 Sample Questions and Answers

1. What is the primary objective of Just-In-Time (JIT) production?

A. Increase lead time
B. Reduce waste and inventory cost
C. Improve packaging
D. Automate all processes

Answer: B. Reduce waste and inventory cost
Explanation: JIT aims to produce only what is needed when it is needed.

2. Which tool is most used in Six Sigma for identifying root causes of a problem?

A. Pareto chart
B. Fishbone diagram
C. Control chart
D. Gantt chart

Answer: B. Fishbone diagram
Explanation: Also called Ishikawa diagram, it visualizes potential causes.

3. A belt rotates a pulley with a radius of 0.5m at 120 RPM. What is the linear speed at the edge?
(Use π ≈ 3.14)

A. 62.8 m/min
B. 31.4 m/min
C. 120 m/min
D. 188.4 m/min

Answer: A. 62.8 m/min
Explanation: Linear speed = 2πr × RPM = 2×3.14×0.5×120 = 62.8

4. What type of maintenance is performed only after equipment fails?

A. Predictive
B. Preventive
C. Reactive
D. Proactive

Answer: C. Reactive
Explanation: Reactive maintenance is corrective and occurs after failure.

5. Which material has the highest thermal conductivity?

A. Aluminum
B. Copper
C. Steel
D. Plastic

Answer: B. Copper
Explanation: Copper is widely known for its excellent thermal conductivity.

6. What is the function of a PLC in a manufacturing plant?

A. Power limiting control
B. Programmable control of machines
C. Planning line capacity
D. Personnel location control

Answer: B. Programmable control of machines
Explanation: PLC = Programmable Logic Controller.

7. A batch process takes 10 minutes per cycle. If you need 240 units, how long will the total production take assuming 1 unit per cycle?

A. 20 hours
B. 24 hours
C. 40 hours
D. 12 hours

Answer: B. 24 hours
Explanation: 240 cycles × 10 minutes = 2400 mins = 40 hrs; but 1 unit per 10 min = 2400 mins = 40 hrs. Correction: C. 40 hours.

8. Which of these is not a lean manufacturing principle?

A. Eliminate waste
B. Increase inventory
C. Continuous improvement
D. Pull system

Answer: B. Increase inventory
Explanation: Lean seeks to minimize inventory, not increase it.

9. Which instrument measures rotational speed in RPM?

A. Manometer
B. Caliper
C. Tachometer
D. Thermocouple

Answer: C. Tachometer
Explanation: Tachometers are designed to measure the rotational speed.

10. Which diagram best tracks process variation over time in manufacturing?

A. Pie chart
B. Control chart
C. Flow chart
D. Gantt chart

Answer: B. Control chart
Explanation: Control charts track variation and stability over time.
