    Work sampling is a study used to determine the percentage of time spent on various activities. It provides accurate estimates with fewer observations than other methods but is limited by the need to quickly record observations. Synthetic timing is used to start new production lines while PMTS is better for adding lines to meet increased demand. 5-point and 11-point averages are used in forecasting but have limitations in accuracy. Make-to-order systems can use recent order history for forecasting. JIT manufacturing is popular worldwide due to reduced waste and Kanban differs from JIT in its use of cards to signal needs between processes.

    ME 332 INDUSTRIAL ENGG - 6-3-2021 Time 10 to 12 Max Marks 20.

    Q-1 : What is work sampling ? What are the advantages & limitations of
    Work Sampling? (2)
    A work sampling study is required in a case where a factor occurs 30 %
    of the time. Relative accuracy acceptable is 10%. What is the number of
    observations required ? To improve accuracy to 5 % , how many
    observations are required? (3)

    Q-2 : Compare synthetic timing & PMTS. Briefly explain which can be used
    (i) to start a new line (ii) to add a new line to meet the increase in
    demand. (3)
    Explain, briefly, with a neat sketch how to extend observed time to
    allowed time. (2)
    Q-3 : In forecasting, explain the 5 -point & 11-point averages. What are
    their limitations? (3) What
    can be done in make-to- order systems for forecasting.? (2)

    Q-4 : Briefly explain JIT manufacturing. What are the reasons for their
    World- wide popularity? How is it different from Kanban? (5)
