‣ Quality Practices
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.

Example 7: If the miller indices of a plane are (3, 4, 6),
find intercepts on coordinate axes
Answer:
a3 Given that (h, k, l) = (3, 4, 6)
Intercepts are reciprocal of the miller indices
a2 (r, s, t) = (1/3, ¼, 1/5)
Crystallographic Planes:
a1 • Specified by miller indices as (h, k, l)
• Parallel planes have identical miller indices
(r, s, t) is represented as (u v w z) where
Procedure:
u = ⅓(2r-s)
v = ⅓(2s-r) • Find intercepts by planes on the axes (r, s, t)
w = - (u+v) • Reciprocals of these, miller indices (1/r, 1/s, 1/t)

Example 5: Convert [0 1 0] direction to the hexagonal If plane is
system • Parallel to an axis then intercept is ′∞′
Answer: • If plane passes through ‘origin’ then another
u = ⅓ (2 × 0 -1) = -⅓ parallel plane constructed within unit cell by
v = ⅓ (2 × 1 - 0) = ⅔ translating the original plane
w = - (⅔ - ⅓) = -⅓ • New origin must be established at the corner of
z=3 another unit cell
(u, v, w, z) = (-⅓, ⅔, ⅓, 0) = (1, 2, 1, 0) • All these numbers are changed to the set of
smallest integers and - ve sign represented by ‘bar’

• Control should be easily accessible and logically

avoid awkward movements
B A • Should be in conformity with anatomy of human

• Seat height ‘A’: suit to the work level
• Proper colors based on the usage and red buttons
• Seat depth ‘B’: to provide clearance
for the switches that require some attention
• Seat angle ‘C’: should be horizontal or sloping back
• Seat bank and angle ‘D’: should support the natural
curve of the spine
• Backrest ‘E’: should adjustable and also allow free
movement of the shoulders
• Chair seat should be padded unless it is for
temporary use
E.g.: Design of a ‘Hand grip’
• Design depends on the use of the hand grip
(application)
• To lift a heavy weight:
o Grip should allow user to wrap their fingers
fully round the grip
• Handles:
o Tool handles or door handles should have a
diameter of between 18 mm and 50 mm
o Best design allows maximum contact between
hand and the handle
• Handle designing points:
o Textured surface improves grip
o Guards and good handle shapes to prevent
slipping of hands

Inventory control(IC) is nothing but reduction of the

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

Why to control inventory? inventory

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
