exam 23 Engineering Concepts and Processes

Front

Three stages of the risk assessment process

Back

1. Identification of hazards. 2. Evaluation of the risks. 3. Implementation of control measures.

Front

Operation of a summing point in a control systems diagram

Back

- Adds or subtracts two or more input signals. - Produces an output that is their resultant algebraic sum.

Front

Three of the '8 wastes' of lean manufacturing

Back

1. Transportation 2. Inventory 3. Motion

Front

Two types of Continual Professional Development (CPD) for engineers

Back

1. Training/courses – Improves technical skills. 2. Industry placement – Gains experience from other engineers/businesses.

Front

Reasons for batch production over mass production

Back

1. Flexibility: Different parts can be made using the same machinery. 2. Material supply limitations: Avoids significant stock buildup when demand is uncertain.

Front

Purpose of exploded view drawings in engineering

Back

- Shows the relationship/order of assembly of parts, facilitating assembly/disassembly.

Front

Purposes of a flowchart drawing

Back

1. Displays process sequence using standard symbols.

Front

Environmental implications of waste products being sent to landfill

Back

1. Pollution: Toxic substances can leach into soil and waterways. 2. Land use: Requires more landfills, reducing natural habitats.

Front

Benefits of using total productive maintenance (TPM) in engineering

Back

1. Reduces unplanned downtime, improving production efficiency. 2. Enhances workplace safety by preventing unexpected failures.

Front

Health and safety considerations for replacing a conveyor belt system

Back

1. Safe isolation procedures: Prevents electric shocks from the motor power system. 2. Lockout/Tagout (LOTO): Ensures the conveyor is not operated during maintenance.
