ESE General Studies Video Lecture Theory Booklet

When Adapala Academy (IES GS) started video lectures for the ESE General
Studies and Engineering Aptitude, we realised the necessity of the theory
booklets in consonance with the lectures. These booklets contain the topics,
that are covered in the video lectures in detailed and lucid manner, with
appropriate examples. We believe in quality, rather than the quantity of the
materials that are flooding the market irrespective of the exam requirement.
Chandra Sekhar Adapala (IISc, IES)
Topics covered in these books are apt and are oriented for the exam
preparation.

These books are divided into two volumes, together covering seven out of ten topics of the ESE prelims
(Environment and Energy, Information and Communication Technologies, Engineering Ethics, Project
Management, Quality Practice, Design, Drawing and Safety, Engineering Drawing). Separate Practice question
booklet (consisting of 5000+ questions) by Adapala Academy will give enough practice for the theory covered
in these materials.
Subjects covered in this (Booklet-2) are
1. Engineering Materials Science
2. Engineering Design, Drawing and Safety
3. Quality Practices

For the current affairs, download the monthly and yearly Hyperloops from www.iesgeneralstudies.com and
follow the Academy for the video lectures on the same.

The efforts of Anueeja S and other faculty members, to make this book possible, are appreciated.

“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of
all, love of what you are doing or learning to do”. – Pele

Wishing you Happy Learning,

2. Statistical Quality Control


Quality is what customer wants o Poor raw material supplied by new supplier
• So industrial engineer and operations manager • These variations are sporadic (uncommon),
tries to meet customer needs both in product and uncontrollable, assignable and specific
services • In such case, the process is called ‘out of control’
• SQC is one of the seven QC tools in the TQM Chance variations causes about 85% of the problems in
Statistical Quality Control mainly deals with the the process and assignable variations account about

Shewhart in Bell labs How to reduce them:
Chance variables:
• Reduced by changing the process, can be done
through management efforts
o E.g.: Better procurement of materials
Product process
o Better training to operators
o controlled environment to arrest any
environmental changes
Assignable variables:
In this SQC, we mainly deals with 3 sections • Controlling the process with proper identification
• Process control & rectification of causes
• Quality assurance /Acceptance plan • Workers responsibility - because they work close to

4. Inventory Control
1. Introduction 2. Inventory stages
Inventory control(IC) is nothing but reduction of the
back end wastages for manufacturing.
Inventory: Any resource that contain value and can be
used in later time (when needed).
a. Stock of goods Supplie Plant Warehouse Customer
• Raw materials e.g.:- steel for car company r
Conflicting Goals of inventory:
• Semi-finished goods eg:- tyre, rim, etc 1.a) Purchasing Department:
• Finished goods, e.g.:- cars, vehicles for exporting • They do bulk purchase which increases inventories
b. Manpower 1.b) Finance Department:
• Recruitment in service industries • They oppose bulk purchases to reduce inventories
Role of IC in quality control • They try to reduce expenditure
Inventory is needed 2.a) Production department:
• Not only in manufacturing but also in the other • They want few steps or maximum production at
fields like services. E.g.: Software company one go that results in more inventory
recruiting more people anticipating more projects; 2.b) Control Department:-
House wife keeping stock of food items. • They want less WIP (work in progress) which
• To meet anticipated demand. Because customers reduces inventory
behaviour is not predictable and inventory serve as 3.a) Sales Department:
a buffer to the anticipated demand. • They want to meet demand
• To guard against stock-out situation • More inventory is needed to meet customer
• To ensure smooth flow of production. Because satisfaction
customer satisfaction depends on timely 3.b) Warehouse Department:
availability of the product. • They opposes more production to decrease
Why to control inventory? inventory
Poor management plan result in more expense due to Diagrammatically these all conflicts can be illustrated
costs of as:-
• Warehouse, land
• Employees
• Maintenance like corrosion etc
Due to above, inventories increase cost of
manufacturing and our main aim is to achieve zero
inventory. So inventory should be controlled.
• Any form of inventory is a sign of inefficiency
• It speaks about failure of the planning or
mismanagement
• Inventory control is a direct saving in operational
cost
E.g.: maintaining facilities (stocking facilities)
The level of inventory may be reduced by 3. Different Costs in Inventory Control
• Better planning and control Inventory costs depends on
• Continuous monitoring of stock • Time
• Reliable venders • Quantity of procurement
• Just-in time concepts 1) Unit cost of inventory
Cost incurred in inventory are • Price paid to supplier for procuring one unit of the
• Cost incurred in periodic checking inventory
• Depreciation of the materials • But this is irrelevant as it is neither dependent on
• Chances of theft and losses in store time nor quantity of order
• But if the discount on bulk purchase is available,
unit cost of inventory reduces
2) Ordering cost(Co) or Set up cost
• Cost associated with placement of an order for
acquisition of inventories

9. Inspection and Auditing


1. Introduction to Inspection 2. Inspection at Different Stages
Why quality control? In any industry the stages can be divided into three
Manufacturing process is a stages – Input, Conversion Process and Outputs.
• Repetitive process INPUTS CONVERSION OUTPUTS
• The defects will be inevitable depending on both RAW MATERIAL, PRODUCTION PRODUCT AND

SUPPLIES
o Non - controllable factors.
This produces deviation in the quality of the product.

on HP or an apex on HP.
6. Solid with Axis Inclined to Both the RPs
Methods of drawing the projections of solids
Two methods
1. Change of position method - the solids are placed
first in the simple position and then tilted successively
in two or three stages to obtain the final position.
2. Auxiliary plane method (Change of reference-line
method) – the solids are placed initially in the simple
position and then one or two auxiliary planes are setup
to obtain the views in the required position.
Example 1:
A cube of 30 mm side rests with one of its edges on HP
such that one of the square faces containing that edge
is inclined at 30o to HP and the edge on which it rests
being inclined to 60o to VP. Draw its projections.
Answer:
step 1: first keep the cube in such a way that its axis is
perpendicular to the horizontal plane and one of its
side is parallel to the hinge line
step 2: rotate the front view such a way that one of its
side make an angle 30o with the horizontal plane. Draw
the corresponding projections in both front and top
views
step 3: Now rotate the top view of the projection until
the axis makes an angle 60o with the vertical plane
Now draw the final projections in both front and top
views that represents the final position of the cube.
