This set of Industrial Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Recording Techniques”.
1. What is the other name for the operation process chart?
a) Outline process chart
b) Flow process chart
c) Two hand process chart
d) Travel chart
View Answer
Explanation: Motion study uses various recording techniques viz., charts, diagrams, layout models.
There are various types of charts, namely, outline process chart or operation process chart, flow process chart, two hand process chart, travel chart and multiple activity chart.
2. Which of the following method study symbols are used in operation charts?
a) 
and 
b) 
and
c) and
d) D and
View Answer
Explanation: Operation process chart which is also known as the outline process chart uses two method study symbols only. They are operation and inspection represented as
and respectively.3. Which of following operation process charts is correct for the task ’Changing refill of a ballpoint pen’?
a)
b)
c)
d)
View Answer
Explanation: According to the description mentioned for each process chart, activity representing the operation should be represented by a circle and inspection by a square. Only one chart in the above matches this requirement. It is as follows:
4. Which among the following process chart give information regarding the distance moved during ‘transportation’ activity in the method study?
a) Flow process chart
b) Operation process chart
c) Two hand process chart
d) Multiple activity chart
View Answer
Explanation: There are various types of process chart. Among all process chart, flow process chart records the information regarding the distance moved and time required for different activities such as transportation, operation, inspection and delay.
5. Which of the following process chart is also known as operator activity chart?
a) Flow process chart
b) Operation process chart
c) Two hand process chart
d) Multiple activity chart
View Answer
Explanation: Two hand process chart records the activities of both left and right hand of an operator. The activities of the two hands are synchronized by the use of a time scale.
6. How many types of flow process chart are there?
a) Two
b) Three
c) Four
d) Six
View Answer
Explanation: There are three types of flow process chart. They are as follows:
i. Man type flow process chart
ii. Equipment type flow process chart
iii. Material type flow process chart
7. Which of the following recording techniques marks the path or movement of workers and materials in the method study?
a) Flow diagram
b) Operation process chart
c) Two hand process chart
d) Multiple activity chart
View Answer
Explanation: Avoiding unnecessary and repetitive movement of workers and materials can result in the reduction of cost and efforts in manufacturing the product. Hence, a flow diagram is used to record the path and movements of men and materials.
8. When a string diagram is preferred overflow diagram?
a) More movement of men and material
b) Less movement of men and material
c) For a new process
d) When more simple operations are involved
View Answer
Explanation: When more movement of men and material is involved, more paths are generated. This makes the flow process congested and clumsy. Hence, string diagram is preferred over flow diagram.
9. Which of the following method study recording techniques mark every machine and equipment in the production shop?
a) Flow diagram
b) Operation process chart
c) Two hand process chart
d) String diagram
View Answer
Explanation: String diagram is a method study recording technique used to trace the path of movement of men and material in the shop. It is used when more number of movements are involved. It marks every machine and equipment in the shop and uses a continuous string thread to mark the movements.
10. Which of the following clearly indicates back tracking, over and under-utilized paths in the shop floor?
a) Flow diagram
b) Operation process chart
c) Two hand process chart
d) String diagram
View Answer
Explanation: String diagram is used when more number of movements are involved. It marks every machine and equipment in the shop and uses a continuous string thread to mark the movements. It clearly indicates back tracking, over and under-utilized paths in the shop floor.
