Questions and Answers

What is the main function of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) based on the text?

Controlling the flow of material through the factory. (correct)
Connecting machines together to run by sending commands.
Managing just the machines in the factory.
Running part A and then part B sequentially.

How does CIM enable quick switching between different parts?

By running part A, then part B sequentially.
By connecting machines together over a network. (correct)
By having a computer send commands to the machines.
By managing inventories and stock efficiently.

In addition to managing machines, what other aspects of manufacturing does CIM handle?

Just the stock and raw material inventories.
The purchasing of parts and design. (correct)
Only the flow of material.
The communication between machines.

Match the following terms with their descriptions at Intel's manufacturing process:

Wafers = Produced with a diameter of 12 inches Automated Material Handling System (AMA) = Uses transportation vehicles for efficient movement of products Transportation vehicles in AMA system = Prioritize and track the movement of products Automation system at Intel = Crucial for operations and prevents major factory halts Signup and view all the answers

Match the following statements with the correct roles in Intel's manufacturing process:

Boxes containing wafers = Can hold up to 25 wafers at a time Transportation vehicles in AMA system = Pick up products and deliver them to processing tools Efficient movement of products within the factory = Ensured by the AMA system Failure of automation system at Intel = Could lead to major parts of the factory coming to a halt Signup and view all the answers

Match the following features with their importance in Intel's manufacturing process:

Wafers produced at Intel = Too heavy for one person to handle AMA system transportation vehicles = Ensure timely delivery of products to processing tools Automation system at Intel = Considered one of the most automated in the world AMA system vehicles prioritization = Ensures products reach necessary processing tools on time Signup and view all the answers

Match the following functions with their significance at Intel's manufacturing process:

Study Notes

CIM stands for computer-integrated manufacturing, which involves connecting machines controlled by a computer network to perform tasks efficiently.
The computer sends commands to machines, such as instructing a robot to move a part to a specific machine for processing.
CIM allows for quick switching between different tasks by managing machines, parts, stock, raw materials, inventories, and material flow in the factory.
The system can also connect to other computer-based systems involved in product development, including purchasing parts and design processes.
Overall, CIM streamlines manufacturing processes by integrating machines, computers, and various aspects of production and development.
