Maintenance function must be decentralised apart from the size of the manufacturing organisation for its better functioning

The component produced on completely automatic machines may be subjected to sampling inspection while parts produced on semi automatic and completely manually operated machines require cent percent inspection

In case of backward pass computation, the latest event time of the burst event equals the smallest of the difference between the latest event time of the head event less duration of the activity converging on the head event

The component produced on completely automatic machines may be subjected to sampling inspection while parts produced on semi-automatic and completely manually operated machines require cent percent inspection

Objective of work study is to improve productivity

root causes of many failures in meeting planned production can be attributed to poor medium / long range planning

The problems of congestion, bottlenecks and backtracking can not be visualised by using templates and models

Job life is one of the factors that influence Process Planning1

Material Requirement Planning is very useful in following situationsLong Lead time for procurement , Several levels of assemblies in product , Long manufacturing cycle

Both, preventive and breakdown maintenance work must be assigned to the same team.

Job Schedule

Which of the following factors decide the choice between the cent percent and sampling inspection?

Nature of inspection , Natural tolerance versus design tolerance , Vendor's quality rating


Feasibility of time schedule requires that an activity be scheduled before any of it's predecessors are scheduled.

One major difference between CPM and PERT is the former's adaptability for the projects where high degree of uncertainty prevails and activity times during performance are expected to vary considerably for certain activities.

Condition monitoring , Planned Lubrication , Preventive inspection

Use of optimum speeds and feeds , Subcontracting , Job splitting

1

How to calculate float?Parallel critical path time minus Non-critical path time

What is the cause of inherent variation or internal variation?Cumulative effect of number of chance causes

Originating process of raw material influence Process Planning1

Planned lubrication is said to be the nervous system of the equipment.1

Which of the following can be termed as operation while recording for method study?


Multiple Choice Single AnswerIn mass/batch production organizations where goods are produced for stocking, Work Order is raised on the basis of


It helps to identify the set of activities and events which are critical and as such must be carefully controlled and monitored , It identifies activities to be given preference in allocation of resources. , It helps to exercise "control by exception".


In case of backward pass computation, the latest event time of the burst event equals the smallest of the difference between the latest event time of the head event less duration of the activity converging on the head event.


Multiple Choice Multiple AnswerWhich of the following method can be adopted to overcome the problem of rushing up a job for it's timely completion?

In case of X bar-R charts,it is ensured that the assignable causes are detected before the tolerances are violated, upper and lower statistical limits are worked out and inserted into a chart.




Information received , Addition or subtraction , Information given

Nuclear power plant

Which are reason due to which the progress of work is rarely in line with its plan?

Any proposed change must not be intimated to workers in advance.0

Inclusion of certain tolerance on the basic dimensions in the drawing

Where does the central line is located in case of p-chart? at p bar

The product layout has following disadvantage Layout is not flexible

Inspection Order can be a verbal order True

How to claculate the producer risk in the OC Curve? Probability that a good lot will be rejected by the sampling

Fixed cost is lower in case of continuous production than intermittent production. False

True

True

Which of the following is the most popular technique for Project Production? PERT & CPM

Multiple Choice Single AnswerWhich industry out of the following industries require maximum consideration for safety factor while selecting plant location?


Absenteeism , Machine breakdowns , Substandard performance against prefixed production standards

Multiple Choice Single AnswerHow industry has responded to the fact of existence of inherant variability of the manufacturing process?




While making X bar-R-chart, values of X bar and R are recoded samplewise either on the extreme right of the individual measurements on the data sheet or in a separate sheet.

In case of X bar, if the pocess is not under control indicated by some points falling outside the control limits, such points outside the control limits are eliminated and new trial control limits for the remaining points are computed.


Multiple Choice Multiple AnswerWhich of the following are the most suitable cases where we can use CPA as effective technique of scheduling?

Overhauling of a CNC machine , Purchase and installation of a newly imported special purpose machine , Design, production and testing of prototype of a fighter aircraft.

Sample sizes for the construction of p-chart are typicaly larger that for Xbar-R-charts.

True

What is the location of lower control limit in the X bar-R control chart? 3 standard deviations below central line

What is the basic philosophy of statistical process control? Prevention is better than cure

1

Which are the first three steps of Critical Path Analysis technique?Activity relationships , Activity identification , Network construction

Plant Layout is concerned with optimum arrangement of the followingStorage space , Machines , Material Handling Equipment

Planned lubrication is said to be the nervous system of the equipment.1

Which kind of inspection is followed in case of product layout?Pilot inspection



Expediting action is necessary if the delays and interruptions are abnormal and hence any subsequent delay is bound to extend the promised delivery date.
