Document Summary

True / false questions: continuous processing is the best way to produce customized output. Taxonomy: knowledge: as a general rule, continuous processing systems produce products for inventory rather than for customer order. Taxonomy: knowledge: a job-shop processing system generally requires less skilled workers than a continuous processing system. Taxonomy: knowledge: avoiding bottlenecks is the primary goal of product design. Chapter 06 - process selection and facilities layout: in general, job-shop systems have a lower unit cost than continuous systems do because continuous systems use costly specialized equipment. Taxonomy: knowledge: a robot consists of three parts: a power supply, a controller, and a mechanical arm. Taxonomy: knowledge: continuous production has been a significant factor underpinning the u. s. standard of living over the last century. Taxonomy: synthesis: right-sized equipment tends to be larger than equipment used in traditional process layout. Taxonomy: knowledge: intermittent processing can take the form of batch processing or a job shop.
