Q

Computer Aided Manufacturing Techniques

A

involve the use of software that controls and directs production processes by coordinating machinery and equipment through a computer

17
Q

CAM: Efficiency

A

CAM does not require machinery to be manually reset by humans which reduces the amount of time and labour resources used in the production process -> improving productivity

18
Q

CAM: Effectiveness

A

able to coordinate tasks so they are performed with a high degree of accuracy, enabling the business to achieve a consistent level of quality -> which can increase customer satisfaction, sales and market share

19
Q

CAM: +

A

+ Improved accuracy allows for high-quality products to be consistently produced, improving the business reputation
+ Removing tasks that may be tedious or dangerous to complete -> can positively impact employee morale
+ Can speed up the manufacturing process as machinery does not have to be manually reset by humans

20
Q

CAM: -

A
  • Develop poor reputation if it implements CAM software makes employees redundant
  • Sudden breakdowns can cause production to halt altogether compromising productivity
  • High initial setup costs associated with purchasing and installing CAM
21
Q

AI

A

using computerised systems to simulate human intelligence and mimic human behaviour

22
Q

AI: Efficiency

A

AI can reduce time and labour used to complete complex tasks that would usually require human intelligence -> allowing more resources to be used more optimally and productively

23
Q

AI: Effectiveness

A

AI can perform complex tasks, such as providing timely and high-quality customer assistance -> improving customer satisfaction levels, sales and market share

24
Q
