(also known as FMS) adaptable production systems for changing needs

producing only what’s needed, when needed

a production method that focuses on minimising waste

when a machine or system is not operational due to maintenance or failure

the length of time from order to production completion

Efficient manufacturing systems

Design and technology

In this unit pupils will develop designing and making principles knowledge with an explicit focus on exam technique.

Adapting to different product types and volumes quickly

Which of the following is a feature of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS)?

Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing aims to reduce {{}} and improve production efficiency

The time it takes from receiving an order to completing production.

When a production system is halted due to maintenance or failure.

A method that focuses on eliminating production waste.

A system that adapts quickly to different product types or volumes.

Match the term to its correct definition:

To increase the number of products produced

To eliminate waste while maintaining high quality

What is the primary goal of lean manufacture?

In a {{}} system, machines and production processes can quickly adapt to make different products as needed.

The product is delivered to the customer.

Put these steps of Just-in-Time (JIT) production in the correct order:

QA prevents defects, while QC identifies and corrects them

QC ensures mistakes don’t happen, while QA checks finished products

QA only applies to manufacturing, while QC applies to all industries

Which statement best describes the difference between Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)?

Standardisation is important in Quality Control because it ensures that all products and components are {{}}

Arrange the following manufacturing processes in order of shortest to longest lead time:

Affects the choice of process (e.g. cutting, moulding)

Influences how quickly products need to be made

Match the factor to its impact on manufacturing:

Which of the following is an example of a direct cost?

The organisation setting product safety standards
