-D, using ICT where appropriate
- resolve conflicting
demands when proposing design ideas
- consider whether
a product is marketable, maintainable and sustainable when generating
ideas
- use a range of
ICT applications in an integrated way to help generate ideas
- produce plans
that predict the time needed to carry out the main stages of making
- use CAD/CAM,
where appropriate
- collate, interpret
and present product information to a client
- review the extent
to which the product meets the design specification at appropriate stages
of the development
- work effectively
within a team, discussing and responding to information, working on
designing and making aspects, and reviewing product outcomes.
