A single type of production is characterized by single-piece production of products, frequency of issue of homogeneous products is irregular or completely absent. Therefore, an individual (single) method of organizing production involves manufacturing of products or parts in small batches or individual recurring patterns. Individual (unit) is characterized by the method of organizing production: a wide variety of manufactured products; dominance of technological specialization of jobs and lack of a permanent fix for their particular detaleoperatsy. In order to limit the diversity of work in the unit production of individual workplaces perpetuate a certain kind of work. Such technological specialization of workers can improve their productivity; large proportion of non-standard, original parts and assemblies.
The ability to use a standardized design and technological solutions are limited due to the instability of the diverse nature and range of products; development of the integrated processes. To regulate the process are used road maps that identify only the name of the operation of equipment and consolidated rules time. Detailing technological operations carried out directly on the shop floor foremen and workers; use of universal equipment and devices, allowing to handle a wide range of parts due to frequently changing product range. It is widely used universal modular device (CID), which are collected from normalized elements, and then use are subdivided into elementary parts; relatively large proportion of manual, assembly and finishing operations; dominance workers skilled generalists. This requires a wide variety of works, which have to perform to the workers. They should have a wide range of diverse skills; decentralization of operational management of production; works on a universal welding equipment without special equipment, a large proportion of manual work in including finishing, significantly lengthen the production cycle.
The high qualification of workers, higher costs of materials and labor rise to high production costs. Unit type production is characteristic of heavy enterprises, transport and power engineering, shipbuilding, pilot production, etc. With the acceleration of technological progress of a single type of share of production increases. His perfection is through the use of modern equipment bystroperenalazhivaemogo – CNC machine tools that can perform various operations. An important task of the unit of production is typed using production processes, as well as increased use of standard, uniform and even standard parts and components in the preparation of new products.
