Save your actual school result to count your credits.
You need to take a real product or part and redesign a manufacturing process to make it greener, then actually build it following your plan. This means thinking through how to reduce energy and waste, setting up quality checks, running the production, and explaining how well your green approach worked.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Explain how green thinking (cutting energy, reducing waste) changes your design decisions for the product and how to make it
- ·Analyse whether the existing product can realistically be made using green manufacturing methods
- ·Write clear specifications and tolerances for what you're going to produce
- ·Choose a green manufacturing process and plan quality control steps to keep products meeting your specs
- ·Carry out the manufacturing safely and accurately, then evaluate how well your process actually achieved the green goals
You undertake development and implementation of a green manufacturing process by explaining green considerations, analysing the product's suitability, establishing specifications, selecting a green process with quality control, and organising production accurately.
