Computer Manufacture, Assembly and Quality Control
In today's world, computer training is almost in every case a necessity if you want to get a good job. The market for computer products is a multi-billion dollar business where one can find a perfect balance of technology and efficiency. In the world we are living in, computers are used for a variety of tasks and play a crucial role in the areas of academics and business.
The steps that are taken to bring the computer from several small components to a desktop product are organization of the manufacturing facility, assembly of hardware, installation of software, and a test process. The production of a high quality product is important to computer buyers.
Computer companies have several manufacturing facilities around the world where thousands of computers are built. Manufacturers try to make the best computer (in a given price range) for the lowest cost. Once a specific model is designed the company orders the high quality parts from their own component manufacturing divisions or outside suppliers.
Inventory control is an important part of acquiring components as, to remain efficient, the company tries to avoid overstocking. Manufacturers take note of the consumer demand, on a daily basis to efficiently establish quantities for the production line.
When assembling a computer, there are 8 to 10 major components installed including the processor speed chip, the motherboard, RAM (Random Access Memory), diskette drive, modem or network card, video card, hard drive, sound card, and DVD-ROM. Before the components are placed into the computer, each part undergoes an extensive testing process called "quality control."
