This set of Flexible Manufacturing System Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “FMS Installation and Implementation”.
1. Which is the transition phase to decrease reliance on supplier and vendor personnel and to increase reliance on in house personnel and expertise?
a) FMS Segregation
b) FMS Implementation
c) FMS Documentation
d) FMS Verification
View Answer
Explanation: The Transition phase to decrease reliance on supplier and vendor personnel and to increase reliance on in house personnel and expertise is FMS Implementation. The FMS Equipments will be given warranty and set to perform the customized function.
2. Which is done to make sure that the entire system and its processing modules run and perform to expected performance and specification levels as a complete operational cycle?
a) Acceptance Testing
b) Equipment Testing
c) Rejection Testing
d) Flow Testing
View Answer
Explanation: Acceptance Testing is done to make sure that the entire system and its processing modules run and perform to expected performance and specification levels as a complete operational cycle. A Bigger Manufacturing cell requires longer uninterrupted acceptance test.
3. Productivity, Equipment accuracy, Processing equipment downtime, Material handling performance reliability, part quality, incoming and outgoing system work flow are not usually checked and verified during acceptance testing?
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Productivity, Equipment accuracy, Processing equipment downtime, Material handling performance reliability, part quality, incoming and outgoing system work flow are the necessary items to be checked and verified during acceptance testing.
4. Which phase of FMS installation involves site excavation, central coolant, chip removal and recovery system installation?
a) Phase 4
b) Phase 2
c) Phase 3
d) Phase 1
View Answer
Explanation: Phase 1 of FMS installation involves site excavation, central coolant, chip removal and recovery system installation. Chip compactor can also be installed if required by the system in this phase.
5. Which should be developed and agreed between the parties whose equipment is to be integrated for the integration of primary and secondary equipment in the FMS?
a) Primary Specification
b) Equipment Specification
c) Interface Specification
d) FMS Specification
View Answer
Explanation: Interface Specification has to be developed and agreed between the parties whose equipment is to be integrated for the integration of primary and secondary equipment in the Flexible Manufacturing System.
6. Which is a major document against which the host system can be measured for acceptance from the host supplier’s customer?
a) Flexible Specification
b) Host Function Design Specification
c) Signal Specification
d) Customer Specification
View Answer
Explanation: Host Function Design Specification is a major document against which the host system can be measured for acceptance from the host supplier’s customer. It explains the functions that must be achieved by the host.
7. What is meant by FDS?
a) Function Design Specification
b) Flexible Diagnosis Specification
c) Fault Detection System
d) Flexible Diagnosis System
View Answer
Explanation: FDS means Function Design Specification. FDS must describe the every standard function and any FMS site specific software functions that the host will execute. It must also describe necessary hardware’s required to install an FMS.
8. Which FMS installation involves the installation of host and AGV control system?
a) Phase 2
b) Phase 4
c) Phase 1
d) Phase 3
View Answer
Explanation: The FMS Host and AGV control Systems are installed in the phase 3 of FMS installation. Operating and application software are also installed in this phase. Computer system testing and debugging is enabled by the installation of FMS Computer and software.
9. The purchaser would be installing perimeter guarding, eye wash stations, fire extinguishing and other safety equipments in phase 4 of FMS installation.
a) False
b) True
View Answer
Explanation: Phase 4 of FMS installation involves installing of perimeter guarding, eye washing stations, fire extinguishing and other safety equipments. These are installed along with painting guide path markings on the factory floor.
10. Which phase of FMS installation involves the setting of AGV lines into the floor from the floor making templates?
a) Phase 1
b) Phase 3
c) Phase 2
d) Phase 4
View Answer
Explanation: Automated Guided Vehicle’s floor lines are cut into the floor from the floor making templates in the phase 2 of FMS installation. Guide path wires are also embedded into the floor cuts and sealed with epoxy resins.
