INSY 3021 FINAL EXAM WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS | LATEST UPDATE { GRADED
A+}
Definition of Industrial Engineering - ✔✔The engineering discipline concerned
with integrating people, materials, information, and equipment into an efficient
system
What do IE's do? - ✔✔Figure out how to do things better. They engineer
processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. They work to
eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy and other commodities
Manufacturing - ✔✔the transformation of materials into items of greater value by
means of one or more processing and/or assembly operations, . . . The key point is
that manufacturing adds value to the material by changing its shape or properties,
or by combining it with other materials that have been similarly altered.
,Methods Engineering - ✔✔attempts to design optimal processes to produce value,
with processes involving humans and machines
Optimal - ✔✔lowest cost, highest quality, most reliable
Produce Value - ✔✔manufacture a product or service a customer
Humans and machines - ✔✔By selecting the sequences, tools, equipment,
systems, facilities
Motion & Time Study - ✔✔The systematic observation, analysis, and
measurement of the separate steps in the performance of a specific job for the
purpose of establishing a standard time for each performance, improving
procedures, and increasing productivity
Time Standards are based on the concept of __________ - ✔✔A Fair Day's Work
Standard Time - ✔✔The amount of work that can be produced by a qualified
employee when working at a normal pace and effectively utilizing their time where
work is not restricted by process limitations.
Throughout most of history, ____________ , a single worker, made products -
✔✔craftsman
,The factory system began to __________ - ✔✔divide the craftsmen's trades into
specialized tasks
Frederick Taylor - ✔✔Father of scientific Management.
- He proposed that the work of each employee be planned out by management in
advance
- Replaced rule-of-thumb work methods with methods based on a scientific study
of the tasks.
- Established proper work methods and provided tools
- Standard time determined for each job
- Matching employees to right job
- Providing the proper training
- Establishing incentives for work
- His theories were not widely accepted (conflict with management)
Scientific Management - ✔✔Need to take into account the socio-psychological
aspects of human behavior in organizations.
, The Gilbreths - ✔✔Studied body's motions when performing tasks to eliminate
wasteful motion & to determine the most efficient sequence:
- The Quest for the One Best Way
- Continuous Improvement
- The traditional brick laying method, involved unnecessary stooping, walking and
reaching . . . About 125 times per hour for brick and 125 times for mortar.
- Application of the Gilbreth system of motion analysis reduced the motions per
brick from 18 to 5 and increased the number of bricks laid per hour from 125 to
350.
Micro-motion Studies - ✔✔film an activity, replay and study it in slow motion to
analyze the movements
Cyclegraphic Studies - ✔✔attach a light to a certain body part and photograph it
as the individual performs a task, which produced a "trail" that marks how the
body part moved during the task
Therbligs - ✔✔18 kinds of elemental motions used in the study of motion
economy in the work place.
Effective:
