Multiple choice

"Operators simply load new programs, as necessary, to produce different products" describes

  1. automated guided vehicles

  2. flexible manufacturing systems

  3. vision systems

  4. process control

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

FMS allows operators to load different part programs to produce various products on the same line. This program-changing capability is the core advantage of flexible manufacturing. AGVs move materials, vision systems inspect quality, and process control monitors parameters.

Multiple choice

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) includes manufacturing systems that have

  1. computer-aided design, a flexible manufacturing system, inventory control, warehousing and shipping integrated

  2. transaction processing, management information systems and decision support systems integrated

  3. automated guided vehicles, robots and process control

  4. robots, automated guided vehicles and transfer equipment

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

CIM integrates computer-aided design with manufacturing systems like FMS, plus inventory control, warehousing and shipping. This creates a seamless digital thread from design to delivery. Option B describes MIS software, C and D list only hardware components without the integration aspect.
