Answer: It is developed as an alternative to subtractive processes. These
methods are unique in that they add and bond materials in layers to form
objects&alsoforproducingcomplexpartgeometries.

11) Whatisproductionplanningandproductioncontrol?
Answer: Production planning is a preproduction activity. It is the pre
determination of manufacturing requirements such as manpower, materials,
machines,andmanufacturingprocess.
Production control, through control mechanism, tries to take corrective action
totakecorrectiveactiontomatchtheplannedandactualproduction.

12) Whatisgrouptechnology(GT)?
Answer: Group technology (GT) is a manufacturing philosophy to increase
productionefficiencybygroupingavarietyofpartshavingsimilaritiesofshape,
