Question

question 6 of 10
what type of software operates with automaticity?
a. materials management software
b. cam software
c. word processing software
d. oltp

Explanation:

• CAM software (Computer - Aided Manufacturing): It is designed to control machine tools and related manufacturing processes. It can operate with a high degree of automaticity, taking input (such as design data from CAD software) and generating instructions for manufacturing equipment to produce parts or products without continuous manual intervention at every step of the manufacturing process.
• Materials management software: While it helps in inventory control, procurement, etc., it is more about data management and process support in the supply - chain related to materials rather than having the same level of direct manufacturing - process automaticity as CAM.
• Word processing software: Is mainly for text creation, formatting, and editing. It requires significant user input for content creation and formatting decisions and does not operate in a highly automatic manufacturing - like process.
• OLTP (Online Transaction Processing): Focuses on handling transactional data in real - time (e.g., in banking for account transactions). It is about data integrity and concurrent transaction handling rather than automatic manufacturing operations.

Answer:

B. CAM software
