Activities and events are clearly shown
Early start and late finish of an activity are clearly marked
Activity times are clear
Interrelationship among activities is clearly shown.
Achieving optimisation
Ensuring against market fluctuations
Acceptable customer service at low capital investment in inventory
Discounts allowed in bulk purchase

Synthetic layout
Static product layout
None of these
An activity consumes time and resources whereas an event does not consume time or resources.
The performance of a specific task is called an activity.
An event is an instantaneous point in time at which an activity begins or ends.
The turning of a job on lathe is an event whereas job turned is an activity.
Total work content
Base time + relaxation time
Total work content + basic time
Total work content + delay contingency allowance

Highly skilled workers are needed
Unit costs are high
Operations are labour-intensive
All of these
Analysis of one stage of motion chart
Motion study, when seen on a time chart
Subdivision of an operation into therbligs and their analysis
Enlarged view of motion study
It represents a situation where extra resources are available and the completion of project is not delayed
It represents that a programme falls behind schedule and additional resources are required to complete the project in time
The activity is critical and any delay in its performance will delay the completion of whole project
All of the above
Large project
Major work
Minor work
All of these
Maximum slack
Minimum slack
Zero slack
Average slack

Whose output exceeds 67% efficiency
On the percentage of time saved
On the percentage of time worked
On the percentage of standard time
If the float is positive and the activity is delayed by a period equal to its total float, the completion of project in no delayed
If the float of an activity is negative, delay in its performance is bound to delay the completion of project
If the float of an activity is zero, the activity is critical and any delay in its performance will delay the whole project
All of the above
Job production
Batch production
Mass production
Any one of these
EF = ES + D
LS = LFD
LF = LS + D
All of the above

An activity of the project is denoted by an arrow on the net work
The tail of the arrow indicates the start of the activity
The head of the arrow indicates the end of the activity
The arrows are drawn (to scale from) left to right
That can't be analysed mathematically
Involving multistage queuing
To verify mathematical results
All of the above
By time study
From previous production records
From one's judgement
All of the above
