The Efficiency of Turning Centers in Mass Production Turning centers as a machining operation are machines that are most efficient for mass production of machined parts Automated processes eliminate labor and enable manufacturers to deliver large volume production of components in a short time An additional advantage is that since turning centers are programmed, they require a small amount of rest There are also instances in which they don’t require rest which enhances productivity This level of efficiency is critical in lines of business such as the automobile making industry, whereby large amounts of output is needed to satisfy demands In other words, it allows the manufacturers to employ just in time production systems without compromising quality.
