Pros / Cons
Advantages:
- If the part is highly
standardized and will be manufactured in large quantities, an
automated transfer machine can be very effective. Its effectiveness
is closely related to the degree to which the design of the product
is standardized and the time over which no changes on the design
are permitted.
- It minimizes the skilled
labor needed.
Disadvantages:
- Such specialized machines
are expensive to design and build
- They are used to
make products in very large quantities for considerable periods
of time to spread the cost of the initial investment over many
units.
