Resource summary

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
