Chapter 1:
1. What is manufacturing?
2. What is the difference between a processing operation and an assembly operation?
3. Please list the types of layout in factory

Chapter 2:
1. What is the cycle time in a manufacturing operation?

2. What is production capacity?

3. How can plant capacity be increased or decreased?

4. What is manufacturing lead time?

5. What is work-in-process?

6. How are fixed costs distinguished from variable costs in manufacturing?

7. Why should factory overhead expenses be separated from corporate overhead expenses?

8. In a batch machining operation, setup time is 1.5 hr and batch size is 80 units. The cycle time
consists of part handling time of 30 sec and processing time of 1.37 min. One part is
produced each cycle. Tool changes must be performed every 10 parts and this takes 2.0 min.
Determine (a) average cycle time, (b) time to complete the batch, and (c) average production
rate.

9. A flow-line mass production operation consists of eight manual workstations. Work units are
moved synchronously and automatically between stations, with a transfer time of 15 sec. The
manual processing operations performed at the eight stations take 40 sec, 52 sec, 43 sec, 48
sec, 30 sec, 57 sec, 53 sec, and 49 sec, respectively. Determine (a) cycle time for the line, (b)
time to process one work unit through the eight workstations, (c) average production rate,
and (d) time to produce 10,000 units.
10. The table below shows production data for five batches of parts processed through a batch
production plant. Setup times (Tsu) are given in hours. Operation cycle times (Tc) are given
in min per cycle. Utilization fractions (f) are the fractions of time during the 40-hr week that
the machine is devoted to the production of these parts. The parts do not proceed through the
machines in the same order. Determine (a) weekly production rate, (b) work- load, and (c)
average utilization of this set of equipment. A spreadsheet calculator is recommended for
 this problem.

11. Theoretically, any given production plant has an optimum output level. Suppose a certain
production plant has annual fixed costs = $2,000,000. Variable cost is functionally related to
annual output Q in a manner that can be described by the function Cv = $12 + $0.005Q. Total
annual cost is given by TC = Cf + CvQ. The unit sales price for one production unit P = $250.
(a) Determine the value of Q that minimizes unit cost UC, where UC = TC/Q; and compute
the annual profit earned by the plant at this quantity. (b) Determine the value of Q that
maximizes the annual profit earned by the plant; and compute the annual profit earned by the
plant at this quantity.
12. Costs have been compiled for a certain manufacturing company for the most recent year.
The summary is shown in the table below. The company operates two different manufactur-
ing plants, plus a corporate headquarters. Determine (a) the factory overhead rate for each
plant, and (b) the corporate overhead rate. The firm will use these rates in the following year

Chapter 4_1:

1. What is a sensor?
2. What is an actuator?
3. What are the two important disadvantages of DC electric motors that make the AC motor
relatively attractive?
4. What are three mechanical ways to convert a rotary motion into a linear motion?
5. What is the difference between a hydraulic actuator and a pneumatic actuator?

6. The step angle of a stepper motor = 1.8°. The motor shaft is to rotate through 15 complete
revolutions at an angular velocity of 7.5 rad/sec. Determine (a) the required number of pulses
and (b) the pulse frequency to achieve the specified rotation. (c) How much time is required to
complete the 15 revolutions?

7. The shaft of a stepper motor is directly connected to a leadscrew that drives a worktable in an x–
y positioning system. The motor has a step angle = 5°. The pitch of the leadscrew is 6 mm,
which means that the worktable moves in the direction of the leadscrew axis by a distance of 6
mm for each complete revolution of the screw. It is desired to move the worktable a distance of
275 mm at a top speed of 20 mm/sec. Determine (a) the number of pulses and (b) the pulse
 frequency required to achieve this movement. (c) How much time is required to move the table
the desired distance at the desired speed, assuming there are no delays due to inertia?

Chapter 4_2:

1. What is numerical control?

2. What are the three basic components of an NC system?
3. What is the difference between absolute positioning and incremental positioning?
4. What are three disadvantages of implementing NC technology?
5. The two axes of an x–y positioning table are each driven by stepper motors con- nected to ball
screws with a 4:1 gear reduction (four turns of the motor for each turn of the ball screw). The
number of step angles on each stepper motor is 100. Each screw has a pitch = 7.5 mm and
provides an axis range = 600.0 mm. There are 16 bits in each binary register used by the
controller to store position data for the two axes. (a) What is the con- trol resolution of each
axis? (b) What are the required rotational speeds of each stepper motor and corresponding pulse
frequencies to drive the table at 800 mm/min in a straight line from point (20, 20) to point (350,
450)?

6. A DC servomotor drives the x-axis of a CNC milling machine table. The motor is cou- pled to a
ball screw, whose pitch = 7.5 mm, using a gear reduction of 8:1 (eight turns of the motor to one
turn of the ball screw). An optical encoder is connected to the ball screw. The optical encoder
emits 75 pulses per revolution. To execute a certain pro- grammed instruction, the table must
move from point (x = 202.5 mm, y = 35.0 mm) to point (x = 25.0 mm, y = 250.0 mm) in a
straight line path at a feed rate = 300 mm/min. For the x-axis, determine (a) the control
resolution of the system, (b) rotational speed of the motor, and (c) frequency of the pulse train
emitted by the optical encoder at the desired feed rate. (d) How many pulses are emitted by the
x-axis encoder during the move?

Chapter 5:
1. Name the five major categories of material handling equipment.

2. A planned manufacturing system will have the layout pictured in Figure P10.4 and will use an
automated guided vehicle system to move parts between stations in the layout. All work parts
are loaded into the system at station 1, moved to one of three processing stations (2, 3, or 4), and
then brought back to station 1 for unloading. Once loaded onto its AGV, each work part stays
onboard the vehicle throughout its time in the manufacturing system. Load and unload times at
station 1 are each 0.5 min. Processing times at the processing stations are 6.5min at station 2, 8.0
min at station 3, and 9.5 min at station 4.Vehiclespeed = 50m/min. Assume that the traffic factor
= 1.0 and vehicle availability = 100%. (a) Construct the from-to chart for distances. (b)
Determine the maximum hourly production rate for each of the three processing stations,
assuming that 15 sec will be lost between successive vehicles at each station; this is the time for
the vehicle presently at the station to move out and the next vehicle to move into the station for
processing. (c) Find the total number of AGVs that will be needed to achieve these production
rates.
 3. Three forklift trucks are used to deliver pallet loads of parts between work cells in a fac- tory.
Average travel distance loaded is 350 ft and the travel distance empty is estimated to be the
same. The trucks are driven at an average speed of 3 miles/hr when loaded and 4 miles/hr when
empty. Terminal time per delivery averages 1.0 min (load = 0.5 min and unload = 0.5 min ). If
the traffic factor is assumed to be 0.90, availability = 100%, and worker efficiency = 0.95, what
is the maximum hourly delivery rate of the three trucks?

Chapter 6:

2. A unit load AS/RS is being designed to store 1,000 pallet loads in a distribution center
located next to the factory. Pallet dimensions are: x = 1,000 mm, y = 1,200 mm; and the
maximum height of a unit load = 1,300 mm. The following is specified: (1) the AS/RS will
consist of two aisles with one S/R machine per aisle, (2) length of the structure should be
approximately five times its height, and (3) the rack structure will be built 500 mm above
floor level. Using the allowances a = 150 mm, b = 200 mm, and c = 250 mm, determine the
width, length, and height of the AS/RS rack structure.
