MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS
1. Computerization is a technology concerned with the application of mechanical, electronic, and
computer-based systems to operate and control production.
2. Fixed automation is a system in which the sequence of processing operations is variable by the
equipment configuration.
3. Operational flexibility is enhanced by the ability to execute all manufacturing tasks on
numerous product designs in big quantities and with faster delivery.
4. WIP includes inventory of raw materials at the start of the production cycle and finished
products inventory at the end of the production cycle.
5. Outsourcing is a production model in which items are created to meet demand, not created in
surplus or in advance of need.
6. Identifying the manufacturing system involved in production is vital in facilities planning and
management.
7. Dedicated machinery results in cost savings but lacks flexibility.
8. In single-stage multi-machine system, parts stay on a machine all through their operations
while tools are delivered to the machines as requested.
9. The purpose of JIT production is to avoid the waste associated with overproduction, waiting and
excess inventory.
10. The controlling focus of shop floor control functions in single-stage multi-machine system is to
meet the variable customer’s needs through flexibility and quick responsiveness.
11. On reason to keep work-in-process low is to reduce the amount of capital tied up in the
production or manufacturing process.
12. Excess production runs the risk of the business ending up with unwanted products and having
to sell them at auction or let them go to waste.
13. Retailers want to have just enough inventories to avoid stock outages, which can alienate
customers.
14. Outsourcing is on the rise as a growing number of businesses are choosing to turn over their
facilities management functions to outside contractors.
15. Value-driven trend is characterized by a renewed emphasis on maximizing usage and
practicality.
