This free unit covers a range of modern industrial and commercial practices in an engaging and inspiring way. Starting with the familiar scales of production, it builds in depth by introducing new techniques and methods seen in modern manufacturing. It moves on to look at the need for efficiency in manufacturing and how systems can implement positive change and waste reduction. The use of computer systems in both designing and manufacturing is analysed for efficient workflow, digital design and modern manufacture.

“”I'm almost tempted to buy your [A Level] resources but we don't have a 6th form! They look good!
Kieren Reynolds. CAS Master teacher and teacher, Henry Beaufort School
“”We recently used some of the free resources in the sections we aim to purchase from you with our pupils and the feedback was very positive indeed. The information was pitched perfectly to our pupils, they enjoyed the content and the pace at which it can be delivered was spot on.
