UNIT – I
1. Define CIM.
CIM is the integration of the total manufacturing enterprising through the use of
integrated systems and data communications coupled with new managerial philosophies that
improve organisational and personal efficiency.
5. Define automation.
Automation maybe defined as the process of having machines follow a predetermined
sequence of operations with little or no human labour, using specialised equipment and devices
that perform and control manufacturing process.
24. List the activities carried out by financial department of a manufacturing industry.
1. Company services
2. Payroll
3. Accounts payable, billing and accounts receivable
4. Cost accounting
5. Financial planning and management
6. Strategic planning
25. Specify the activities carried out by marketing department is manufacturing industry.
1. Doing market research
2. Forecasting demand and sales
3. Analysing sales, tackling the performance of products and of market segments
4. Arranging sales activities and advertising campaign
5. Developing and managing marketing channels
6. Managing sales personnel, sales plans and promotions.
UNIT – II
5. List the general methods used for grouping parts into families.
Visual Inspection
Parts classification and coding system
Production flow analysis.
6. What is PFA?
Production flow analysis (PFA) is a method for identifying part families and associated
machine groupings that uses the information contained on production route sheets rather on part
drawings.
9. What is the main difference between hierarchical code and attribute code structures?
In hierarchical structure, the interpretation of each symbol in the sequence depends on the
value of preceding symbols. Whereas in attribute/polycode structure, the interpretation of each symbol
in the sequence doesnot depend on the value of preceding symbols.
10. List any six coding systems that are widely recognised in industries.
1. Optiz classification system
2. MICLASS system
3. DCLASS system
4. KK-3 System
5. CODE system
6. CUTPLAN system
12. List any four design considerations guiding the cell formation.
Parts/products to be fully completed in the cell.
Higher operator utilisation
Fewer operations than equipment
Balanced equipment utilisation in the cell.
24. List some commercial variant and generative CAPP software systems
Some of the commercial variant CAPP systems include CUTPLAN. COMCAPP V, DCLASS
and INTELLICAP.
Some of the commercial generative CAPP systems include AUTAP, CMPP, GENPLAN and
LOCAM.
UNIT – III
7. What is BOM?
The bill of materials designates what items and how many of each are used to make up a
specified final product.
8. What is SFC?
Shop Floor Control (SFC) is defined as the important manufacturing activity that will
control flow of the product and materials on the factory flow involving the quantities, types
of parts, schedule dates, priorities and the status of jobs and orders.
UNIT – IV
1. Why are company models necessary?
They are necessary because they characterise a company in different ways to analyse the
various characteristics such as complexity of their operation, the large amount of data involved, their
cyclic operation, uncertain or variable behaviour of certain parts etc.
2. What are the specific characteristics that have to be incorporated in the CIM system models?
The complexity of their operation
The large amount of data involved
Their cyclic operation
Uncertain or variate behaviour of certain behaviour
Their changing nature to accommodate new markets
Involvement of humans as part of the system
3. What three forms of modelling tool are desirable to characterise company operation?
1. As a representation of the system
2. As a dynamic model
3. As a executable model
19. List out any four benefits of implementing the PDM system?
1. Improve design productivity
2. Fewer design changes
3. Improved design and manufacturing accuracy
4. Reduced development times
UNIT - V
1. What is network architecture?
Network architecture describes the components, the function performed and the interfaces
between the components of a network.
3. Name 2 organisations that have published de facto standards relating to open systems.
1. The International Electrochemical Commission (IEC)
2. The International Organisation for Standards (ISO).
4. Define OSI.
Open systems interconnection (OSI) reference model is an international standards organization
(ISO) standard that specifies the conceptual structure of systems that are to communicate with each
other.
8. In what way the function of network layer differs from that of data link layer.
The data link layer oversees the delivery of the packet between 2 systems on the same
network. The network layer ensures that each packet gets from its point of origin to its final
destination.
11. List some of the network standards that have been developed based on the OSI reference
model.
1. MAP
2. TOP
3. TCP/IP
4. DECENT
