8. State the objectives of implementation of CIM. M/J 16
i) Make the total process more process more productive and efficient.
ii) Increase product reliability.
iii) Decrease the cost of production.
9. Mention the reasons for implementing CAD? A/M 15
i) To meet competitive pressures
ii) To coordinate and organize data
iii) To eliminate paper and the costs associated with its use.
iv) To automate communication within a factory and increase the speed.
v) To facilitate simultaneous engineering.
10. Define computer integrated manufacturing. M/J 14
CIM is an attempt to combine existing computer technologies in order to
manage and control the entire business.
11. Illustrate the components of an automated system with sketch. N/D
16; A/M 17
12. What are the factors that lead to the evolution of CIM? A/M 17
The following factors have led to the development of the CIM concept and
associated technologies:
i) Development of NC, CNC, DNC.
ii) The advent and cost-effectiveness of computers.
iii) Manufacturing challenges, such as
Global competition
High labor cost
Demand for quality products
UNIT-II PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL &
COMPUTERISED PROCESS PLANNING
16. What are the objectives of FDC system? [A.U.., Nov/Dec 2014]
i) To supply status and performance data to the shop floor control system.
ii) To provide up-to-date information to the production supervisors and
production control personnel.
iii) To enable the management to monitor implementation of master
schedule.
17. Differentiate process planning and production planning.[A.U., Nov/Dec
2016]
Process planning: consists of preparing set of instructions that describe
how to manufacture the products and its parts.
Production planning: it may be defined as the determination, acquisition and
arrangement of all facilities necessary for future production of products.
18. Differentiate MRP I and MRP II. [A.U., Nov/Dec 2016]
MRP I: Material requirement planning is the computational technique that
converts the master production schedule for final products in to detailed
schedule for the raw materials and parts used in the final products.
MRP II: manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) is a computer-based
system for planning, scheduling, and controlling the materials, resources,
and supporting activities needed to meet the master production schedule
(MPS).
19. Comment on the output of aggregate production planning. [A.U.,
Apr/May 2017].
It is also know aggregate output planning or aggregate planning, is
concerned with determining the quantity and timing of production for
the intermediate future (often 3months to one year) ahead, settings.
Employment, inventory, and subcontracting.
20. List the basic steps in developing a process plan. [A.U., Apr/May
2017] Step 1: drawing interpretation
Step 2: material evolution and process selection
Step 3: selection of machines, tooling and work holding devices
Step 4: setting process parameters
Step 5: selection of quality assurance methods
Step 6: cost estimating
Step 7: preparing the process planning documentation
Step 8: communicating the manufacturing knowledge to the shop floor.
