Expert Preparation Tips
Operations Research (LP, Transportation, Assignment, PERT/CPM) is easy-scoring — master all standard algorithms
Metal Cutting (turning, milling, drilling) with tool life equations is predictable — practice Machining calculations
Quality Control (control charts, acceptance sampling, six sigma) is formula-heavy — prepare a reference sheet
Manufacturing processes (casting, forming, welding, metrology) need practical understanding alongside theory
