Interview Questions and Answers

The current company furnace brazing process involves using a conveyor belt with a specific speed to achieve a certain production output per hour.

• The current company uses a continuous belt furnace for brazing process.

• The conveyor belt speed is set at 5 feet per minute.

• The production output per hour is 200 units.

• The furnace brazing process involves heating the parts to a specific temperature and then cooling them in a controlled atmosphere.

Furnace brazing is a joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together using a filler metal that has a lower melting point than the base metals.

• Furnace brazing involves heating the metal parts in a furnace to a temperature above the melting point of the filler metal but below the melting point of the base metals.

• The filler metal is then drawn into the joint by capillary action, creating a strong bond between the metal parts.

4M Change is a method used in production engineering to identify and address the four main factors that can lead to process variations: Man, Machine, Material, and Method.

• 4M Change involves analyzing the impact of changes in manpower (Man), equipment (Machine), raw materials (Material), and processes (Method) on production outcomes.

• By considering these four factors, production engineers can make informed decisions to optimize processes and minimize variations.

• For example, if ...read more
