    The skills of many workers are becoming redundant, leading to unemployment.  The solution is for workers to get .................

    • Fired

    • Re-trained

    • Job-sharing ideas

    • Overcome feelings of being de-humanised quickly

    Correct Answer
    A. Re-trained
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "re-trained" because if the skills of many workers are becoming redundant, it means that their current skills are no longer in demand. Therefore, the solution would be for these workers to acquire new skills through re-training in order to increase their employability and find new job opportunities.

    Making sure a product is ready before prototypes are made is an example of which manaufacturing technology?

    • CAM

    • CNC

    • CIM

    • CAD

    Correct Answer
    A. CAD
    Explanation
    CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design, which is a manufacturing technology that involves using computer software to create and modify product designs. CAD allows engineers and designers to create detailed digital models of products before they are physically produced. By ensuring that a product is ready before prototypes are made, CAD helps to minimize errors and optimize the design process, saving time and resources.

    Machines doing specific tasks according to numbers is an example of which technology?

    • CAM

    • CIM

    • CAD

    • CNC

    Correct Answer
    A. CNC
    Explanation
    CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, which is a technology that involves machines performing specific tasks based on numerical instructions. It uses computer programming and automation to control the movement and operation of machines, such as mills, lathes, or routers. CNC technology allows for precise and efficient manufacturing processes by automating the control of tools and machinery, reducing human error and increasing productivity. Therefore, machines doing specific tasks according to numbers is an example of CNC technology.

    When the whole factory is is linked into and controlled automatically, this is an example of which computer technology?

    • CIM

    • CAD

    • CNC

    • CAM

    Correct Answer
    A. CIM
    Explanation
    CIM stands for Computer Integrated Manufacturing, which is a computer technology that connects and controls the entire factory automatically. It integrates various manufacturing processes, such as design, production, and logistics, into a single system. CIM enables seamless communication and coordination between different departments and machines, improving efficiency and productivity in the manufacturing process.

    Efficient production means making the best use of all resources so that the highest number of quality items may be produced at least unit cost.

    • True all the time

    • True most of the time

    • True for service industry only

    • True for products only

    • Untrue

    Correct Answer
    A. True all the time
    Explanation
    Efficient production is always about maximizing the use of resources to achieve the highest possible output of quality items at the minimum cost per unit. This principle applies to both the service industry and the production of physical products. Therefore, the statement "True all the time" is an accurate explanation for the given answer.

    Teamworking and cell production are examples of:

    • Resource management

    • Idle resources

    • Productivity

    Correct Answer
    A. Resource management
    Explanation
    Teamworking and cell production are examples of resource management because they involve effectively allocating and utilizing resources within an organization. In teamworking, resources such as skills, knowledge, and abilities of team members are managed and coordinated to achieve common goals. Similarly, in cell production, resources such as equipment, materials, and labor are organized and optimized to enhance productivity and efficiency. Both practices require careful planning, coordination, and allocation of resources to ensure their effective utilization, making them examples of resource management.

    What are the possible methods of measuring efficiency?

    • Productivity, Unit costs, Idle resources, Stock levels, Quality & Reinvention

    • Pricing, Unit costs, Idle resources, Stock levels, Quality & Resource management

    • Productivity, Unit costs, Idle resources, Stock levels, Quality & Resource management

    • Productivity, Total costs, Idle resources, Stock levels, Quality & Resource management

    • Productivity, Unit costs, Idle resources, spoilage, Quality & Resource management

    Correct Answer
    A. Productivity, Unit costs, Idle resources, Stock levels, Quality & Resource management
    Explanation
    The possible methods of measuring efficiency include productivity, unit costs, idle resources, stock levels, and quality & resource management. These methods allow organizations to assess their performance and identify areas for improvement. By measuring productivity, a company can determine how effectively it is utilizing its resources to generate output. Unit costs provide insights into the cost-efficiency of producing a single unit of a product or service. Monitoring idle resources helps identify underutilized assets that could be better utilized. Stock levels indicate how efficiently inventory is managed. Quality & resource management measures ensure that resources are used effectively and that the organization is meeting quality standards.
