1. Concurrent Engineering deals with carrying out the following activities at the same time while
designing the product:
(a) Design and Sales
(b) Manufacturing and Sales
(c) Design and Re-engineering
(d) Design and Manufacturing

2. In Concurrent Development Model, early in project when communication activity has

completed its first iteration it exists in the
(a) awaiting changes state
(b) under development state
(c) done state
(d) none state

3. Which of the following is NOT correct?

(a) The marketing department are involved in collecting both internal and external sources of
information for concept generation.
(b) Reverse engineering involves taking apart competitors’ products to understand how they
are made.
(c) Market surveys, suggestions from customers and actions of competitors are all external
sources for concept generation.
(d) Ideas from research and development, suggestions from customer contact staff and actions
of competitors are all internal sources for concept generation.

4. Reverse engineering would be used in which part of the design process?

(a) Concept generation
(b) Preliminary design
(c) Screening
(d) Evaluation and improvement
(e) Prototyping and final design

5. Major sources of ideas for product development comes from

(a) internal sources
(b) external sources
(c) product lines extension
(d) both a and b
6. When new developed product concept is tested, next immediate step is to
(a) develop market strategy
(b) develop a testing technique
(c) develop intermediaries
(d) develop logistic network

7. Cellular manufacturing is an approach whereby production can be done in

(a) Small batches
(b) Medium batches
(c) Large batches
(d) Any of the above

8. In a simple and visual method of Cell design, the priorities in classifying may be in the order
(a) Rotational or non rotational – Material – Size – Shape
(b) Material – Rotational or non rotational – Size – Shape
(c) Size – Rotational or non rotational – Material – Shape
(d) Shape – Rotational or non rotational – Material – Size

9. The rapid prototyping process that uses a high-power laser to selectively solidify a liquid
photopolymer, layer by layer into the shape of the finished prototype is called:
(e) fused deposition modeling
(f) laminated object manufacturing
(g) selective laser sintering
(h) stereo lithography apparatus

10. The rapid prototyping process that selectively deposits a glue like binder onto a layer of dry
powder, layer by layer, which dries into a solid prototype is called:
(a) overall rapid prototyping process
(b) fused deposition modeling
(c) laminated object manufacturing
(d) 3-D ink jet prototyping
