Question Paper
Distinguish between Production Management and Industrial Engineering.
Compare and contrast the different types of production systems.
Define process design. Explain its framework by means of a block diagram.
Discuss the various factors influencing capacity planning.
Explain the various steps involved in time study.
A worker operating on a machine performs the following elements:
The description of element
their observed time and
ratings are given below. Compute the standard time for the component.
Element Description Observed Time Rating Relaxation Allowance
A Position the job 0.25 80% 10%
B Switch and lower drill 0.09 100% 11%
C Drill hole 2.8 90% 12%
D Raise drill and switch 0.05 80% 10%
E Remove job from Jig 0.15 110% 11%
What benefits can be derived from a good plant layout Mention the guiding principles in designing a layout of facilities.
Distinguish the role of aggregate planning and master scheduling.
Explain the various strategies associated with aggregate planning.
Define and explain 'Quality'. How do you perceive the role of a quality control manager in an organization?
6. A small project is composed of the following activities whose time estimates are given below:
Activity Optimistic time (weeks) Most likely time (weeks) Pessimistic time (weeks)
1-2 1 1 7
1-3 1 4 7
1-4 2 2 8
2-5 1 1 1
3-5 2 5 14
4-6 2 5 8
5-6 3 6 15
Draw the network and determine:
the expected duration and variance for each activity.
the critical path and project completion time.
7. A manufacturer currently has 10 jobs for processing in his machine shop. The estimated processing times and due dates for the jobs are given below
Job 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Process time 5 5 6 20 8 12 14 7 10 6
Due date 20 20 10 40 50 60 50 40 60 80
The manufacturer follows the SPT rule for developing a working schedule.
What is the number of tardy jobs under SPT rule?
Suggest a sequence to minimize the number of tardy jobs.
Compare the above two sequences with reference to mean flow time, mean lateness and the number of tardy jobs.
Compare and contrast the different types of production systems.
Define process design. Explain its framework by means of a block diagram.
