EET Final Exam UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Continuous - CORRECT ANSWER Used to produce the highest volume of a given product.
Flow of product is rarely interrupted. Highly automated with little manual labor.
Project - CORRECT ANSWER Complex one-of-a-kind tasks such as building an oil refinery
or an office building. Has the highest proportion of manual labor.
Job Shop - CORRECT ANSWER Few parts and small production volumes. For example,
machining a nonstandard-size bearing.
Line - CORRECT ANSWER Product has many options or models. Inventory of sub-
assemblies normally present. Automotive production is an example.
Repetitive - CORRECT ANSWER Many recurring orders. Multiple-year contracts on products
are common. Production quantity generally high. Product orders are predictable and spread over long
periods. Automated processes and special purpose automation is often used. Example products are
water pumps and alternators for the transportation industry.
Material moving systems - CORRECT ANSWER A broad range of systems that transport raw
materials and finished goods through manufacturing using a variety of automation technologies,
including belt and chain conveyors and automatic guided vehicles.
Material storage and retrieval systems - CORRECT ANSWER An automated system called an
ASRS warehouses raw materials, finished parts, and completed products.
Robots - CORRECT ANSWER Industrial machines capable of being programmed and tooled
to perform many different manufacturing tasks, including welding, material handling, painting and
assembly.
Flexible manufacturing cells - CORRECT ANSWER Group of related machines that perform a
particular process or step in a larger manufacturing process. Typically consists of a CNC process
machine, some type of material handling, and possible a robot.
