this is a poster to complete my task in Planning&Controlling Production Subject
and I will tell you a little info from what I have done.
this is pure my opinion after I tried to read many articles which talk about Q&S. but I warned you that I am not going to explain everything, I like to tell you simply and I hope you could understand what I said, and fix something if it isn't good :)
initially I have to tell you about Planning&Controlling Production.
in company when we produce something, we have to planned it first. it purpose is to have the work under control, not having too much production or less. that is the red line of the subject.
the poster is discussing about collaborative manufacturing. in general why collaborative manufacturing does exist? because not all companies could finish their product by itself. sometimes we need to collaborate with the other companies.
and I take Quirky and Shapeways for the article.
Quirky
is the company who concern in daily life activities. they produce ideas to make inventions that could bring daily activities in easier way
Shapeways
is a 3D printing company, work with modern machine and automation
Q & S
they collaboration is when Quirky make a new inventions and Shapeways do the 3D printing. Quirky have a good taste of making design, and Shapeways could finished a complex shape
and as far as I know when they planned to produce a product it could be passing five steps, such as:
1. Dealing, Quirky and Shpaeways make an agreement about something they gonna do.
2. Discussion, is a phase that Quirky explained Shapeways all the properties could need from the product
3. Simulation, design was made from 3D software or CAD so it must pass the simulation to know any information of product such as what material could use for it, where's the fatigue point after use for many times, etc.
4. Production Time, it's time for Shapeways, let God do the rest
5. Marketing, is how the products coming to your life
ya, its all I have to you about Quirky and Shapeways, it's just my opinion.
and all the content in this post, I made it my self after I read the article from internet. tee-hee
