Chapter 1

Question 1

Three basic categories of materials

Answer 1

metals, ceramics, and polymers

Question 2

how does a shaping process differ from a surface processing operation

Answer 2

Shaping changes geometry (machining or forging), surface processing alters surface (painting, or plating)

Question 3

Two subclasses of assembly process? Example

Answer 3

Permanent joining: welding. Mechanical fastening: Threaded fasteners like nuts and bolts

Question 4

define batch production and why it is often used for medium-quantity production products.

Answer 4

Batch: means when materials are processed together through manufacturing operations. In a medium or low quantity situation, the same machines produce other products. When it switches, it takes time. The fact that it is produced as a batch, means that the production time is reduced

Question 5

What is the difference between a process layout and a product layout in a production facility?

Answer 5

Process layout: Machinery is arranged based on the process. Product must visit the departments where operations will be performed on it. It’s mostly for products that have a large product variety
Product layout: machinery is arranged based on the flow of the products. The travel distance is a lot less, and the flow will direct the product to where it needs to go. Works well for quantity products

Question 6

Name three departments that are typically classified as manufacturing support departments

Answer 6

manufacturing engineering, production planning, and control, quality control.
