What is an advantage of an automated flexible manufacturing system?.
(FMS13_DesignForManuf) One of the advantages of an automated FMS is that you can design a particular part to be manufactured on one machine instead of several different machines. This will assist with reducing lead times because several operations are now reduced to one and the quality can be performed during the process, with the aid of computers, instead of after. 14. Briefly discuss the importance of Tool Management? (FMS14_DesignForManuf) Tool Management is an essential part of a fully automated system because it is vital that the system run smoothly, therefore tools are replaced in a timely manner ensuring there isn’t a shutdown in the system which can cause a lot of downtime thus leading to waste in money and time. 15. List a few of the advantages of Manufacturing Simulation? (FMS15_DynSched1_Simul1) Some of the advantages of manufacturing simulation are optimizing material handling systems, analyze FMS designs, make decisions based on results obtained from analysis, and to hypot
