Honda Motorcycle & Scooter Mechanical Engineer Interview Questions and Answers for Experienced

A two-stroke engine completes a power cycle in two strokes of the piston, while a four-stroke engine completes it in four strokes.

• Two-stroke engines have a simpler design and are lighter than four-stroke engines.

• Two-stroke engines have a higher power-to-weight ratio but lower fuel efficiency compared to four-stroke engines.

• Four-stroke engines have separate intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes, while two-stro...read more

A pictorial representation of a SI engine with valve opening, TDC, and BDC.

• SI engine stands for Spark Ignition engine, which is commonly used in gasoline-powered vehicles.

• Valve opening refers to the movement of the intake and exhaust valves to allow fuel-air mixture in and exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber.

• TDC (Top Dead Center) is the position of the piston at the extreme top of its stroke.

• BDC (Bottom Dead Ce...read more

I would improve the fuel efficiency of TVS motorcycles by implementing advanced engine technology.

• Implementing electronic fuel injection system for better fuel management

• Introducing hybrid technology for improved mileage

• Optimizing aerodynamics of the motorcycle for reduced drag

• Using lightweight materials for better fuel economy

I am a dedicated production engineer with a strong background in manufacturing processes and quality control.

• Graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering

• Experience working in a manufacturing plant for 3 years

• Proficient in CAD software for designing production layouts

Production is the process of creating goods or services, while manufacturing is a subset of production that involves the creation of physical goods.

• Production involves both goods and services, while manufacturing is limited to physical goods.

• Production is a broader term that includes manufacturing, while manufacturing is a subset of production.

• Manufacturing involves the use of machinery and tools to create physical goo...read more

Types of gears include spur, helical, bevel, worm, rack and pinion, and planetary gears.

• Spur gears have straight teeth and are used for low-speed applications.

• Helical gears have angled teeth and are used for high-speed applications.

• Bevel gears have cone-shaped teeth and are used for changing the direction of power transmission.

• Worm gears have a screw-like structure and are used for high reduction ratios.

• Rack and pinion...read more

Cycle time, Takt time, SBP, Indent, 7QC tools are important concepts in production engineering.

• Cycle time is the time taken to complete one cycle of an operation.

• Takt time is the time taken to produce one unit of a product to meet customer demand.

• SBP stands for Standardized work, Built-in quality, and Process improvement.

• Indent is a document used to order materials or services from suppliers.

• 7QC tools are a set of qual...read more

FOC stands for Field Oriented Control, FRDD stands for Frequency Response Double Differentiation, and FRDS stands for Frequency Response Double Summation.

• FOC is a control technique used in AC motor control systems to achieve high performance.

• FRDD is a mathematical technique used to analyze the frequency response of a system.

• FRDS is a mathematical technique used to analyze the frequency response of a system by summing t...read more

Poke yoke is a Japanese term for mistake-proofing. It is a technique used to prevent errors in manufacturing processes.

• Poke yoke involves designing a process or product in a way that makes it impossible to make a mistake.

• It can be achieved through the use of sensors, alarms, or physical barriers.

• Examples of poke yoke include car keys that can only be removed when the car is in park, or a phone charger that can only be ...read more

Types of audit include internal, external, financial, operational, and compliance audits.

• Internal audit: conducted by company employees to evaluate internal controls and processes

• External audit: conducted by independent auditors to provide an objective assessment of financial statements

• Financial audit: focuses on financial statements and accounting practices

• Operational audit: evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness ...read more
