Industrial Engineering & Ergonomics (ME-504 (A)) - Important Questions

Explain micro-motion study and memo-motion study and their applications in method study for improving productivity.

Explain the purpose, objectives, benefits and applications of work study and how it improves productivity in manufacturing industries.

Explain the various recording techniques used in method study like outline process chart, flow process chart, man-machine chart, two-handed process chart, string diagram, flow diagram, multiple activity chart and SIMO chart.

Define SIMO chart and explain its construction and operation with a suitable example.

Define work measurement. Explain its objectives and basic procedure.

A work sampling study showed that 25% of a work week of 48 hours was consumed by avoidable delays. The operator was rated at 110% on average and 80 units were produced in the week. Calculate the standard time per unit including 15% allowances.

Explain the basic procedure of work sampling. How to design and conduct a work sampling study for establishment of standard time?

Explain rating and methods of rating and allowances. A time study gives observed time 12 min, rating 110% and allowances 15%. Calculate normal time and standard time.

Explain elemental and non-elemental predetermined motion systems. Describe the work factors system.

What is Methods Time Measurement (MTM)? Explain MTM and MOST with their applications.

Describe the Starlight line, Tailor, Merrick and Gantt incentive plans with suitable examples.

Define human factors engineering and explain its history of development.

Explain the man-machine system as integration of operator (man) and operation (machine) and describe its types and characteristics.

Explain what is meant by anthropometric data, the factors affecting it, and its purpose and importance in ergonomic design with examples.

Explain the development and use of human factor data in ergonomic design.

Enlist and describe the types of visual displays, visual indicators and warning signals.
