Mos 3330 Final exam questions with
answers
what is a process? - ANSWER>>how to transform input into output
Classification by what - ANSWER>>- Type of product flow
- Approach to customer orders
- Amount of customization
- Focus
Types of Product Flow - ANSWER>>fixed position, jumbled flow, line flow, continuous flow
what are the different approaches to customer orders? - ANSWER>>Make to order, make to
stock, assemble to order
Our focus includes? - ANSWER>>demand volume vs product standardization (product variety;
the level of customization
fixed position - ANSWER>>product cannot be moved during production (bridge, airplane, ship,
building)
jumbled flow - ANSWER>>low volume, several products, (maybe custom)
General equipment: (commercial printing, wedding cake)
Line and continuous flow - ANSWER>>High volume, standardized, products, specialized
equipment
high product volume, high product standardization - ANSWER>>Mass process, continuous
process
- both are repetitive operations
low product volume, low product standardization - ANSWER>>Batch process, project
- both are intermittent operations
,project - ANSWER>>one at a time product exactly to customer satisfaction
batch - ANSWER>>small quantity of products in batches based on actual or expected customer
orders
Mass - ANSWER>>Large volume of standardized product, assembly line format
Continuous - ANSWER>>Continually produce a high volume of a fully standardized product
intermitten operations - ANSWER>>- products have different needs
- low volume
- many different products
- skilled workers
- low lv of automating
repetitive operations - ANSWER>>- products have same needs
- workers and equipment are lineup as needed (product layout)
- Few products
- unskilled workers
- high level of automating
intermittent chart - ANSWER>>product variety: great
Approach to customer orders: Make to order
product flow: Jumbled
type of equipment: general purpose
degree of automation: low
critical resources: labour
throughput time: longer
WIP inventory: more
repetitive operations chart - ANSWER>>product variety: small
Approach to customer orders: make to stock
product flow: line
type of equipment: specialized
degree of automation: high
critical resources: Capital
throughput time: shorter
, WIP inventory: less
what is the process layout for intermittent operations? - ANSWER>>- process layout: Groups
resources based on similar processes
- warehouse layout, office layout
what is the product layout for repetitive operations - ANSWER>>- product layout: groups
resources based on product
- Arranges resources in sequence (assembly lines)
what is a hybrid between process and product layout? - ANSWER>>Cell layout: grouping of
products based on similar requirements (processes)
When is fixed position layout used? - ANSWER>>When the production is low and the product is
large- like airplanes
Retail Layout - ANSWER>>allocates space based on customer behaviour
repetitive operations include: - ANSWER>>FMS, Focused automation, dedicated automation
intermittent operations include - ANSWER>>General purpose, group technology
what is group technology? - ANSWER>>grouping of dissimilar automated machines to produce
a family of parts
What is flexible manufacturing system (FMS) - ANSWER>>Consists of numerous programmable
machine tools connected by an automated material handling system
what are robotics? - ANSWER>>Controlled by a computer: can perform complex tasks
computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) - ANSWER>>Controlling manufacturing through
computers
computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) - ANSWER>>Integration of product design, process
planning, and manufacturing through computers
Process Selection - ANSWER>>- Cost, volume, product maturity level, labour/technology
available
