    This document contains a participant list and question for an information systems course. The participant list includes 10 students identified by name and registration number. The question defines four terms: robotics, computer aided manufacture, just-in-time, and material requirement planning. Definitions provided describe robotics as programmable devices that perform tasks, computer aided manufacture as using computers to enhance product development, just-in-time as producing goods as needed to eliminate waste, and material requirement planning as a production planning system.

    QUESTION

    Define the following terms; Robotics, Computer Aided Manufacture(CAM), Just-In-


    Time, Material Requirement Planning(MRP).
    Robotics

    Robotics is derived from the Czech word robota meaning “compulsory labour”

    Its a self governing programmable electronically device used in industry and in


    scientific research to perform a task.

    Robotics refers to the design and use of robots. It is the science and technology related
    to computer controlled mechanical devices such as automated tools commonly found
    in automobile assembly lines.

    This is used in increasing quality of the products and consistency of work where
    they perform more quickly, cheaply and accurately than human in conducting set
    routines.

    Computer Aided Design(CAM)

    The process by which computers are employed to enhance the manufacturers


    and development of products more quickly, accurately, and with reduced cost by the
    appropriate application of computer technology ;where as it provides greater
    manufacturing flexibility as they allow companies to respond quickly to market
    demands and new product development.

    Just- In -Time (JIN)

    Its the manufacturing system which deal with the manufacturing and stock control
    system in which goods are produced and delivered as they are required ;Its designed
    to eliminate waste and avoid the need for large stocks.

    Material requirement planning (MRP)

    Its a software based production, planning and inventory control system used to
    manage manufacturing process; its not common now days because its functions can be
    conducted by hands as well.

    Its designed to attain three main objectives such as material and products are
    available for production and delivery to customers, maintain lowest possible level of
    inventory and planning manufacturing activities, delivery schedules and purchasing
    activities.
