Read the following passage and answer the question. A company manufacture radio and supply them to dealers all over the country. Their production target was 5000 radio per week. It was fixed by the manager that deviation in production upto 100 units is acceptable. At the end of first week, the production was 4500. The next week production increased to 4700 radio. A week later, only 4600 radio were produced. On investigation it was found that fluctuation in the production was due to irregularity in electricity. |
Suggest from the following, a corrective action that could be appropriate to overcome the ongoing problem. |
Repair of the machine Replace of the existing machine Undertake technological upgradation of machine None of these |
None of these |
The correct answer is option 4- None of these. None of these can be the corrective action as there is no relation of machine with the ongoing problem. To overcome the ongoing problem of irregular electricity supply affecting production, a possible corrective action could be installing backup generators or alternative power sources. This would ensure that production continues smoothly even during electricity fluctuations, minimizing downtime and maintaining consistency in production. Other potential corrective actions might include Scheduling production during times when electricity supply is more reliable and Coordinating with the electricity supplier to improve the reliability of the power supply. But installing backup power systems is a direct and effective solution to address the issue immediately. |
