Heaven's Light is Our Guide f Engineering & Technology, Bangladesh & Production Engineering n Semester Examination, 2017 Rajshahi University 0 Department of Industrial B.Sc. Engineering 4th Year Evel Course No.: IPE 4231(e) Course Title: Computer Integrated Manufacturing Full Marks: 72 ‘Time: Three Hours Nips i) Answer SIX questions taking any THREE from each section ii) Figures in the margin indicate full marks. iii) Use separate answer script for each section. iv) Necessary charts may be supplied. SECTION - A eo How does Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) differ from Computer Aided 04 Manufacturing (CAM)? Discuss the typical automation migration strategies. (6) Whats the relationship between product variety and production quantity? How do 04 they affect facilities and layouts? (©) How does affect availability on plant capacity? The mean time between failures 04 for a certain production machine is 250 hours and the mean time to repair is 6 hours. Determine the availability of the machine. Q.2(a) Distinguish between consumer goods and capital goods. 02 05 (6) What is meant by the term technological processing capability? Describe the three basic industry categories. (©) Define cycle time and manufacturing lead time in manufacturing operations. How 05 can plant capacity be increased or decreased in the intermediate or long term? (a) What is utilization in a manufacturing plant? Identify production plants by number 04 of parts (for assembled products) and number of operations (for manufactured parts). (6) The hourly rate for a certain work center is to be determined based on the 04 following data: direct labor rate = $ 15.00/hr; applicable factory overhead rate on labor = 35%; capital investment in machine = $ 200,000; service life of the machine = 5 years; rate of return = 15%; salvage value in 5 years = zero; and the applicable factory overhead rate on the machine = 40%. The work center will be operated two 8-hour shifts, 250 days per year. (i) Determine appropriate hourly rate for the work center. (ii) If the workload for the cell can only justify a one shift operation, determine the appropriate hourly rate for the work center. (c) Describe the safety monitoring in an automated system. 04 Please Turn Over Page 1 of 2Q4(a) ) © Q5(a) [O} © @ 97a) o) © Q.8(a) (b) © What are the two basic requirements that must be managed by a computer controller to achieve real-time control? What is feed forward control? With neat sketch briefly explain the adaptive control. Consider an automated cell consisting of a CNC machine tool, a parts storage unit, and a robot for loading and unloading the parts between the machine and the storage unit, Possible errors that might affect this system can be divided into the following categories: (i) machine and process, (ii) cutting tools, (iii) work holding fixture, (iv) part storage unit, and (v) load/unload robot. Develop a list of possible errors (deviations and malfunctions) that might be included in each of these five categories. SECTION - B What is the work volume of a robot manipulator? Explain the common body-and-arm configurations in commercial industrial robots. Write a VAL II program for a robot to palletize a rectangular part that is 250X150 mm. It has to arrange the part in 3 uniform rows of 4 parts each. The pallet size is 1X0.65 m. The minimum clearance between the parts and edges should be at least 50 mm. What are Parts classification and coding system? Write the dissimilarities between a hierarchical structure and a chain-type structure in a classification and coding scheme. What is cellular manufacturing? How does it differ from traditional manufacturing? Apply the rank-order clustering technique to the part-machine matrix in the following table to identify logical part families and mac identified by letters and machines are identified numerically. Parts Machines | A | B Cc D E 1 I ala} ofr 1 What is Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)? How do you measure flexibility? Discuss the material handling system in FMS environment. Distinguish between a dedicated FMS and random-order FMS. What is Process planning? Discuss the scope of Process Planning. Describe the working procedure of Retrival CAPP system. Write short note on Concurrent Engineering. Good Luck Page 2 of 2 02 05 05 06 03 03 03 03 0s 0s 02 fee
