Fixed cost:
Fixed costs are those that are incurred in a predetermined amount, regardless of how many units of the product are manufactured.
(Kalpakjian S. , Schmid S.R. , Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, p.215)
variable cost:
variable coss are those incurred in direct proportion to the number of units produced.
(Kalpakjian S. , Schmid S.R. , Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, p.215)
intelligent robot:
the intelligent robotis capable of performing some of the functions and tasks carried out by humans.
(Kalpakjian S. , Schmid S.R. , Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, p.1169)
computer-aided process planning:
process planning is concerned with selecting methods of production: tooling,fixtures,machinery,sequence of operations, and assembly.all of these diverse activities must be planned, which traditionally has been done by process planners.
(Kalpakjian S. , Schmid S.R. , Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, p.1204)
