Industrial Engineering Question Bank

This document contains 20 questions related to industrial engineering concepts such as process flow chart symbols, production planning and control, forecasting methods, plant layouts, line balancing, and facility location selection. Some questions ask to define key terms, differentiate between types of production systems, or provide examples to illustrate specific concepts. Others present numerical problems to solve related to sequencing jobs on machines, determining optimal line configurations, or evaluating location alternatives based on cost factors.
