Cards in this deck (17)
- 1What is advanced manufacturing technology (AMT)?Describes the significant impact of computers on manufacturing.
Now involved at every stage for fast and efficient production - 2What is quick response manufacturing (QRM)?Responding to what is needed
Movement from batch to 'flow' production
Involves JIT, TQM and manufacturing cells
A pull process - 3What is concurrent manufacturing?All key people at each stage working together concurrently
Reducing design changes
Multi-disciplinary team - 4What is quality function deployment?Incorporates customer satisfaction into customer development
"House of Quality" matrix translates customer requirements into targets/spec points - 5What are flexible manufacturing systems (FMS)?Several machines linked together by a materials handling system
Machine Flexibility = changed to produce new product types
Routing Flexibility = several machines performing same operation at same time on a part - 6What is computer-integrated manufacture (CIM)?Bringing all aspects of company operation together, not just those involved in manufacture
Computer networks integrate production & business info with manufacturing info - 7What are product data management systems (PDM)?System managing data from design to manufacture, instantly available
Electronic sign-off
Notify when next stage is ready - 8What are enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems?Combines all software and data from departments into one system for all
Takes customer order and provides a software 'road map'
Automatically sent between departments - 9What is lean manufacturing?There is no 'fat' - no unnecessary waste
JIT - materials arrive when NEEDED
Value - Value stream - Flow - Pull - Perfection - 10What is Kanban?Orders pulled through the product system
Cards or containers visually indicate when to pull materials, components or products
Production Kanban + Transportation Kanban integrated - 11What is Kaizen?Continuous improvement
Small changes for small improvement and low cost
On a regular basis - 12What are flexible manufacturing cells?Group of workstations, machines or equipment
Product processed progressively from one station to another - no waiting
Can be fully automated - 13What are the types of manufacturing cells?FUNCTIONAL CELLS = specific function
GROUP TECHNOLOGY = different product lines with similar manufacturing operations
PRODUCT FOCUSED CELLS = manufacture one type of product, series of operations - 14What machines allow computer-aided quality control (CAQ) and what do they do?COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE (CMM) = measuring probe determines points on the surface to measure size and position
LASER SCANNING TECHNOLOGY = thousands of points taken that can check size / position and create 3D image of part - 15What is an automated materials-handling system?A device which takes materials from one place to another
Materials, components and assemblies delivered with little manual intervention - 16What are automatic storage and retrieval systems (ASRS)?Automated robotic system for sorting, storing and retrieving items
Stored in racking systems
Selects correct component, retrieve it and place on conveyor or AGV - 17What are automated guided vehicles (AGV)?Materials-handling device to move parts
Small and independently powered
Radio frequency wires buried in floor, receive instructions from central computer
