PART B
(4 10 :40)
II. (a) Discuss briefly the four basic elements in
CAD: Geometric (6)
modelling/Database - Engineering Analysis - Design review evaluation -
Automatic Drafting.
(b) Explain following elements in line balancing problem: (4)
(i) Minimum Rational work element
(ii) Total work content
(iii) Workstation process time
(iv) Cycle time
OR
m. (a) Explain steps in data exchange between CAD and CAM. (4)
(b) A 30 station transfer line is being proposed to machine a certain component (6)
currently produced by conventional methods. The proposal received from
the machine tool builder states that the line will operate at 100%o efficiency
at a production rate of 100 pc/tr. From a similar transfer line it is estimated
that breakdowns of all types will occur at a frequency of F:0.20
breakdowns per cycle and that the average downtime per line stop will be
8.0 minutes. The starting blank that is machined on the line costs {5.00 per
part. The line operates at a cost for 100 parts each and the average cost per
:
tool {.20 per cutting edge. Compute (i) Production rate (ii)
Line
efficiency (iii) Cost per unit piece produced on the line.
