9) a) Draw a flow chart to explain the procedure to schedule ‘n’ jobs on two
machines: Ans: The following are the ten steps involved to schedule ‘n’ jobs on
two machines: Step 1) Prepare list of the jobs to be processed on the two
machines. Step 2) Estimate processing time for each job on each machine. Step 3)
Construct a job array, called sequencing matrix. To construct the matrix the jobs
to be processed are recorded row head wise, the machines to be employed to process
the jobs are recorded column head wise and the processing time of each job is
recorded against the under the respective machine. Step 4) Scan the job array and
identify the smallest processing time. Step 5) If the smallest time appears: On
the first machine, A, assign the corresponding jobs as close to the beginning of
the job sequence as possible. ii. On the second machine, schedule the
corresponding job as close to the end of the job sequence as possible. iii. If
there is a tie of minima for both machines i.e., if the smallest element occurs on
both machines, (one minimal element on each machine), select among the tied up
jobs the one with the smallest time on the first machine and schedule it as early
in the job sequence as possible. iv. If the tie of the minima occurs among the
elements of the first machine, select among the tied up jobs the one with the
smallest time on the second machine and schedule it as early in the job sequence
as possible. v. If the tie for the minima occurs among the elements in the second
machine, select among the tied up jobs the one with the smallest time on the first
machine and schedule it as late in the sequence as possible. Step 6) Delete from
the array the jobs scheduled and its corresponding processing times. Step 7)
Repeat steps 4, 5, 6 and 7 for remaining processing times, placing the jobs next
to first or next to last until all jobs are scheduled. Step 8) Calculate the total
elapsed time to process all jobs through the two machines. Step 9) Calculate the
idle time for machines A and B. i.

b) Five jobs A, B, C, D and E are required to be processed on two machines M1 and
M2. Each job has to be processed on machine M1 and then on machine M2. The order
of the completion of jobs has no significance. The processing time hours for five
jobs on the two machines is as under: Job Machine Machine #1 Machine #2 A 4 5 B 17
7 C 14 12 D 9 2 E 11 6
Ans: The smallest time in the job array is 2 hours and it appears for the first
stage. The corresponding job D therefore is scheduled last and its entry is made
in the last cell of the sequencing bar. D Delete the corresponding job schedule
leaves us 4 jobs in the array. The next smallest time is 4 hrs and it occurs on
the job A which is present in the sequence of Machine #1. Therefore the entry is
made in the first cell of the sequencing bar. A D
Deleting the job schedule leaves us with 3 more entries in the array. The next
smallest time is 6 and is present in the job E, which is present in the sequence
of Machine #2. Therefore the entry is made in the last but one cell of the bar. A
E D
Deleting the job schedule leaves us with 2 more entries in the array. The next
smallest time is 7 and is present in the job B, which is present in the sequence
of Machine #2. Therefore the entry is made in the 3rd cell of the bar. A B E D
Since the last job is left unscheduled, it is therefore placed in the empty cell:
Therefore the optimum sequence, therefore is A, C, B, E & D A C B E D
2. What is Production Planning and Control? What are its key functions? How does
PPC contribute to the two basic objectives namely “long term growth of business”
and “Profit of the company”? Ans: Introduction: Production Planning is a
centralized activity (normally conducted in the office) and includes such
functions as order preparation, material control, process planning, tools control
and scheduling. Production control, on the contrary, a diffused activity (usually
conducted in the shops) and includes such functions as dispatching, progressing
and expediting. Functions of Production Planning & Control: Control Functions 1)
Order Preparation includes activities like making of work orders, converting work
orders into shop orders, preparing auxiliary orders, and releasing such orders to
shops to authorize manufacturing activity. 2) Materials control concerns
preparation of materials estimates indenting non-stick materials, ascertaining
availability of materials purchased to stock, continual follow-up with purchase
and store for timely receipt of materials, advising store to allocate required
quantities of available materials (alternatively on their receipt) against
specific shop orders. 3) Processing Planning or Routing concerns fixation of
method of manufacture operations and their sequence, machine tools for each
operation, jigs and fixtures, measuring instruments and gauges etc to enable shops
to produce goods of the right quality at the lowest cost. 4) Tools Controls
concerns preparation of estimates of cutting tools (Standard as well as non-
standard tools), gauges and measuring instruments including jigs & fixtures,
indenting non-stock tooling, follow-up with tool room for timely manufacture of
jigs & fixtures, periodical replenishment of wornout-non-consumable tooling (e.g.
work aborts, collets, copying masters, Allen keys, spanners. etc.) Optional
Functions 1. Cost Estimation concerns preparation of pre-production cost estimates
to be used by sales department for quotation purposes. (Alternatively this
function may be assigned to costing department or industrial engineering dept) 2.
Work Measurement concerns fixation of time to be allowed to a qualified workman to
carryout a specified task, under specified conditions and at the defined level of
performance. Work measurement employs scientific, well-known techniques like time
study, analytical estimating etc (Alternatively, work measurement work may be
assigned to industrial engineering dept.) 3. Sub Contract concerns off-loading of
work on outside vendors for economic reasons or to augment existing manufacturing
facilities. Sub-contract work alternatively may be handled by Materials/Purchase
Dept. 4. Capacity Planning concerns estimation of requirements of men and machines
as the basics of decision making to meet the firm’s increased volume of business
(Some companies prefer to assign this function to engineering dept)
5) Scheduling concerns preparation of machine loads, fixation of calendar dates of
various operations to be performed on a job, coordination with sales to confirm
delivery dates of new items and periodical preparation of dispatch schedules or
regular items. 6) Dispatching concerns preparation and distribution of shop orders
and manufacturing instructions to be concerned department as their authority to
perform the work according to the predetermined schedule. 7) Progressing concerns
collection of data from manufacturing shops, recording of progress of work, and
comparing progress against the plan. 8) Expediting concerns intensive progress
chasing to identify delays and interruptions which may hold up production,
devising cures from time to time to keep rate of production in line with the
schedule communicating possible failure in delivery commitments to sales
department.
b) Long term Growth of business and Profit of the Company: Long term growth of
business and profitability are the two basic objectives of an organization. For
long term growth, the company must have enough orders and for enough orders it
must have large number of satisfied customers. Five essentials to achieve
customers’ satisfaction are: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Timely delivery Advance communication
in case of expected late shipments Short lead time in emergency Consistent and
good quality of products Competitive price.

STATUS OF THE PPC DEPARTMENT IN THE COMPANY: The status of PPC department in the
company depends upon the company’s manufacturing processes. If the work is highly
repetitive and the number of workmen is not very large, the work of planning may
be performed directly by the line staff, there being thus no formal PPC department
in the company. And in manufacturing units where plant and machinery is laid out
as per sequence of operations and there is little difference in machine capacity
for different products, the PPC may be sub-division of the manufacturing
department. In firms, where either the product variety is very large or where
machine capacities are different for different products, or where plant and
machinery is laid out as per function in different departments not related to each
other, PPC should be set up as an independent department with the head of the
department responsible to the managing director, General manager, or works
manager, depending upon the magnitude and complexity of the planning functions and
the size of the firm. DEGREE OF CENTRALISATION: Degree of centralization implies
extent to which planning activities are performed by PPC. Two systems in general
are available: i) ii) Centralized Planning where the functions of production
planning is controlled centrally by staff specialist (s). Decentralized Planning
where planning is carried out by line executiveforemen-who direct normal work in
their respective departments.
Both types of planning, centralized as well as decentralized planning, have their
relative advantages and disadvantages, the centralized planning takes away the
burden of planning from the line staff thus leaving free to handle men and
machines more effectively. Decentralized planning gives line staff sense of
participation and opportunity to use their experience but it takes away lot of
their valuable time in performing planning functions The trend today is towards
the blend of “Centralized” and “Decentralized” system, called semi-centralized
planning. It combines the merits of both the systems and it especially gives
better results in a large industrial complex. Under semi-centralized planning, the
scheduling of operations within the pre-fixed period and allotment of work to men
and machines is done by line staff while overall coordination of materials
ordering, sub-contract work planning, progressing and follow-up, capacity planning
man power planning, maintenance planning etc, is done centrally by the staff
specialists. THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE PPC DEPARTMENT Internal structure
implies the functions to be assigned to PPC which depends on the nature of
industry the size of the company and the management policies. Different companies
assign different functions to the PPC department. It is common practice to assign
following functions to PPC department: i) ii) iii) iv) Order Preparation.
Materials Control Tools Control Process planning v) vi) vii) viii) Scheduling
Dispatching Progressing Expediting.
Few companies assign following four areas to PPC department: i) Cost Estimation
iii) Sub-Contracting ii) Work Measurement iv) Capacity planning The functions
actually to be assigned depend on the size of the company. This aspect also
considers assigning of various functions of production control to different cells
which again depends on the size of the company. In a medium or large sized
industry there may be following important cells in PPC department: i) ii) iii) iv)
v) Materials Control Cell Tools Control Cell Process Planning Cell Scheduling Cell

6) (a) “Data given on the process sheet can be put to lot many uses in the
organization” Discuss. Ans: Introduction: Process planning is the process of
establishing the shortest and most economical path that each part is to follow
from the point it is received as raw materials until it leaves as furnished part
or a finished product. Process planning indicates operations to be performed and
their sequence; specified the machine tool for each indicated operation; shows the
necessary tooling (jigs and fixtures, cutting tools, cams and templates, measuring
instruments, and gauges) for each indicated operation; gives manufacturing data
such as speeds and feeds; sometimes the specifications of the skill for each
operation. The document which incorporates this vital information is called
process sheet or route sheet. Text: The information contained in the process sheet
can be put to a variety of uses: (i) Scheduling: The scheduling cell of PPC can
obtain for each operation the set-up and the processing time. This information
helps them to prepare load and schedule charts (ii) Materials Movement: The Shop
supervisor and the dispatch clerk can know where the jobs require to be sent for
the next operation.
(iii) Cost Reduction and Cost Control: A process sheet gives an idea of the
tooling (standard tools, jigs and fixtures, templates, gauges and measuring
instruments) which could be arranged prior to the starting of the operation. This
cuts down setup time and reduces labour cost and overheads. (iv)Costing: Costing
group can use the information to determine pre and post production cost of each
component. (v) Method of Working: Method study engineer without going on the shop
floor can know as to how presently the part is being manufactured. (vi)Requirement
of manpower and machines: Set up times and processing times given in different
route sheets may be consolidated machine wise into total manhours or machine-hours
required to enable the management to take decisions concerning requirements of
manpower and machines. (vii) Shop efficiency: Operation wise time data given in
the process sheet is also helpful to the shop personnel to know whether the shop
performance is in line with the expected performance. (b) A Small pump shaft is to
be manufactured from a round bar on four machines in a workshop. It is first cut
to length on a power hack-saw which can produce 12 pieces per hour. The cut pieces
are then “faced to length” and “centered” on a special facing and centering
machine. Once this machine is set-up (taking 30 minutes), the operator can
complete 30 pieces per hour. Faced and centered pieces are next moved to the
copying lathe. It takes 45 minutes to set up the copying lathe and 3 minutes to
turn each piece. The final operation is cutting of the keyways on a special
purpose key-way milling machine. It takes 8.50 minutes to cut hey-way on each
piece. 8.0 minutes are required to set-up the hack-saw and 10 minutes to set-up
the key-way milling machines. After cutting the key-ways the parts are debarred
and inspected. Draw up a process sheet for the manufacture of this part. Though
tooling and gauges do not require to be indicated yet their relative position on
the process sheet should be shown. Sol:

7 (a) Why is it necessary to record the progress of work? What different methods
are available to collect information? Ans: Introduction: Progressing is the
process of checking actual performance against the production plan and reporting
exceptional deviations to the concerned authorities for the corrective action.
Progressing function consists in keeping a watch on flow of materials, recognition
of delays and interruptions, taking steps to rush up the remaining operations and
communicating possible delays to the customer (wherever necessary) It is sometimes
argued that progressing is only a substitute for poor planning. Should a driver
take his hands off the steering wheel because the road is straight? Should a pilot
divert his attention from the control board because the weather is fine? No! They
can’t do this, similarly, progressing is required even if the material control and
process planning functions are discharged satisfactorily, scheduling is done
properly, manufacturing orders are released. There are usually a number of factors
which tend to push the schedules off the mark. Some of the notable ones are as
under: Delay in receipt of material from vendor(s) Excessive
absenteeism (more than the normal) Machines breakdowns Excessive spoilage Errors
in drawings Strikes and acts of Gods.
The need for progressing is also created when the customers do the follow up on
their own to know the status of their orders.
Methods to collect information: (i) Physical Count (ii) Daily production report
(iii) Job Card (iv) Perforated route sheet (v) Detachable sheet (b) Explain with a
diagram any two methods to collect data on progress of work. Ans: Daily Production
Report: It is prepared by the supervisor, this is another method of obtaining
feedback. A daily production report contains fixed space to record:
Operator’s Name and Token number Machine on which he worked Time spend
Quantity produced Quantity checked by the patrolling inspector Results of the
inspection Idle time and its reasons.
This report may be prepared either by the shop supervisor or the patrolling
inspector and is collected at the end of the shift or the next day by the progress
clerk of the PPC department. This method is best suited for large workshop having
a process type of layout producing number of non-standard parts.

Perforated route sheet: It is a useful method of production feed back/collecting
data on progress of work. The route sheet for each job carries part number,
product or assembly number it is in, list of operations to be performed, and the
necessary information. The route sheet is handed over to the supervisor or is tied
to the product. As soon as each operation is completed, the operator or the
supervisor signs the lower portion of the route sheet, detaches it, and returns to
the progress section for their analysis. This method is suitable for tool rooms,
jobbing shops or workshops producing one or few numbers of a component.

Fig: Perforated route sheet for manufacture of a thread roll 10 (a) What are the
steps involved in solving an assignment problem. Ans: Introduction: Hungarian
method is the most efficient method for solving an assignment problem involving
minimum objective. Though its standard procedure is for balanced problems,
minimization problem, free from restrictive, but it can be applied to even special
situations by adopting additional steps.
Basic Principles: The Hungarian method is based on the following properties: (i)
If a constant element is added or subtracted from every element of any row or
column in the given cost matrix, an assignment that minimizes the total cost in
the original matrix also minimizes the total cost in the revised matrix. (ii) In
an assignment matrix, solution having zero total cost is the optimal solution.
Assumptions: (i) Each facility is capable of performing each task (ii) Tasks
differ in their work contents and facility in their capabilities (iii)Only one
task can be assigned to each facility (iv)As only one task can be assigned to each
facility, the assignment matrix must be of n x n size. (In case the matrix is not
square, dummy rows or columns, equal to the difference, are added). Procedural
steps to solve standard assignment problems: A standard assignment problem is a
balanced assignment problem (i.e., number of tasks equal number of facilities),
incorporates no restriction in allocation and involved minimization objective,
Hungarian method to solve such problem requires following steps: Step 1: Express
the problem into n x n assignment matrix Step 2: Select the smallest element in
each row and subtract it from every element of that row. Step 3: Select the
smallest element in each column of the reduced matrix obtained from step 2 and
subtract it from every element of that column. Step 4: Cover all zero elements by
minimum number of straight lines (horizontal and vertical lines only). If the
number of lines drawn is equal to n(number of rows/columns), the solution is
optimal and proceed to Step 7. if the number of lines drawn is smaller than n, go
to step 5. Step 5: Select the smallest uncovered element (i.e., smallest element
not covered by the lines), subtract it from all uncovered elements including
itself, and add it to the elements covered twice (i.e. elements located at the
intersection of any two lines), and reproduce other elements (i.e. elements
through which only one line passes) as they are. Step 6: Repeat steps 4 and 5
until an optimal solution is obtained.
Step 7: Given the optimal solution make the job assignments as follows: (a)
Examine the rows one by one starting with the first row until a row with an
exclusive zero (i.e. row with exactly one zero) is found. Mark the zero by
enclosing it in a square indicating assignment of the task to the facility. Cross
out all zeroes (if any) in the column as they cannot be used to make other
assignments. (b) Examine next the columns for any mutual exclusive zero and mark
each as above, crossing out the remaining zeroes in that row. (c) Repeat steps (a)
and (b) successfully until either of the following conditions occur: i. All zeros
have been marked / crossed and each row contains one marked zero. This means that
the optimal solution has reached. ii. All zeros have not been marked / crossed.
The remaining unmarked zeros lie at least two in each row and column. This means
that more than one optimal solution exists. (b) A drawing office incharge has four
tasks and equal number of draught men. His estimate of time for each job – draught
men combination is given (in hours) in the following matrix: Draughtmen Processing
time (Hours) Jobs J1 J2 J3 J4 D1 25 35 25 30 D2 25 20 15 10 D3 20 15 20 25 D4 15
20 18 20
Find out the optimal assignment. Sol: Step1: “Express the problem into n x n
assignment matrix”. This step has already done in the case problem. Step2.
“Subtract the smallest element in each row from every element in its row so as to
obtain atleast one zero in each row.” 15, 15, 15 & 10 are the smallest in 1 , 2 ,
3 and 4 rows respectively. Subtraction of the smallest element in the row from
every element in its row gives rise to an assignment matrix shown in the following
table.
st nd rd th
Connect all zeros in the assignment matrix obtained in step 3 by minimum number of
straight lines. Min 4 straight lines are required to connect all zeros. Step 4.
(a) “Examine the rows one by one, starting with the first row until with an
exclusive zero (i.e. row with exactly one zero) is found. Mark the zero by
enclosing it in a square indicating assignment of the task to the facility. Cross
out all zeros in the same column as they cannot be used to make other assignments.
(b) Examine next the columns for any mutual exclusive zero and mark each as above,
crossing the remaining zeros in that row. Here… 1) Row J1 has two exclusive zeros
which occur at Junction J1 D1 and J1 D4 hence the allocation of task J1 is
postponed for the time being. 2) Row J2 has 1 exclusive zero which occurs at
junction J2 D3 hence Job J2 is assigned to D3. 3) Row J3 has two exclusive zeros
which occur at Junction J3 D1 and J3 D2 hence the allocation of task J1 is
postponed for the time being. 4) Row J4 has 1 exclusive zero which occurs at
junction J4 D2 hence Job J2 is assigned to D2. 5) With the allocation of J2 and J4
we have 2 jobs left out unassigned. Looking at the matrix again, we see that the
Under J3 there are 2 zeros out of which the position D2 is already assigned to J4
and cannot be reassigned to J1 as this is a
mutual exclusive zero assignment matrix. So the only position left out is J3D1.
Hence the job J3 is assigned to D1. 6) With the allocation of Job J3 to D1 we are
left out with J1. Considering the exclusive assignment matrix. The Job J1 can only
be assigned to D4. Hence J1D4. So the Optimal assignment matrix is the following
Jobs J1 J2 J3 J4
11 (a) what is critical ratio scheduling? What advantages does this technique have
over other technique? Ans: Introduction: Critical ratio scheduling is a technique
for establishing and maintaining priorities among the jobs-be it in a production
control department for the purpose of scheduling or expending in a purchase
department for the purpose of “Purchase order follow up” or in any other
department of the company. The technique utilities concept of ratios called
Critical ratios which provide time relationship between when a
product/part/material is required and when it can be made available/supplied.
Definition: A Critical ratio in its simplest form, may be stated as the ration of
“time when a product is required“to the “time when the product can be supplied”.
I.e. Critical Ratio = For E.g., Critical Ratio = The Product is required in 20
days. The product can be made available in 10 days = 2. Time when a product is
required Time when the product can be supplied
A critical ratio of 2 implies that the time available to deliver the product is
twice the time required to manufacture the product, similarly, a critical ratio of
½ will mean that the time available to deliver the product is half of the time
required to manufacture the product. This also suggests that the processing time
must be reduced to half of the normal expected time otherwise the product will not
be delivered on time. Interpretation of critical ratios: Critical ratios have the
following significance: A critical ratio of (i) (ii) (iii) Greater than one means
that there is sufficient time and job can be completed ahead of the schedule.
Equal to one implies that job is just on schedule and requires to be closely
watched. Less than one suggests that the job is critical and needs to be expedited
to complete it on schedule.
In general, the smaller the critical ratio, the more critical the job is from
delivery point of view. Advantages: This technique of critical ratio scheduling
helps to: Determine the relative job priorities for scheduling. Make
automatic adjustment in the shop schedule when there are changes in demand and job
progress. Reduce dependence on expeditors since a properly designed critical
ratio system, coupled with necessary progress reporting, identifies critical jobs.
Compare both stock and made to order jobs on a common basis. Prevent crises
in scheduling of production Exercise control by exception. Critical ratio
scheduling, when applied to activities of production control department helps in
establishing and maintaining priorities among the jobs and when applied to
purchase follow up on pending orders. The technique helps to identify
components/parts/ materials which require expediting of their pending quantities
from their suppliers.
The technique utilizes the concept of ratios called critical ratios which provide
a time relationship between a product / part /material is required and when it can
be made available / supplied.
(b) Write few typical critical ratios and explain what they signify? Ans: 1) A
total of 20 work orders completed over last one quarter were analyzed and
following data on ineffective timer per operation (days) was obtained: 2.0 0.8 3.2
4.9 Calculate (i) (ii) The average time per operation the component stayed on the
shop floor due to waiting queuing, hunting, job splitting, change in priorities,
power failure, machine break down etc. What total lead time should be considered
for component with the following details? 300 no.s 12 hrs 18 min 5 80 % 2.5 1.20
5.80 2.06 6.0 3.5 3.4 1.6 3.0 2.7 4.9 0.6 2.8 1.8 2.3 0.9
Batch quantity = Total set up time = Total processing time = No. of operations =
Average labour efficiency = against performance standards
N.B: The Company works two shifts per day, each shift of 8 hrs duration. Sol: (a)
Expected ineffective time per operation is EIT = N ∑ 1 X i, P(Xi)

(b) Total Lead time is given by the formula TLT Where, P W = = = = = = Order
preparation time = 7 days (assumed) Expected value of ineffective time per
operation x No. of Operations 2.60 x 5 13 days Transit time between operations x

S.No 1 2 3 4
Calculate critical ratio for each of the items and decide on the action to be
taken. Sol: Critical Ratio = Lead time available (LTA) Lead time required (LTR)
For made to stock items LTA LTR = = = (Stock on hand) – (Safety stock) Average
daily consumption Lead time required to the complete remaining operations This has
been given in the problem
Critical ratios for above items have been calculated in the table below:
S.No
Critical ratio

=8 = 12 = 11 = 11
4 15 10 30
From the above critical ratios, we can conclude that progress of item (i) (ii)
(iii) (iv) At serial 1 is more than satisfactory. The item is likely to get
completed on time and not much of attention is required to be paid to it. At
serial 2 is unsatisfactory. The item has become critical either because its
consumption has risen above its average or the job has been delayed. In any case,
its progress must be accelerated to avoid potential stock out. At serial 3 is just
satisfactory. The item needs to be closely monitored At serial 4 is extremely
critical. Every possible avenue should be explored to expedite the remaining
operations.
12 (a) What are make or buy decisions? What costs are considered while finding the
cost to make and cost to buy? Ans: Introduction: Make or buy decisions generally
concern items required to the company’s own design. No firm can manufacture each
and every item of its product. It is neither possible nor desirable. Items which
do not form the company’s product line are always purchased from outside. An
automobile firm for example requires to purchase raw materials, forgings,
castings, tyres, tubes, bulbs, wires, bearings, automotive wheels, etc, from
others. Similarly, an engineering firm needs to buy grinding wheels, oils and
greases; tools etc., since the manufacture of these items require totally a
different manufacturing process. Items which require specialized technical
knowledge or procurement of special equipment are generally sub-contracted. A
small firm for example normally gets its items heat-treated, surface coated (zinc
plating, or galvanizing, or phosphating) from outside to get benefit of low price.
The exclusion of the above categories of items leaves the firm with items which
require to be manufactured to its design either at the home plant or to be
purchased from outside
suppliers. The decision whether to make the item at the home plant or buy it from
outside vendors is referred to as “make-or-buy” decision. Costs to be considered
while making a make or buy decision: Cost analysis refers to the determination of
cost to make the item and cost to buy it. A complete and correct assessment of the
various elements of the cost is essential to make sound economic decisions. The
following data needs to be collected and analysed. Particulars Raw materials
Landed cost of the item being cub-contracted Weight of raw materials/
Casting/forgings Weight of finished component Present utilization of company’s
facilities Methods of manufacture (Route sheet) Set up times and operational times

Lowered morale: A department plagues by rush orders, broken deliveries, uneven
work loads, frequent revisions in process, costly overtime, excessive machine
breakdowns and the like can hardly be expected to have good morale. An integrated
approach to production, planning and control can go a long way to eliminate or
atleast minimize the occurrences of the above mentioned losses. Certainly
production, planning and control is the nerve center of a production unit.

1) What are the basics steps in the problem solving process? Explain them briefly.
Ans: INTRODUCTION: Systematic problem solving provides a structured approach to
problem solving. Depending upon the nature of problem (i.e. maintenance or
improvement problem), some steps may be different. SOLVING A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM:
Maintenance problems as mentioned earlier, surface when the status quo is
distributed and decision make needs to recommend/take measures to restore and
maintain the status quo. Fig: Steps to solve a maintenance problem.
Identify a maintenance problem
Monitor effect
No
End (a) Diagnose (define) the problem: Sound diagnosis is the crucial step in the
problem solving process. Defining the problem sets the boundaries for that
follows. Decision maker, like a doctor, must take into account all symptoms before
prescribing the medicines (i.e. recommending the decision). Peter Drucker rightly
states, “The books and articles on leadership are full of advice on how to make
fast, forceful and useful decisions, but there is no more foolish and no more time
wasting advice than to decide quickly what a problem really is. Defining the
problem in most instances is a time-consuming task, but it is time well spent.”
Sound diagnosis requires (i) (ii) (iii) Measurement of the gap between the desired
performance and the actual performance. Identification of the root cause for the
gap. Identification of the restraints in the decision making process.
(b) Secure and analyse pertinent facts: Once the problem has been diagnosed
(defined), the next step is to collect data. Data collection implies collecting
background material, pertinent facts, decision taken in the past and their
outcome, previous solutions to similar problems etc. General rules are: (i) (ii)
(iii) The information should be collected from the most reliable source. All
relevant facts, regardless of how disorganized or unrelated they seem at the time
of data gathering, should be recorded. The information should be subjected to
checks and cross checks. The conflicting data must be resolved. The temptation to
accept first response to inquiries should be avoided. The facts wherever possible
should be supported by tangible evidence in the form of copies of the appropriate
documents. Facts when cannot be supported by documentary evidence (i.e. facts
which are bases on opinion of the individuals) should carry the names of the
contributors so that they (individuals) can be contacted later if required.
(iv)
Facts are next analysed to establish: (i) (ii) (iii) The length of time to which
the decision should apply. Effect of the decision on other functional areas.
Qualitative considerations to take overall view of the business.
(c) Develop alternative solutions: This step concerns looking for the possible
solutions and listing them down. Most common sources of collecting and listing of
alternatives include experience, superiors, juniors, consultants, research,
creativity, brain storming, critical examination, literature etc. It is also the
most important step and therefore good amount of time, effort and money should be
spent /invested to get good alternative solutions.
Generally, for every problem, alternative solutions exist and efforts need to put
to unearth these alternatives. Usually, a brain storming or interaction session
with those, concerned with the problem can highlight several alternatives. For
example, the company was considering purchase of a CNC machine. The general
manager held a series of brain storming session of his engineers and following
alternatives got identified: (a) continue to make the part by present method, or
(b) buy the proposed CNC machine, or (c) buy a machine other than the proposed
one, or (d) improvise the current method of making part (e.g retrofitting the
existing machine improves tooling and gauging method etc.), or (e) subcontract CNC
– compatible operations to a good quality vendor, or (f) discontinue manufacturing
the part at company’s own plant and buy the part from an outside source. After
evaluating all the alternatives for their merits and demerits, the general manager
opted for alternatives ‘d’, ‘e’ and ‘f’ and got the best results. (d) Evaluate
alternatives: Once all the alternative solutions have been enumerated, they are
next evaluated. This is usually done by testing each alternative against a set of
objectives or specified criteria which the solution must meet. The steps involved
are: (i) Each alternative is analysed to see whether or not it meets the “must”
objectives. An alternative which does not meet the “must” objective is immediately
removed from further study. Alternatives which meet the “must” objectives are next
checked for “want” objectives and those which are good in terms of “want”
objectives are examined for adverse consequences. Since each alternative usually
entails some risk, the decision maker next assesses the risk, the probability of
risk, the probability or risk, and /or seriousness of the risk. Every attempt is
made to eliminate or minimize risk (or disadvantages). T chart analysis is usually
helpful. Alternatives are next weighed for their effectiveness by identifying
their long term and short term consequences. The advantages of the alternatives
are quantified in terms of common denominator, usually the money.

2. (a) What is “Cause and effect” diagram? How is it useful in analyzing a
problem? How is it constructed? Ans: INTRODUCTION: Every organization has
contributory causes. The causes need to be identified to eliminate problems or
minimize the effect of the problems. All causes including probable causes (i.e.
which have not occurred earlier) should be identified so that preventive action
can be taken (After all, prevention is better than cure) After the causes have
been identified, they should be put into a systematic form that facilitates
presentation and analysis. Cause and effect diagram is also called as “Ishikawa
Diagram” or a fishbone diagram (due to its shape) – an effective tool for
diagnosis to a problem – was developed by Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa, a professor of Tokyo
University. The diagram lists out in a classified and systematic manner all causes
which are responsible for the problem (called effect). The diagram consists of a
main line to represent the actual problem and few lines to represent the major
causes – materials, men, methods and machines – and horizontal or slanting arrows
to represent sub-causes und relying each main cause. Procedure: Step1 : Specify
the problem to be solved For eg: (i) Accidents (ii) Process defectives (iii)
Employer – employee relations (iv) Delayed delivery (v) Defective bills (vi)
Labour efficiency Step2: Brain storm to find all possible causes of the problem.
Step3: Organize/ arrange these causes in few major themes (i.e. rational
categories) Step4: Construct a cause and effect diagram that accurately displays
the relationship of all data in each category. Steps in the construction of the
diagram are as follows: (a) Draw a box on the far right hand side of a large sheet
of paper and write inside the box the description of the problem to be solved.
Also draw a thick arrow that points to the box and look up on this as a main trunk
of a tree. Problem
(b) Enter the titles of the categories (also called themes) above and below the
horizontal line and connect them to horizontal line by vertical or standing
arrows. Think of these as branches of the main truck of the tree. Man Machine
Problem Method Materials
(c) Enter the detailed cause data for each category / theme by arrows meeting the
horizontal or slanting lines (i.e. lines representing the main theme). Look upon
these as limbs or twigs of the branches.

3. a) What is Pie-Chart? How is it constructed? Ans: INTRODUCTION: Pie chart is
also called an angular diagram. It is the graph of percentage breakdown of data.
Steps in Construction of a PIE CHART: i. ii. Express value of each category of
component group as a percentage of total of all categories or components or
groups. Calculate degree of the angle formed by each category/component/group as
under Degree of particular category iii. iv. v. vi. Value of the group X 360 Total
Value Draw a circle of a suitable diameter (say diameter of 3”) Segment the circle
into angles calculated in step 2 with the help of a protractor Shade or color
different segments suitable to make distinction between different categories.
Enter the percentage of each category in to the pie chart. =

o To assign roles to members and to guide them for effective contribution towards
the achievement of goals. o To ensure participation and involvement of all members
in the activities of the circle. o To ensure records and liaison with other
agencies to obtain help in solving the problem o To catalyse attitudinal changes
in his own and other related areas. o To make management presentations o To take
sincere interest individually by active involvement in the progress of quality
circle movement. o To endeavour to promote quality circles as a way of life in the
organization. iv. Members: Members form hard core of the quality circles; Members
are selected on “purely voluntarily basis” and are from the same or similar
functional areas. The group should basically be small, between 8 to 10 members.
The members should have adequate education and experience in the concerned field
and should have the ability to express clearly and freely. Co-ordinator: In a
large manufacturing organization, some agency – usually Quality Assurance – is
required to co-ordinate the activities of the quality circles. The responsibility
of the coordinating department includes: o Rendering assistance as request by
circles o Disseminating literature relating to circle activities elsewhere o
Organizing training programmes o Publishing newsletter to communicate circle
activities o Providing circles with necessary facilities for the meeting o
Organizing social get-together for circle members and senior executives

5-S (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke) are considered in Japan the
basics of any job. 5-S principles have been practiced in Japan the basics of any
job. 5-S principles have been practiced in Japan to establish and maintain quality
environment in the organization. Japanese managements are of the view that if the
housekeeping in a plant is weak, no further diagnosis is needed to know as to why
that plant produces poor quality products. 5-S technique has been defined as – “A
systematic and rational approach to work place organization and methodical
housekeeping with a sense of purpose”
Japanese Seiri
English Structurise
Meaning Sorting
How to apply it to the work place? Classify items into necessary and unnecessary,
retain only those which are required and dispose off others. (i.e. those not
needed) Store things systematically to ensure safety, quality and efficiency.
Storage methods must permit efficient use of space-accident free stage, long shelf
and easy retrievability of items within pre-fixed target retrieval time. Maintain
work place free of dirt/ dust and garbage by fixing individuals’ cleaning
responsibility. Maintain cleanliness through Seiri, Seiton and Seiso by ensuring
transparency and uniformly of everything that is done in the organization. Make a
habit of doing things the way they are supposed to be done (i.e. developing habit
of following rules/ practices) including 5-S practices.

Step-by-step reduction of set-up time 8 a) What is meaning of MUDA? What are the
various types of MUDAS? Ans: Introduction: MUDA is a Japanese word for waste and
waste means anything (or any activity) which does not add value to the product. o
A worker looking, even though affectionately, at an automatic machine does not add
any value while machine does (MUDA of Waiting) o A maintenance engineer who walks
over a long distance with tool in his hand, does not add any value (value is added
when he uses the tool to fix the machine) ( MUDA of Transport) o Piles of material
lying in racks in the stores don’t add any value but add to cost (MUDA of Stock) o
A material handler while pushing a heavy trolley full of parts, even though
perspiring, adds no value (MUDA of Transport) o An assembly operator,
overstretching his hand to pick up parts for assembly, adds no value but causes
fatigue to himself (MUDA of Motion) o A welding operation, performed to join metal
parts of assembly constituent, does add value but the welding operation performed
to repair weld a blowhole in job is a non-value added activity (MUDA of
Processing) Waste (MUDA) is the major element of company’s product cost and must
be continually identified and eliminated from its processes to stay competitive.
Since labour cost is hardly 8-10% of total cost (which also is on the decline due
to recent advances in manufacturing technologies), we also need to look at various
other hidden wastages, besides human waste, to improve productivity.
Types of MUDA: There are seven types of MUDA in manufacturing: 1. MUDA of Over
Production. 2. MUDA of Stock (inventory) 3. MUDA of Waiting 4. MUDA of Transport
5. MUDA of Defects 6. MUDA of Motion 7. MUDA of Processing b) What Causes MUDA of
“Motions”? How can it be eliminated? Ans: Introduction: A workman while performing
a task makes use of a number of motions. The scrutiny of these motions may reveal
that some of these motions – o Are unnecessary and can be eliminated o Can be
combined / modified by changing their sequence o Can be simplified by effecting
changes in work bench layout o Can be performed efficiently by other members of
the body. In the absence of the above mentioned actions, the workman makes motions
which don’t add any value. Typical examples are – o o o o o Walking to reach
objects/ parts. Tools Lifting or carrying objects Picking up and putting down a
work piece Transferring objects from one hand to another Searching to find the
required object
While dealing with MUDA of motion it is recommended to get rid of operations that
are difficult dirty and / or dangerous (3D’s). such actions include – o o o o Work
that makes and employee move over long distances Work that causes physical strain
(i.e. use of undue physical effort) Work that causes mental strain (e.g. work that
needs memorizing lot of details) Work that involves search or unnecessary sorting.

9.a) What is Kaizen? What are different types of Kaizen? Ans: Introduction: Kaizen
is a combination of two Japanese words, “Kai” and “Zen”, Kai means “to change or
modify” and Zen means “to improve or make better” and together they translate as
“improvement”. Kaizen when used in the context of a management process, has come
to mean as continual and slow improvement in every aspect of management (i.e.
improvement in whatever company does and the way it does things) through the
active involvement of all company’s employees. Kaizen does not just merely mean
doing things better but it is an unending process to eliminate muda, improve
quality, cost and delivery, thereby creating more and more customers. Few
Definitions: Kaizen is a management supported, employee driven process, where
employees seek development of their own capabilities by challenging existing
system and finding improvement in them R.R. Asawa & Dr. D. R. Baheti Kaizen is a
program, a philosophy and a strategy to improve quality of goods and services or
an organization Samuel KHO
Kaizen means making a great number of continuous lasting improvements by
discovering small problems and eliminating them permanently (attacking root causes
of the problems) thereby helping the organization in setting and reaching higher
standards of performance. Surindra Narang The Spirit of kaizen is that whatever
you are doing, you can do better. Kaizen thus helps in setting and reaching higher
standards of performance. The word “Kaizen” was used for the first time by Maasaki
Imai, who wrote a look of same name. although a registered name of Kaizen
Institute, the work is now widely used and understood all over the world to mean
“continuous improvement”. The word “Kaizen” also now appears in the English
dictionary. Recently, Imai has elaborated on Kaizen in his book titled “Gemba
Kaizen” Types of Kaizen: Kaizen depending upon the complexity and level, can be
placed into one of three categories 1) Management Kaizen 2) Group Kaizen 3)
Individual Kaizen 1) Management oriented Kaizen: Concentrates on strategic issues
and often involves people from different departments working together on cross-
functional problems as project teams. Typical examples of management oriented
Kaizen are: Identification and elimination of waste in workers
motions Charges in plant layout for better efficienvy Reduction in buffer stocks
Just-in-time production System improvement
Improvement in jigs and fixtures Reduction in defect level Customer service and
customer complaints Improvements in working environment.
b) Discuss in brief the Kaizen process and its steps. Ans: Introduction: Kaizen
process provides a disciplined and analytical approach, sometimes called the
kaizen story to problems solving. It consists of a series of sequential steps that
can be used to guide a group (say an improvement team) for the process of
identifying and fixing problems. The Kaizen story (or Kaizen process) is built on
PDCA mnemonic – Plan, Do, Check and Act. The Kaizen process is a seven step basic
procedure which allows any individual or team to solve problems scientifically,
rationally, effectively and efficiently. These seven steps are – 1. Defining the
problem 2. Understanding/ assessing the current status 3. Finding the root cause.
4. Planning counter measures 5. Implementing counter measure 6. Verifying results
7. Standardising and establishing control. A brief of each of the steps in the
Kaizen process is given. Fig: Problem definition phase
