Textbook Question
Chapter 41, Problem 22RQ
The classic manufacturing systems are controlled using mrp and MRP II, ERP, or other such programs for production and inventory control. Explain what these systems are and why they are called push systems. (Note: This question does not ask how MRP systems work to control production and/or inventory, since very' few people ever really' understood it anyway.)

Students have asked these similar questions
a. With the aid of diagrams describe how a production plan is
generated for a traditional 'push' planning and control system
and compare this to a 'pull' system
b. In terms of machine utilisation, discuss the benefits and
drawbacks of each?
7 c. The following options have been proposed to reduce the
inventory level for the situation outlined in Q4c.
Option A: The delay time T is halved (T/2)
Option B: Capacity C is increased to 200 units
Option C: X becomes 12.5%
In the discipline of mechanical engineering, what do you know about Pro/Engineer software? What are the names of three CAD programs?
Guide Questions:
1. In your own words, how will you describe a microcontroller?
2. What is the role of a microcontroller in robot programming?
3. In your opinion, can robots think on their own? Explain further.
