Question 1: When performing routine maintenance on equipment, how do you ensure minimal disruption to production?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By waiting for a failure to occur and responding reactively

By reducing preventive maintenance activities to save time

By scheduling maintenance during off-peak hours, using predictive maintenance tools, and minimizing downtime

By performing maintenance during peak production times

Question 2: How do you address issues with a variable frequency drive (VFD) malfunction in a motor control system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By ignoring the VFD settings and focusing on the motor

By replacing the VFD without further analysis

By increasing the motor speed to overcome the issue

By checking the VFD parameters, verifying motor load, and inspecting electrical connections

Question 3: Which process control method is best suited for systems with large variations in setpoints and unpredictable disturbances?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Adaptive Control

Dead-Time Compensation

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control

Model-Based Predictive Control

Question 4: What is the significance of using Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in process improvement?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It identifies and visualizes areas where waste can be reduced and value can be added in the process flow

It only highlights areas where production speed can be increased

It focuses solely on reducing labor costs without improving process flow

It helps identify the most expensive parts of the process and reduces them

Question 5: When troubleshooting a PLC-controlled process, what is the most effective method for verifying whether the PLC logic is functioning correctly?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Analyze the logic using online simulation

Compare inputs and outputs for consistency

Check for wiring issues

Perform a software reset

Question 6: What is the key to identifying issues with an automated material handling system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By ignoring feedback systems and replacing only visible parts

By reviewing system diagnostics, checking sensors for calibration, and ensuring proper communication between components

By replacing the entire system without checking individual components

By assuming the system will work correctly after a restart
