Officer Production

Supervising a manufacturing process includes attending to the individual phases of the production. Also, manufacturing supervisor should have a close eye on the inventory that going to be used.

☛ Step 1: Keep the records of different phases of manufacturing also analyse whether the amount of product produced by the crew is enough to meet the demand

☛ Step 2: Look for the bottlenecks in the unit and see how you can eliminate it

☛ Step 3: Keep the track of inventory and try to reduce the liquid capital used after unused material

☛ Step 4: Examine the final goods to determine whether they meet the company’s quality standards.

4 jaw chuck:

☛ Work pieces cannot be set for eccentric turning

☛ Mainly used to hold circular, oval jobs.

☛ Depth of cut given is comparatively less.

☛ Less gripping power

☛ 3 jaws cannot be adjusted individually

☛ Setting up of work is easy

3 jaw chuck:

☛ Work pieces can be set for eccentric turning.

☛ Used to hold circular, oval jobs, rectangle and square jobs

☛ More depth of cut can be given.

☛ More gripping power

☛ 4 jaws can be adjust individually.

☛ Difficult.

☛ What’s your experience with lean manufacturing?

☛ Are you good in using computers?

☛ What kind of equipment do you experience with?

☛ How many people did you supervise in your last job?

☛ How would you teach your team to respect company policy and regulations?

☛ What would you do if, by the end of the day, there were products in the daily batch that weren’t up to standard?

☛ If you saw employees weren’t using protective equipment, how would you handle it?

☛ Imagine two of your subordinates have a rivalry that affects their performance. What do you do?

☛ How do you handle undisciplined or disruptive employees?

☛ Tell me about a time you made a production process more efficient

☛ Recall a time you managed to build an effective team

☛ Give me an example of a subordinate who didn’t perform as well as you expected. What should you have done?

☛ Describe a time you had to make a difficult/unpopular decision. How did you ensure it was followed through?

☛ Tell me about how you met production goals in your previous job

Everyone should learn from his or her mistakes. I always try to consult my mistakes with my kith and kin especially with those senior to me.

I enrolled myself into a course useful for the next version of our current project. I attended seminars on personal development and managerial skills improvement.

For QA in manufacturing techniques used are

☛ Acceptance sampling: In this testing, a random sample is picked from the batch rather than testing the whole batch.

☛ Statistical process control: Through the use of control charts and data collected for the samples at the various stages of production a manufacturing product can be monitored

☛ Troubleshooting studies: At the end of the line product, a trouble-shooting study can be carried out to see whether the changes in the inputs are associated with the output variables.

Cast iron:

☛ Cast iron is a hard grey metal.

☛ Cast iron is cheaper than steel

☛ CI has a low melting point with the ability to mold easily.

☛ Cast iron is used for making manhole covers, piping and guttering.

Steel:

☛ Steel is an alloy or iron

☛ Costlier.

☛ Steel is mild and harder to cast, and loses viscosity.

☛ Steel is fabricated to make tools, structures, knives etc.

This question is testing your contemporary industry knowledge. If you have prepared before the interview then you should be able to make some good points here. Try to keep a positive spin but be realistic about the prospects for manufacturing in the UK. Try and find some information of a government or EU grant that has been used to subsidize the manufacturing industry, but acknowledge the difficulties faced by the manufacturing industry caused by cheap labour abroad. Perhaps highlight a possible niche in artisan and high quality manufacturing in Britain.

This question needs to be carefully answered as it is your opportunity to stick out from the rest of the applicants. You should focus on skills that you have, including those not yet mentioned. Simply responding “because I’m really good” or “I really need a job” isn’t going to work. You shouldn’t assume the skills of other applicants or their strengths, focus on yourself. Tell the interviewer why you are a good fit for the position, what makes you a good employee, and what you can provide the company. Keep it brief while highlighting achievements.

DCR stands for Document Change Request, a change request which addresses about a problem with a document, SOP (standard operating procedure) or specification and propose a change to fix it.

Vernier Caliper:

LC = (Value of 1 Main Scale Division) / (Total number of vernier scale divisions)

In most of the Vernier Caliper’s, LC= 0.1 mm = [1mm / 10 divisions]

Screw Gauge:

Least count = (Value of 1 pitch scale reading)/ (Total number of head scale divisions)

In most of the Screw Gauge’s, LC= [1mm / 100 divisions] = 0.01 mm

Explained it. (never forget to give the directional arrow sign for any mechanical cycle. mind it. That is a test too)

Main challenge in manufacturing is to develop better production processes, ensure the right material and component supplies at the least cost, decrease production time, eliminate wastage and maintain quality in the final product.

This is the part where you link your skills, experience, education and your personality to the job itself. This is why you need to be familiar with the kob description as well as the company you will be working for.

It is possible that you may not have as much skills, experience and qualifications as the other candidates.

So what will set you apart from the other candidates? Energy and passion will.

Clients are attracted to someone who will show immense and can show that they love what they do. Be sure to portray yourself as motivated, confident and ready to commit to the company.

Explained riser as a checking process to confirm the molten metal has filled the cavity or not.but interviewer didnot agree indicating me for any other reason.closed my eye and took 5 sec and explained.

riser works as a backup reservior of molten metal when the cavity metal volume shrinks due to solidification.

This question is like a loaded gun, tricky and dangerous if you’re not sure what you are doing. It’s not uncommon for people to end up talking salary before really selling their skills, but knowledge is power as this is a negotiation after all. Again, this is an area where doing your research will be helpful as you will have an understanding of average salary.

One approach is asking the interviewer about the salary range, but to avoid the question entirely, you can respond that money isn’t a key factor and you’re goal is to advance in your career. However, if you have a minimum figure in mind and you believe you’re able to get it, you may find it worth trying.
