Technical Considerations
  1. Mechanisation
    1. Human operators with machinery
      1. Replaces manual labour or animals
      2. Specialisation
        1. Experts in their field
          1. One production technique is focus
          2. Mass Production
            1. Large scale production in factories
              1. Uses production processes
                1. Standardisation of factory tooling/parts
                  1. Division of labour
                    1. Advantages of mass production
                      1. cheaper
                        1. less training
                        2. fast production
                          1. consistency of product
                            1. safety for worker
                            2. Disadvantages of mass production
                              1. boredom/low job satisfaction
                                1. RSI/OOS
                                  1. Breakdowns mean stopped production
                                    1. Expensive to set up
                                      1. Job losses
                                        1. Difficulty to change product design
                                      2. Automation
                                        1. mechanical tasks repeated with minimal human internvention
                                          1. Uses computer programs - sensors & control systems
                                            1. Improves quality of production
                                              1. tasks done quicker & efficiently
                                              2. New & Emerging Technologies
                                                1. Better materials/quality
                                                  1. Convergence of technologies
                                                    1. More efficiency than previous technogies
                                                      1. May be more environmentally friendly
                                                        1. Nano technologies
