Time: 3 Hours Max.Marks:75
Answer any five questions
JN
All questions carry equal marks
---
TU
1.a) What is automation? Discuss various types of automation.
b) Enumerate different components in the hydraulic system. [8+7]

2.a) List the merits and demerits of automation in production systems.


b) Explain ten strategies for automation and process improvement. [7+8]
H
3.a) In a 10-station transfer line, the probability that a station breakdown will occur for a
given work part equals 0.01. This probability is the same for all 10 stations. Determine the
U
frequency of line stops per cycle on this flow line using the upper bound approach and
calculate the production rate.
se
b) What are the ways of improving line balance? [8+7]

4.a) Explain the analysis of transfer lines with no internal parts storage.
d
b) Explain any four reasons, why storage buffers are used on automated production lines.
[7+8]

5. A manual assembly line is to be designed to make a small consumer product. The work
elements, their times, and the precedence constraints are as follows:
pe
Element Time (min) Preceded by: Element Time (min) Preceded by:
2 0.7 1 7 0.3 4
3 0.5 1 8 0.9 4,9
4 0.8 2 9 0.3 5,6
rs
5 1.0 2,3 10 0.5 7,8

The workers will operate the line for 400 min per day and must produce 300 products per
day. A mechanized belt, moving at a speed of 4.0 ft/min, will transport the products
between workstations. Because of the variability in the time required to perform the
assembly operations, it has been determined that the tolerance time should be equal to 1.5
times the cycle time of the line.
a) Determine the ideal number of workstations on the line.
b) Use the ranked positional weights method to balance the line.
c) Compute the balance delay for your solution in part (b). [15]
6.a) Discuss the different types of assembly systems.
b) Explain the other ways to improve line balancing in flexible assembly lines. [7+8]

7.a) Describe the following automated guided vehicle system with the help of a simple
sketch:
i) Driverless automated guided train ii) Unit load carrier.
b) With neat diagrams explain the functioning of various types of Transfer Mechanisms.[8+7]
JN
8.a) Explain how various parameters such as cutting force, and temperatures are controlled
using the adaptive control concept.
TU
b) Explain Business Process Reengineering. [8+7]
