Question

Question 18 Which of the following statements about your company's assembly operations for cameras and drones is FALSE? The capital costs of new workstations, facilities expansions, and robotics upgrades are paid in full in the year they occur The manufacturers of robots have recently developed small robots capable of performing some of the tasks/work steps in assembling both action cameras and UAV drones; installing one of these robots at each camera/drone workstation enables the size of PATs to be cut from 4 persons to 3 persons. o shifting to robot-assisted assembly requires increasing PAT compensation by 25%, because robot-assisted assembly is more complex and requires use of more highly-skilled PAT members Robot-assisted assembly can be used in one assembly facility and manual assembly can be used in the other assembly facility--it is NOT necessary to shift to robot-assisted assembly for both cameras and drones simultaneously. If the company decides to shift from manual assembly to robotics-assisted assembly for cameras and/or drones, ALL existing workstations in a camera or drone assembly facility must be upgraded to include the use of a robot and all workstations added thereafter in that facility must be robot-equipped

Explanation / Answer

The answer is the last option.

It is not necessary that ALL the workstations be upgraded to use robots. A mix of both manual assembly and robotics-assisted assembly can be implemented.
