Title: Create products using a combination of CADD, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer numerical controlled (CNC), CIM, and flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) processes.
Course: Production Systems (13101-18) > Section: Examining the Designed World

Product and process development should include

- evaluation and selection of CADD, CAM, CNC, CIM, and FMS processes used to create a product
- description of how FMS increase productivity and new product development
- creation of a viable order of operations for creating a product based on machine limitations and tolerances
- development of a portfolio.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is a combination of CADD, CAM, CNC, CIM, and FMS necessary in modern manufacturing?
- How does FMS keep manufacturers ahead of their competition?
- Why are tolerances necessary when multiple processes and machines are used to create a product?
- What is the difference between accuracy and precision?
