Questions Answered Correctly.
What is industrial and systems engineering? correct answers Industrial and systems engineering
is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people,
materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in
the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of
engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from
such systems.
When was Industrial Engineering born? correct answers The late nineteenth century, industrial
engineering is a dynamic profession whose growth has been fueled by the challenges and
demands of manufacturing, government, and service organizations throughout the twentieth
century.
What is Human activity systems engineering? correct answers a distinct field began in the mills
and the factories, where its applicability was most immediately obvious and where it acquired
the name "industrial engineering."
What are the two levels Industrial systems are designed at? correct answers 1. Human Activity
Systems - which is concerned with the physical workplace at which human activity occurs. In
general, human activity systems are not really designed, they simply evolve.
2. Management Control Systems - which is concerned with procedures for planning, measuring
and controlling all activities within the organization.
Human activity system within an organization includes the following elements: correct answers
1.The manufacturing process or the procedure of a service organization
2.Materials, machines and equipment to be used
3.Methods by which the worker performs a task
4.Facilities layout and material flow
5.Material handling equipment and procedures
6.Workplace design
7.Storage space size and location
8.Data recording procedures for management reporting
9.Maintenance procedures
10.Safety procedures
Management control system within an organization consists of the following elements: correct
answers 1.Management planning system
2.Forecasting procedures
3.Budgeting and economic analyses
4.Operations management systems
5.Quality control systems
6.Resource allocation
, 7.Overall information systems
8.Corrective action procedures
9.Organization design
Who is considered the first contributor towards the modern industrial engineering movement?
correct answers Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856 - 1915)
Who is Frederick Winslow Taylor? correct answers -Taylor is called the father of scientific
management
his book :"Shop Management and The Principle of Scientific Management"
-In his early industrial experience, there were piece rates at that time; that is, people were paid so
much for each piece upon which they worked in an operation.
-But the standards were based on historical data and were nearly always set far below the
capacity of the individual.
Rarely were workers required to perform as rapidly as possible, although they were required to
work many more hours than we are accustomed to be working today
What was Taylor's classic experiment? correct answers His classic experiments in shoveling
coal, which he initiated at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1898, not only resulted in
development of standards and methods for carrying out this task, but also led to the creation of
tool and storage rooms as service departments, the development of inventory and ordering
systems, the creation of personnel departments for worker selection, the creation of training
departments to instruct workers in the standard methods, recognition of the importance of the
layout of manufacturing facilities to ensure minimum movement of people and materials, the
creation of departments for organizing and planning production, and the development of
incentive payment systems to reward those workers able to exceed standard outputs.
What is Taylor's system? correct answers The core of Taylor's system consisted of breaking
down the production process into its component parts and improving the efficiency of each.
Paying little attention to rules of thumb and standard practices, he honed manual tasks to
maximum efficiency by examining each component separately and eliminating all false, slow,
and useless movements.
Who are Frank Bunker Gilbreth & Lillian Moller Gilbreth? correct answers -Frank Gilbreth's
application of the scientific method to the laying of bricks produced results that were as
revolutionary as those of Taylor's shoveling experiment.
-Lillian published The Psychology of Management in 1914 based on her doctoral thesis in
psychology
What is motion economy? correct answers A set of rules and suggestions to improve the manual
work in manufacturing and reduce fatigue and unnecessary movements by the worker, which can
lead to the reduction in the work-related trauma.
