About the unit
Through this unit,
pupils should be able to:
Food, Resistant
materials and Textiles
- learn how everyday
products are manufactured in volume
- find out about
the main commercial food manufacturing processes
- learn how quality
assurance systems are used to ensure quality products
- use an increasing
range of hand-tools and machine-tools, including mixers
- use CNC equipment
to support making and to control production, where appropriate
- adapt their methods
of designing and making to changing circumstances.

Product evaluation
Organise a range
of activities that give pupils an opportunity to:
- find out how everyday
products are made and how identical products are achieved in spite of
complex production processes
- understand how
some processes used in school are the same as those used in industry
- find out how
ICT influences manufacturing in industry and how computer-controlled
systems are used in industry and commerce.

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
- draw up a detailed
design specification that specifies criteria to take into account, including
aesthetics, function, reliability, maintenance, quality, and health
and safety implications
- write full technical
reports (including the import of data exchange files (DXFs) )
- produce plans
that specifiy the exact details to make a product in volume work within
the constraints, considering and reflecting on the design criteria as
closely as possible
- prioritise and
reconcile decisions on materials, time and production
- adapt methods
of working to changing circumstances
- use competently
hand-tools, mixers and computers, if appropriate or use competently
hand-tools, power-tools and CNC equipment, if appropriate
- take action to
control identified hazards to themselves and others
- review the extent
to which their product meets the design specification at appropriate
stages of the development.
