GCSE (Years 10–11) · Design & technology
Scales of production
Pupils study scales of production from one‑off and batch to mass and continuous production, learning about methods including jigs, templates, CNC and assembly lines, plus implications for cost, quality, lead time and sustainability; they evaluate which scale suits a product and how manufacturing choice affects design.
