Artificial intelligence (AI)

Computers that can think / make decisions / problem solve / learn / adapt / simultaneously process large amounts of information .(1)

1 of 5

two ways artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to support product design and manufacture.

Simulations (1) allow extensive testing / evaluation of products without the need for a prototype. (1) • Knowledge based / expert systems / co-worker system (1) apply reasoning skills / suggest modifications to products being designed. (1)

2 of 5

three reasons why the operation of a just in time (JIT) system leads to ‘lean manufacturing.

No wasted storage (1) as materials / products are delivered / dispatched just when needed. (1) • No wasted time (1) as production delays are eliminated. (1) • No wasted energy (1) movement of materials is minimized. (1)

3 of 5

the impact that the increasing use of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) is having on employment and the nature of jobs.

Reduced need for manual skills.(1) • Increased unemployment as many systems become automated. (1) • Some jobs reduced to machine minding / repetitive / boring. (1) • Improved safety levels as workers removed from hazards.(1)
