Question 1

Which of the following typically shows the hierarchy of components, their description, and the quantity of each required to make one unit of a product?

Accepted Answer

A bill of material typically shows the hierarchy of components, their description, and the quantity of each required to make one unit of a product. Engineering drawings show the dimensions and specifications of components, assembly drawings show how the components fit together, assembly charts show the order of assembly steps, and route sheets show the sequence of operations involved in making a product.

Question 2

A process sheet is a type of:

Accepted Answer

A process sheet is a type of route sheet that contains detailed information about the operations and processes required to manufacture a product. It includes information on machine setups, tools needed, and the sequence of operations to be performed. It is used by shop floor workers as a guide to follow during the manufacturing process. Assembly drawings are used to show how individual parts fit together to create an assembly, while assembly charts show the relationship between different subassemblies. Work orders are used to initiate and track production, while bills of materials list the components needed to manufacture a product.

Question 3

All Boeing 777s are built exactly alike.

Accepted Answer

Although all Boeing 777s share the same basic design, they can be customized by the airline customer with different seating arrangements, interior finishes, and optional equipment. Additionally, upgrades and modifications may be made to individual planes over time.

Question 4

A restaurant kitchen contains a wall poster that shows, for each sandwich on the menu, a sketch of the ingredients and how they are arranged to make the sandwich. This is an example of a(n):

Accepted Answer

An assembly drawing shows how parts are assembled together to make a final product. In this case, the poster shows how the ingredients are assembled to create a final sandwich product. The other options (route sheet, bill of material, work order, and assembly chart) do not accurately describe the visual representation of the sandwich ingredients.

Question 5

An assembly chart:

Accepted Answer

An assembly chart graphically represents how the product is assembled, showing the sequence and relationship of parts and subassemblies.

Question 6

A listing of the hierarchy of components, their description, and the quantity of each required to make one unit of product is the ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A listing of the hierarchy of components,...

Question 7

Group technology requires that:

Accepted Answer

Group technology classifies similar parts into groups and assigns them a code specifying size, shape, and processing requirements. This allows for standardized manufacturing processes and easier search and retrieval of information about parts. Therefore, each component must be identified by a coding scheme that specifies size, shape, and the type of processing. The other options are not necessarily required for group technology.

Question 8

Which of the following documents lists the operations necessary to produce the component with the material specified in the bill of material?

Accepted Answer

A route sheet typically lists the operations needed to produce a component along with the necessary tools, machines, and labor required for each operation. It is the document that guides the manufacturing process and ensures that components are manufactured to specification. An engineering drawing provides detailed information about the dimensions and tolerances of a component, but it does not list the operations required to produce that component. An assembly drawing illustrates how the components of a product fit together, but it does not provide information about the manufacturing process. An assembly chart and an operations chart are not commonly used manufacturing documents.

Question 9

An assembly drawing lists the operations necessary to produce the component.

Accepted Answer

An assembly drawing shows the different parts of a component and how they fit together, but does not typically list the operations necessary to produce the component. That information is typically found in a manufacturing or production plan.

Question 10

An exploded view of the product is a(n) ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of An exploded view of the product is...

Question 11

An operations manager has carefully examined the 1500 parts produced in his factory and classified them into 30 families with geometric similarities using codes that contain design attributes. This is an example of:

Accepted Answer

The process of classifying parts based on geometric similarities is known as group technology. The operations manager has used codes to identify design attributes in order to group parts into families that share similar characteristics. This helps to streamline production processes and improve efficiency by reducing setup times and allowing for more efficient use of equipment and resources.

Question 12

A document for production that gives the instruction to make a given quantity of a particular item, usually to a given schedule, is a(n):

Accepted Answer

A work order is a document that specifies the quantity of a particular item to be produced, along with instructions for how and when to produce it. This document helps ensure that production processes are carried out efficiently and effectively, according to a predetermined schedule. A route sheet, bill of information, assembly chart, and value analysis are all related to the production process, but they do not specifically address the instructions for making a given quantity of a particular item.

Question 13

Which of the following shows in schematic form how a product is assembled?

Accepted Answer

An assembly chart shows in schematic form how a product is assembled. Engineering drawings are more detailed and show individual parts and their dimensions. Assembly routing, route sheet, and process sheet are all related to the sequence of steps in manufacturing but do not provide a visual diagram of how the product is assembled.

Question 14

An assembly drawing shows an exploded view of the product, usually a three-dimensional or isometric drawing.

Accepted Answer

An assembly drawing typically shows an exploded view of the product, allowing for a clearer understanding of the individual components and how they fit together.

Question 15

What identifies components by a coding scheme that specifies size, shape, and the type of processing (such as size)?

Accepted Answer

Group technology uses a coding scheme called the "Classification and Coding Scheme" that identifies components by their size, shape, and type of processing. This allows for easier identification and grouping of similar parts for increased efficiency in production. The other options listed may also be used in manufacturing, but do not specifically use a coding scheme to identify components.

Question 16

A drawing that shows the dimensions, tolerances, materials, and finishes of a component is a(n) ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A drawing that shows the dimensions, tolerances,...

Question 17

The hierarchy of components, their description, and the quantity of each required to make one unit of a product are documented on:

Accepted Answer

A bill of material (BOM) is a comprehensive list of components, items, assemblies, and subassemblies required to create a product, and it includes the quantity of each required for each product.

Question 18

An assembly drawing:

Accepted Answer

The answer of An assembly drawing:
...

Question 19

A work order is a list of the hierarchy of components, their description, and the quantity of each required to make one unit of the product.

Accepted Answer

Although a work order is a document that provides instructions for the manufacturing or production process, it typically includes detailed instructions or steps needed to complete a specific task or job, but not necessarily the hierarchy of components and their descriptions. However, a bill of materials (BOM) is a document that does provide a list of the hierarchy of components, their description, and the quantity of each required to make one unit of the product.

Question 20

A route sheet provides a(n):

Accepted Answer

A route sheet provides the sequence of operations necessary to produce a component. It includes information such as the process steps, tools required, work instructions, and quality checks. It does not provide an exploded view of the product, schematic, instruction to make a specific quantity or detailed instructions about how to perform a task.
