Question Bank-Advanced Production

1. Group Technology involves classifying parts into groups based on their production requirements and arranging machines into cells based on the part flow. The Production Flow Analysis method analyzes part routings to determine machine cells. Benefits include reduced setup times and material handling. 2. The Opitz classification system groups parts and machines. A from-to chart shows part flow between 4 machines. The most logical machine sequence is determined from the ratios and a flow diagram is constructed. 3. Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) are automated systems using CNC machines linked by automated material handling devices under computer control. Benefits include reduced lead times and production of low volume parts economically. Layout configurations include
