Course Level Assessment Questions
Course Outcome 1 (CO1):
1. Define: Productivity.
2. Explain PMTS.
3. Describe Economic order quantity.
4. Explain the purpose to balance the assembly line.
5. Classify the techniques for aggregate production planning.
Course Outcome 2 (CO2):
1. A work sampling study was conducted to establish the std. Time for a specific
operation. The observations of the study: Total no. of observations: 160, manual
(hand controlled work) is 14, machine controlled work is 106 and machine idle time is

40, Avg. Performance rating: 80%, study conducted for 3 days and 8 hrs working per
day. Calculate the std. time per piece.
2. Differentiate between analytical estimation and PMTS.
3. Demonstrate product flow chart with suitable example.
4. Explain about productivity metric and its functions.
5. Describe about Ranked positional weight method for line balancing.
6. Explain the need of REBA/RULA.
Course Outcome 3 (CO3):

1. In a machine shop work sampling study was conducted for 160 hrs in order to
estimate the std. time. Total numbers of observation recorded were 3500. There
were 600 no. of working activities. Ratio between manual to machine element was
2:1. Avg. rating factor was 1:2 and total no. of jobs produced during the study was
8000. Rest and personal allowances taken together will be 16% of normal time.
Determine the std. time per job.
2. The observed times and the performance ratings for the five elements are given:

Element 1 2 3 4 5
Observed time (min) 0.2 0.06 0.5 0.12 0.1
Performance rating 85 80 90 85 75
Compute the std. time assuming rest and personal allowances as 10% and
contingency allowance as 2% of the basic time.
Course Outcome 4(CO4):

1. Explain the need for good forecasting technique?

2. Determine July month forecast if the wt. moving avg. with weights of 0.60,0.30 and
0.10

Plot the demand as histogram. Determine the production rate required to meet the
avg. demand and plot the avg. demand forecast on the graph.
Course Outcome 5(CO5):
1. Consider the following assembly network relationships of a product. The number of
shifts per day is 1 and the no. of working hours is 8. The company aims to produce
40 units of product per shift. Group the activities into optimal no. of stations using
RPW method and also compute the balancing efficiency.
