Unit vs. Assembly Production







We had another visitor this week! Ms. Younan, our Junior Achievement representative, popped in this afternoon to teach us about Unit vs. Assembly Production. In order to experience the difference, the children worked in two separate teams to make paper donuts! One team worked using Unit Assembly (one person made the entire donut) while the other team worked as a team (each took steps to prepare the donut. One mixed, one shaped, one frosted.) We found that the best quality came from Unit Assembly, while the most donuts came as a result of the Assembly production! (Assembly had the most defective donuts, however!) The children really enjoyed this lesson!
