Question

A production in charge was given a sample of toy train. He was asked to produce similar other toy trains. Which control process would he have followed?

Answer 1

1. Setting Performance Standards: The sample toy train serves as the standard or benchmark. It defines the expected size, shape, color, design, and quality for the new toy trains.
2. Measuring Actual Performance: The production in charge supervises the toy trains being manufactured. He checks whether the produced items match the features of the original sample.
3. Comparing with Standards: Each toy train produced is compared with the sample to check for any deviations in quality, appearance, or functionality.
4. Analyzing Deviations: If the produced toys differ from the sample (e.g., wrong color or defective wheels), these differences are identified and investigated to find the cause.
5. Taking Corrective Action: The production team takes steps to fix the problem—such as adjusting machinery or training workers—to ensure future units match the sample accurately.
