Q.5) What is preventive maintenance? Why it is better than Breakdown Maintenance?
What are the key activities of Preventive Maintenance?
Answer.5)
Preventive maintenance anticipates failures and adopts necessary actions to check
failures before they occur. It includes activities like inspection, lubrication cleaning and unkeeps,
minor adjustments and replacements found necessary at the time of inspection etc. Preventive
maintenance can be either: running maintenance or shut down maintenance. Running
maintenance includes maintenance activities (e.g. minor adjustments In machines revealed
through inspections, lubrication, cleaning and unkeep etc.) Which are carried out when the
machine is still running. Shutdown maintenance includes preventive maintenance activities such
as minor component replacement whose needs are identified through inspections, which require
stoppage of Machines. Preventive inspection is one of the key activities of preventive
maintenance which is usually performed by making use of human senses watch) eye),
listen (ear), Touch (hand, leg, body) smell (nose) and taste (tongue) but the trend is Changing
towards use of condition monitoring instruments. Such maintenance. Practice is known as
predictive maintenance or condition based maintenance.

Q.10) (a) What are X-R Charts? How are they made and used in controlling a process?
Answer.10)
X-R chart is a pair of chart consisting of a average (called X chart) and a range
Chart (called R chart) placed one below another on a piece of graph paper. The X chart is used to
control the mean value of the characteristic an R-chart is used to restrict the range of variations in
the values. X-R charts are drawn when the characteristics are measurable. Each chart consists of
three values: a central line, upper control limit and lower control limit. The central line represents
the arithmetic average of the sample means which equals the mean of the population, u. The
upper and lower control limits are located at three standard deviation on either side of the central
line.
Samples of fixed size are drawn at regular intervals and measurements are taken. The
samples wise values of the mean and range are plotted in their respective X and R charts.
The spread of sample points in the charts is studied to decide the remedial action (if any) to be
taken. The X chart analyses whether or not the mean of the quality Characteristics is within
control while R-chart analyses whether or not the variability is within control.
STEPS TO PREPARE X-R CHART
A pre-requisite to the preparation of the chart is the decision on the following aspects:
Quality Characteristics refer to the property of the product, which is to be assessed. The
quality characteristics must be capable of being measured. In case of more than quality
characteristics, separate chart is made for each quality characteristic.
Sample size refers to number of pieces comprising each sample. Sample size is an
important decision. It is a common practice to use sample of n = 4 or 5 to have low
appraisal cost. Large samples such as n = 15 or 20 are used if the process standard
deviation is large.
Sample Population refers to the number of samples to be collected to construct a control
chart. The number of samples must be sufficient. Usually, 20 samples each of size 4 or 5
are enough to have good estimates of the process average (X) and dispersion (R).
Time Interval measures the time gap between consecutive samples. Time interval, as a
genera rule, should be proportional to the average frequency of out-of-control conditions.
It is a fairly complex decision since a number of factors such as cost economy,
susceptibility of the process to disturbances; convenience of the inspector etc. requires to
be considered.
The making of X-R Charts involves the following Steps:
Step 1: Collect Data
(a) Collect sufficient samples spread over a reasonable period. Each sample must be
of equal size.
(b) Measure each component comprising the sample for the given quality
characteristic
(c) Record individual measurements on a work data sheet.
Step 2: Calculate mean (X) and Range (R) of each sample
A The mean which is written as X (X bar) is average of each sample and is
Production / Operations ManagementPage 22
Obtained by totaling the individual measurements of the units comprising the
sample and dividing the total by the sample size (number of units in each sample)
B The range, which is written as R, is obtained as the difference between the
highest and the lowest measurement of a sample.
C The values of X and R are recorded sample wise either on the extreme right of
the individual measurements on the data sheet or in a separate table.
Step 3: Calculate grand Average (X) and mean Range (R)
A The grand average, which is written as, X (X double bar) is the average of the
sample averages and is obtained by dividing the total of the averages of all the
samples by the total number of samples.
B The mean range, which is written as, R (R bar) is the average of the ranges and is
obtained by dividing the total of the ranges of the samples by the total number of
samples.
Step 4: Set up Control chart for the average
A Set up a control chart with the central line drawn at X (X double bar), upper
control limit located X + A
2
R (R bar) and the lower control limit set up at X-A
2
R.
B Plot the averages to see whether the process was under control when samples
were drawn.
C If all points fall within the control limits, the process is said to be under control
D If process is not under control (indicated by some points falling outside the
control limits), eliminate points outside the control limits and compute new trial
control limits for the remaining points.
E Repeat step 4 (d) until all points fall within the control limits
F Control limits in a particular situation should be revised from time to time as
additional data is accumulated.
Step 5: Calculate control limits of the range chart
A The control chart for range chart is set up with central line as R, upper control
limit (UCLR) located at D4R above the central line and lower control limit
(LCL) at D3R below the central line
B Plot the value of the range of each sample.
C If all points fall within the control limits no modification is necessary unless it is
desired to reduce the process dispersion
D if range chart exhibits lack of control indicated by some points falling outside the
control limits, eliminate those points out of control and compute new trial control
limits
E Repeat step 5 (d) until all points fall within the control limits.
F Control limits in a practical situation should be revised time to time as
additional data is accumulated.
Production / Operations ManagementPage 23
Step 6: Use control chart
A Collect samples of fixed size at specified intervals of time.
B Measure each unit of the sample for the quality characteristics, calculate mean
and the range of each sample.
C Plot the values of X and R of each sample in their respective charts
D Study the trend of the points to interpret and suggest remedial action
Q10 (b) ABC company produces a solvent, which must contain 3 percent of alcohol. It tries
to maintain the actual percentage at 3 + 0.3 percent. It tests hourly in samples of five. The
following table shows the results of last five samples. Set up a control chart for mean and
examine whether the process is under control.
A) Solution:
(i) Collect data
(ii) Calculate mean (X bar) and range(R bar)
Sample No. Arithmetic Mean (X bar) Range(R)
1 2.92 0.3
2 2.98 0.1
3 3.06 0.1
4 3 0
5 3 0.2
(iii) Calculate grand average and the mean range
X(X bar) = 2.92 + 2.98 + 3.06 + 3 + 3
5
= 2.992
R = 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0 + 0.2
5
= 0.14
Production / Operations ManagementPage 24
(iv) Set Up control chart for the average
Central Line = CLx = X(X bar) = 2.992
Upper Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) + A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 + 0.5768 x 0.14
= 3.476
Lower Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) - A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 - 0.5768 x 0.14
= 2.507
(v) Set up a range chart
Central line CLR = R(R bar) = 0.14
Lower control limit = LCLR = D3.R (R bar)
= 0 x 0.14
= 0
Lower control limit = UCLR = D4.R (R bar)
= 2.114 x 0.14
= 0.29596

Q.6) What is method study? Describe the procedural steps to develop easier and effective
methods.
Answer.6)
Method study is the systematic recording and critical examination of existing and
proposed ways of doing work, as a means of developing and applying easier and more effective
methods and reducing costs.
Method study is an organized approach and its investigation rests on the following six basic steps
outlined in the block diagram
Select the work to be analyzed.
Record all facts relating to the existing method.
Examine the recorded facts critically but impartially.
Develop the most economical method commensurate with plant Requirements
Install the new method as standard practice.
Maintain the new method.
Selection of the job
Selections of the jobs to be studied for methods improvement by the method study
practioner is a managerial responsibility and it (selection) may be based on economic
technical or human consideration. Economic consideration justifies selection based on
the economic worth (i.e. money saving potential) of the job.
Technical consideration identifies jobs, which require studies to overcome manufacturing
difficulties (excessive rejection, relaxation in prefixed performance standards, inability if
the shops to stick to specified machining parameters such as speeds, feeds, depth of cut
etc., inconsistent quality etc.) Human consideration in job selection is usually given
weightage while introducing method study practices for the first time.
Recording of facts
Systematic recording is the most crucial step in method improvement. Since recording
by long hand (or by descriptive method) has its limitations, it is not recommended for use
in method study. Instead, five symbols and eight charting conventions are used to record
facts relating to the job under study. Five typical symbols are O, ||, , D and V and eight
charting conventions concern composition of the chart, reject, rework, repletion, change
of state, introducing of new material, combined events and numbering of events. The
document on which details of the process are recorded by the above referred symbols and
conventions is called chart. There are four basic types of chart: (i) operation process
chart (ii) Flow process chart (iii) multiple activity charts and (iv) two handed process
chart.
Besides charts, two types of diagrams-flow diagram and string diagram are drawn when
recording details of an existing layout. Travel chart is another typical chart, which is
used to record frequency of movements (weight x distance) between work
centres/departments.
Production / Operations ManagementPage 26
Repetitive short cycle operation which involves quick hand/feel motions (i.e. microscopic
motions) may be studied with micro motion study. Glibreth, founder father of micro
motion study, also developed photographic techniques called cyclograph and
chronocylegraph to record path of the motions of the members of the body.
Critical examination
Critical examination aims to analyze the facts critically and thereby give rise to
alternatives, which form the basis of selection and development of easier, and effective
methods.
Critical examination is conducted through a systematic and methodical questioning
process. Each activity recorded on the chart, whether it relates to processing or
inspection, or material handling, or to any other aspect, is picked up one at a time and is
examined minutely. The questioning process is considered under five major heads,
namely the purpose, the place, the sequence, the person and the means. These five
aspects in critical examination are referred to as five governing considerations.
Development and selection:
Development and selection stage concerns short listing of ideas generated at the critical
examination stage, testing each short listed idea for its technical and economic feasibility,
and making selection among the alternatives wherever choice exists. To develop ideas
and to ascertain their technical and economical feasibility, the method study practioner
needs to solicit the cooperation of personnel from different departments of the company.
Various techniques available for the development and selection purpose are: cost benefit
analysis, break even analysis, investment analysis and critical path analysis.
Installation
Installation (or implementation) of the proposed method involves preparation of project
report on recommendations making oral presentation to the top management, securing
approval of the decision maker, assisting line management during implementation,
arranging training of workmen, and getting jobs (operations) retime after implementation,
arranging training of workmen, and getting jobs (operations) retimed after
implementation.
Maintenance
Maintenance phase is the follow up phase after implementation, which serves as a
monitoring and control mechanism. It helps to ensure that the revised methods are set
into concrete and workmen do not revert back to old methods. It also provides an
opportunity to the practitioner to assess the effectiveness of the approach followed by
him and makes changes in the methodology (if required).

Q.9) (a) What desirable conditions need to be present to be present to guarantee success of
an incentive scheme?
Answer.9)
A good wage incentive plan should have the following characteristics.
Administrative simplicity:
The incentive system should be simple and must be easily understood by the workers and
their representatives. An incentives scheme, which can be understood, only by engineers and
mathematicians or a scheme which involves the use of complex formulate or references and
cross-references is sure to fail. The incentive scheme should be such that workmen can
calculate their own earnings easily and quickly.
Minimum clerical work:
The system should fit into existing system of production and cost control. It should not
involve any significant addition to the clerical work.
Maximum coverage:
The system should cover as many workmen as possible. A scheme if applied to a few
workmen creates a demoralizing effect on the morale of those not covered by the scheme.
Direct
Incentive payments should increase at least in direct proportion to the increase in output by
the operator. There are two reasons:
Firstly because it is more difficult to producer extra units and secondly because saving in the
overheads are far greater at higher levels of production.
Period of Payment
The period of payment should be as short as possible
Adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rate
The scheme must ensure adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rate to all incentive workers
regardless of their output. Such an hourly guaranteed rate is normally referred to as the
guaranteed base rate.
The guaranteed base rate must be realistic and should be at least equal to the hourly rate
payable to a non-incentive worker doing similar job in the industry. Incentive earnings of the
workers should never be regarded as a substitute for poor wages.
Accurate and yet attainable performance standards
Performance standards should be set through systematic work measurement studies. The
experts to that there is no dispute or malpractice and yet the standards are attainable so that a
worker working at normal pace can attain them should base the standards of measurement on
the assessment.
Production / Operations ManagementPage 28
Further the incentive plan should be such that it provides an opportunity to all average
workers to earn reasonable earnings.
Consistency of the standards
Standards once fixed should not be changed unless there is a permanent change in methods,
or change in equipment, or change in material and plan should provide for the provisions to
modify the performance standards.
Inbuilt check on process rejections
A good incentive scheme should exercise a check on the operator against achieving higher
bonus by poor workmanship. Payment should be made only for pieces declared acceptable
by the inspection department and a workman constantly producing substandard pieces should
be liable for disciplinary action.
Payment of partially completed jobs
The problem of payment for the incomplete work arises only in case of long cycle jobs.
Situations do arise when the jobs are of very long cycle duration and cannot be finished
within the bonus period. Similarly, a semi-finished job may require to be handed over by one
operator to another at the end of shift, or prior to having a holiday. The scheme should
clearly spell out as how assessment of work done by the workmen on the same job will be
carried out and how disputes arising out of such assessment would be resolved.
Payment of Idle Time
Adequate safeguards must be provided to compensate the operator for the time lost due to
reasons beyond his control. A good incentive scheme should ensure that an operator does not
suffer financial loss for reasons attributable to the managerial weakness, e.g.: lack of material
due to bad buying, breakdowns of the machines due to poor maintenance practices, non-
availability of work etc. Thus an operator rendered idle because of factors attributable to the
management should be given a lieu bonus.
Safeguards
The scheme should be fair not only to the employees but also to the employer. Safeguarding
clauses as under should be incorporated to protect.
a. Managements right to change a standard when there are changes in methods. Materials
and machines
b. Managements right to withdraw or discontinue temporarily a scheme during bad period.
c. Managements right to initiate disciplinary action against operators who continually
produce sub-standard articles.
d. Managements right to initiate disciplinary action against employees who, time and
again, do not achieve minimum standard of production even in the presence of fair and
accurate standards.
e. Managements right to initiate disciplinary action against employees who, time and again
are found using speeds and feeds higher than those recommended in the process sheet (or
operational layouts)
Maximum ceiling on the earnings
The system should have built-in-control against higher earnings beyond a certain limit.
Firstly, the system should discourage workers to work beyond a certain limit otherwise too
attractive an incentive scheme may induce the worker to work more and more and thereby
Production / Operations ManagementPage 29
adversely affect his health. Secondly, the system should ensure that in case of loose
standards the company does not lose financially.
Consistency of Plan
The plan should be consistent over a period of time. Frequent changes in the plan make its
functioning difficult. Faith in plan is lost if there are frequent revisions.
Acceptance of Labour Body
The scheme should finally have acceptance of the labour body. The body of workers
representatives to prevent any misunderstanding and ill-feeling later on must accept the basic
incentive plan and its provisions.
Continuous Use
The scheme should be in continuous use. The temporary use of the scheme in good times and
its discontinuation in bad times makes its functioning difficult.
Define End Results
The plan must result in reduction in per unit labor cost.
