This set of Flexible Manufacturing System Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Fundamentals of Manual Assembly Lines”.
1. Which parts are manufactured with sufficiently close tolerances that any part of certain type can be selected for assembly with its mating component?
a) Interchangeable Parts
b) Production Parts
c) Parametric Parts
d) Assembly Parts
View Answer
Explanation: The parts which are manufactured with sufficiently close tolerances that any part of certain type can be selected for assembly with its mating component is known as Interchangeable Parts.
2. Which of the principle involves moving the part to the worker rather than moving from worker to the part?
a) Part Principle
b) Tool Principle
c) Moving Principle
d) Workflow Principle
View Answer
Explanation: The principle which involves moving the part to the worker rather than moving from worker to the part is known as workflow principle. The work unit will flow through stations covering minimum distance.
3. Which methodology involves allowing the worker on the assembly line to complete task within a certain time and then pacing to the next line maintaining a specified production rate?
a) Field Pacing
b) Pulse Pacing
c) Line Spacing
d) Tool Pacing
View Answer
Explanation: The methodology which involves allowing the worker on the assembly line to complete task within a certain time and then pacing to the next line maintaining a specified production rate is known as line spacing.
4. Which of the following is a production line consisting of sequence of work stations where assembly tasks are performed by human workers?
a) Manual Assembly Line
b) Integral Assembly Line
c) Top Assembly Line
d) Bottom Assembly Line
View Answer
Explanation: The production line consisting of sequence of work stations where assembly tasks are performed by human workers is known as manual assembly line. Products will be assembled when they move along the line.
5. Which of the following is an electronic device that produces a series of electric pulses whose total number and frequency are determined and sent by the control computer?
a) Comparator
b) Pulse Generator
c) Top Tip
d) Flip Flop
View Answer
Explanation: An electronic device that produces a series of electric pulses whose total number and frequency are determined and sent by the control computer is known as pulse generator. The motors used in the positioning system will be driven by the pulses generated.
