| Question | Answer |
| What is advanced manufacturing technology (AMT)? | Describes the significant impact of computers on manufacturing. Now involved at every stage for fast and efficient production |
| What 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 |
| What is concurrent manufacturing? | All key people at each stage working together concurrently Reducing design changes Multi-disciplinary team |
| What is quality function deployment? | Incorporates customer satisfaction into customer development "House of Quality" matrix translates customer requirements into targets/spec points |
| What 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 |
| What 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 |
| What are product data management systems (PDM)? | System managing data from design to manufacture, instantly available Electronic sign-off Notify when next stage is ready |
| What 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 |
| What is lean manufacturing? | There is no 'fat' - no unnecessary waste JIT - materials arrive when NEEDED Value - Value stream - Flow - Pull - Perfection |
| What 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 |
| What is Kaizen? | Continuous improvement Small changes for small improvement and low cost On a regular basis |
| What are flexible manufacturing cells? | Group of workstations, machines or equipment Product processed progressively from one station to another - no waiting Can be fully automated |
| What 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 |
| What 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 |
| What 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 |
| What 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 |
| What 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 |
