Hours: 03 hours Max. Marks: 100

Part A
1. Fill up the blanks
a. SAM = (Observed time X ) + Allowances
b. SAM/No. of Operations = Time
c. Operator = Operator Performance x Operator Utilisation
d. Difference between Potential capacity and capacity for a certain period of
time is called Available Capacity.
e. Inventory consists of list of the people in section, which shows their
expected performance.
f. If WIP increases in a production system then the throughput time .
g. An effective supervisor will spend more than half of his time in activity
h. Waiting for work is an example for Standard Time
i. In production planning, consists of assigning the ‘who’ to planning and
executing the what, where and when. (routing/controlling)
j. Toyota Sewing System (TSS) can be classified under production system
k. In operation breakdown layout inspection is indicated by the symbol
l. Capacity is measured in .
m. SAM includes Personal, and Delay allowances for calculations
n. is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of
completing in a given period of time.
1 X 14=14
2. Mark True/False
a. Lesser the deviation of allotted operation timings from pitch time, better the
balancing.
b. Floaters can be allocated to any specific operation in any line plan.
c. Assembly line in mass production is basically an example of a process layout
d. Efficiency is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of
completing in a given period of time.
e. Bigger the bundle size , higher the throughput time .
f. When WIP is more , throughput time increases.
g. Productivity always increases if the production increases.
h. GSD stands for General Sewing Data.
i. Mass production, borne out of the assembly line concept, is flexible enough to
introduce substantial variety in to products.
1X9=9

Progressive bundle system.

2 X 10 = 20
Part D

6. Calculate the efficiency, performance and utilization for each operator (In answer write the
name of the operator against that write performance, Utilization & Efficiency)

7. A Garment manufacturing unit need to produce 8000 garments in 5 days (working minute
available per day per person are 480 min).
Absenteeism is 8% and utilisation is 85%.
Total labour content of the product is 20 standard minutes.
Predicted performance of the operators and floaters are 90% and 65% respectively.
Calculate:
a. Required hourly production rate.
b. Total manpower required.
c. How many floaters will be needed?
d. How many operators will be needed, under the same conditions, to execute the
order?
2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 10
