FMS (True|False)

FMS consist of expensive, general-purpose computer-numerically-controlled

(CNC) machines and other programmable automation.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The flexible manufacturing systems are not effective when designed with

multi-axis machines that operate in parallel.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Many of the manufacturers that bought FMSs are pleased with their

performance.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The high cost of FMS is one of the major reasons for the low level of acceptance

or satisfaction with FMS.

• TRUE

• FALSE

General-purpose CNCs are built after the manufacturer selects machines and

after process planning is undertaken.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The combination of high equipment costs and low productivity makes the

cost per part relatively low.

• TRUE

• FALSE

This approach increases cost since it requires a parallel system structure for

FMS.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) can produce a variety of products,

with a changeable volume and mix, on the same system.

• TRUE

• FALSE

FMSs consist of cheap, general-purpose computer numerically controlled

(CNC) machines.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The flexibility of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) allows the system

to react in the case of changes.

• TRUE

• FALSE
