Process and Product Design Flashcards
what is a process?
how to transform input into output
what are the 4 classification types?
- type of product flow
- approach to customer orders
- amount of customization
OUR FOCUS: demand volume vs product standardization
what are the 4 operations within the volume classification?
project, batch process, mass process, continuous process
what are the two operations that separate 2 operations from the other 2
intermittent operations, repetitive operations
what is the layout for intermittent processes?and what is an example?
it groups resources based on similar processes Example: warehouse or office layout
what is the layout for repetitive processes, and what is an example?
groups resources based on products. Example: in sequence like an assembly line.
what does a hybrid layout look like
cell layout: U shaped
what is group technology?
grouping of dissimilar automated machines to produce a family of parts
what is flexible manufacturing systems (FMS)
numerous programmable machine tools connected by an automated material handling system
robotics:
controlled by a computer; can perform complex tasks
CIM
integration of product design, process planning, and manufacturing through computers
what are the 4 steps of product design
- idea development
- product screening
- preliminary design and testing
- final design
what is concurrent engineering?
multifunctional team approach to simultaneously designing the product and process
what is computer aided design?
use of computer graphics to design new products
