Preview Questions Industrial Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: When applying economic order quantity (EOQ) in system design, what primary variable is being optimized?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Production line layout for maximum throughput

Employee efficiency in material handling

Equipment maintenance intervals to reduce downtime

Inventory holding costs and order frequency

Question 2: How does "Heijunka" (Level Scheduling) support production efficiency and stability in lean manufacturing systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It tracks only overall product demand without optimizing production flow or reducing waste

Heijunka has no measurable impact on production time and focuses solely on reducing machine costs

Heijunka evens out production rates, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring smoother workflows

Heijunka increases system complexity by requiring frequent production adjustments and does not reduce waste

Question 3: How does a risk assessment help in identifying and mitigating safety hazards in the workplace, and what factors should be considered in the analysis?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

A risk assessment identifies potential hazards, their likelihood, and their severity, helping prioritize mitigation efforts to ensure a safer workplace

Risk assessments are only necessary for high-risk industries

Risk assessments should be conducted only when accidents occur

Risk assessments increase complexity without improving safety

Question 4: How does "process standardization" improve efficiency in manufacturing operations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Process standardization leads to reduced flexibility and hinders innovation

Standardization is irrelevant if the production environment is constantly changing

It only improves quality but does not affect speed or throughput

Standardizing processes ensures consistency, reduces errors, and allows for easier training of operators

Question 5: What is the purpose of hypothesis testing in data analysis?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To predict future data based on trends

To calculate the mean value of a data set

To determine if there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis

To identify the outliers in the data

Question 6: What role does management play in implementing and sustaining Lean Manufacturing initiatives, and how can they ensure continuous improvement?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Management provides the vision, resources, and support for Lean initiatives, ensuring that the principles are continuously applied and improved through employee involvement and performance monitoring

Management should delegate Lean implementation to floor workers without oversight

Management should only focus on financial metrics, not Lean principles

Management's role is limited to overseeing production schedules, not process improvement
