Can you explain Autofacturing?

Autofacturing mostly falls under manufacturing engineering, which often crosses over with industrial engineering. Therefore, you may be asked about it in an interview. Answer with the following, 'Autofacturing is defined as a production system that is made up primarily of automated equipment which is configured as multiple integrated subsystems that use computer controls and a common database and to make, test and transport specifically designed products at top and uniform quality levels, while simultaneously meeting flexible specifications at a minimum amount of employee labor. There are multiple levels of autofacturing that come from lower levels of individual cells up to complete and integrated systems. Most systems are somewhere in between, but they are progressing toward a complete system.'
