Sample ENADE Engenharia de Produção Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your ENADE Engenharia de Produção exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A production engineer is appointed as the technical manager (Responsável Técnico) for an industrial fabrication plant in Brazil. In accordance with Federal Law No. 5.194/1966 and CONFEA Resolution No. 1.025/2009, which administrative and legal procedure is mandatory prior to commencing any technical engineering service or manufacturing process supervision?
A.Submit a preliminary financial budget to the Regional Engineering Council (CREA) for fiscal approval.
B.Register the Technical Responsibility Note (Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica - ART) with the appropriate Regional Council (CREA).
C.Obtain an explicit exemption certificate from the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE).
D.Deposit a municipal operating guarantee bond with the local city hall (Prefeitura Municipal).
Explanation: Under Brazilian Law No. 5.194/1966 and CONFEA Resolution No. 1.025/2009, registering the Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica (ART) with CREA is legally mandatory before initiating any technical activity or assuming technical responsibility for an enterprise. The ART defines the legal scope of the professional's duties, confirms professional qualification, and establishes legal and civil liability for the technical work performed. Without an ART, the activity is classified as illegal practice of engineering.
2An assembly line workstation requires continuous manual lifting and positioning of steel subassemblies. According to Brazilian Regulatory Standard NR-17 (Ergonomia) and the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation, which ergonomic factor most directly decreases the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) when an operator lifts loads from floor level to chest height?
A.The Horizontal Multiplier (HM), because the horizontal distance remains unchanged during vertical travel.
B.The Vertical Travel Distance Multiplier (DM), because a larger vertical displacement between origin and destination increases biomechanical strain.
C.The Ambient Illuminance Multiplier (IM), because workstation lighting scales proportionally with muscular fatigue.
D.The Atmospheric Pressure Multiplier (PM), because standard barometric pressure alters spinal compression.
Explanation: In the NIOSH lifting equation incorporated into ergonomic evaluations under NR-17, the Distance Multiplier (DM) is defined as DM = 0.82 + (4.5 / D), where D is the vertical travel distance between the origin and destination of the lift (in cm). As the vertical distance D increases (such as lifting from floor level to chest height), the multiplier DM decreases (approaching minimum allowable bounds), thereby significantly reducing the overall Recommended Weight Limit (RWL = LC × HM × VM × DM × AM × FM × CM).
3A production engineer is redesigning the physical safety barriers of a high-speed mechanical stamping press. In compliance with NR-12 (Segurança no Trabalho em Máquinas e Equipamentos) and ABNT NBR ISO 13849-1, what is the mandatory functional characteristic of an interlocked movable guard (proteção móvel intertravada) with guard locking?
A.It must allow machine actuation as soon as the operator touches the handle, relying on warning sirens to alert nearby personnel.
B.It must remain locked in the closed position until the hazardous machine movement has completely ceased, preventing hazardous startup while open.
C.It must automatically deactivate all emergency stop circuits whenever maintenance personnel bypass the optical sensors.
D.It must operate exclusively on single-channel unmonitored electromechanical relays without positive opening contacts.
Explanation: Under NR-12 and ABNT NBR ISO 13849-1, an interlocked guard with guard locking (travamento) must keep the protective barrier locked shut until the hazardous mechanical motion has come to a complete stop. Furthermore, opening the guard must send a positive safety signal preventing machine startup until the guard is closed and the safety interlock circuit is reset. This prevents operator access to high-inertia moving parts during coast-down.
4An industrial manufacturing corporation adopts the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards to structure its corporate sustainability strategy. Which strategic decision best exemplifies the balanced integration of all three TBL dimensions (economic, environmental, and social)?
A.Maximizing quarterly dividend payouts by outsourcing hazardous waste disposal to uncertified informal contractors.
B.Implementing an energy-efficient solvent recovery system that eliminates toxic emissions, reduces raw material costs, and funds worker ergonomics training from the net operating savings.
C.Purchasing carbon offset credits exclusively to advertise carbon neutrality while continuing obsolete high-emission thermal cracking operations.
D.Replacing all human operators with robotic cells strictly to eliminate labor compliance obligations without retraining displaced personnel.
Explanation: The Triple Bottom Line framework (People, Planet, Profit) requires synchronous performance across social, environmental, and economic pillars. The closed-loop solvent recovery system reduces hazardous environmental emissions (Planet), lowers material procurement expenditures yielding economic gains (Profit), and reinvests savings into workforce safety and ergonomic development (People).
5Under the Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy (Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos - Federal Law No. 12.305/2010), manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of lubricating oils, batteries, and electronic products share statutory responsibility for:
A.Dumping post-consumer residues into licensed municipal sanitary landfills at municipal expense.
B.Establishing structured reverse logistics systems (sistemas de logística reversa) to ensure return, recycling, and environmentally sound final disposal.
C.Transferring all recycling liabilities directly to end consumers through mandatory point-of-sale disposal surcharges.
D.Exporting all hazardous post-industrial scrap to developing nations without secondary processing.
Explanation: Federal Law No. 12.305/2010 establishes the principle of shared responsibility for the product life cycle (responsabilidade compartilhada pelo ciclo de vida dos produtos). Specifically for products such as lubricating oils, batteries, electronics, tires, and agrochemical packaging, supply chain participants are legally mandated to implement reverse logistics systems independent of public municipal waste management services.
6A quality control engineer in an automotive parts plant discovers that a structural steering component has a fatigue failure rate exceeding safety limits under heavy vibration. The plant manager orders the shipment released to meet monthly revenue targets. In accordance with the CONFEA Code of Professional Ethics (Resolution No. 1.002/2002), what is the engineer's ethical duty?
A.Comply silently with the manager's directive because internal hierarchical subordination supersedes technical judgment.
B.Refuse to approve the defective shipment, document the non-compliance in technical reports, alert executive leadership, and notify competent authorities if public safety remains endangered.
C.Authorize the batch conditionally while privately advising friends not to purchase vehicles using that component batch.
D.Resign immediately without recording any written technical documentation to avoid personal involvement in legal disputes.
Explanation: Under the CONFEA Code of Ethics (Resolution No. 1.002/2002), safeguarding human life, public safety, and consumer welfare is the overarching duty of an engineer. A professional must refuse to sign off on or participate in operations that violate technical standards or endanger society, formalize technical objections in writing, and escalate to authorities if imminent hazards are unaddressed.
7In an industrial bottling plant, an operator is exposed to continuous sound pressure levels during an 8-hour workday as follows: 85 dBA for 2 hours (maximum allowable daily exposure = 8 hours), 90 dBA for 2 hours (maximum allowable daily exposure = 4 hours), and 95 dBA for 1 hour (maximum allowable daily exposure = 2 hours). During the remaining 3 hours, noise is negligible. According to NR-15 (Annex 1), what is the calculated daily noise dose (D) and does it exceed the regulatory exposure limit?
A.D = 0.75 (75%); does not exceed the limit.
B.D = 1.00 (100%); exactly matches the limit.
C.D = 1.25 (125%); exceeds the maximum allowable limit.
D.D = 1.50 (150%); exceeds the maximum allowable limit.
Explanation: According to NR-15 Annex 1, the total daily noise dose is calculated as D = (C1/T1) + (C2/T2) + ... + (Cn/Tn), where C is actual exposure time and T is maximum allowable exposure time at that level. Here, D = (2/8) + (2/4) + (1/2) = 0.25 + 0.50 + 0.50 = 1.25 (or 125%). Because D > 1.0 (100%), the daily exposure exceeds the statutory threshold, requiring engineering controls or mandatory hearing protection program implementation.
8A production engineering consultant is auditing procurement processes for a capital equipment expansion project. Under the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Act (Federal Law No. 12.846/2013 - Lei Anticorrupção), what is the legal nature of corporate liability for corrupt acts committed by company employees or third-party intermediaries against public administration?
A.Subjective liability, requiring prosecutors to prove explicit malicious intent (dolo) of the board of directors.
B.Strict liability (responsabilidade objetiva), holding legal entities administratively and civilly accountable regardless of proving corporate fault or willful intent.
C.Vicarious liability restricted solely to the physical contractor who delivered the bribe.
D.Complete corporate immunity provided the enterprise has a written code of conduct, irrespective of internal enforcement.
Explanation: Law No. 12.846/2013 establishes strict administrative and civil liability (responsabilidade objetiva) for legal entities engaging in corrupt practices against public administration. This means the enterprise is liable upon proof of the illicit act and causal link, without needing to prove intent (dolo) or negligence (culpa) by top management, emphasizing the critical importance of effective compliance programs.
9Under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, an industrial manufacturing plant classifies its greenhouse gas emissions into Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Which of the following emission sources is correctly classified as a Scope 2 emission?
A.Emissions from diesel fuel combustion in the company's internal industrial steam boilers.
B.Emissions associated with the generation of electricity purchased from the national interconnected grid and consumed by factory machinery.
C.Emissions resulting from international air travel by executive sales personnel.
D.Fugitive methane emissions from the company's on-site biological wastewater treatment plant.
Explanation: Scope 2 emissions account for indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating, or cooling consumed by the reporting company. Scope 1 encompasses direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (boilers, furnaces, company fleet, on-site effluent treatment). Scope 3 encompasses all other indirect emissions throughout the value chain (business travel, raw material extraction, end-of-life product disposal).
10In the context of Socio-Technical Systems and Industry 4.0 integration, what is the core tenet of Operator 4.0 human-machine symbiosis?
A.Completely replacing human workers with autonomous artificial intelligence to eliminate all human variability in manufacturing.
B.Augmenting human physical, sensory, and cognitive capabilities through wearable sensors, augmented reality, and collaborative robots (cobots).
C.Restricting shop-floor operators strictly to manual physical labor while isolating all data analytics in remote cloud servers.
D.Standardizing operator motions according to rigid Taylorist time-study rules without providing digital decision support.
Explanation: The Operator 4.0 concept within socio-technical systems focuses on human-centric manufacturing (Industry 5.0 / advanced Industry 4.0). Rather than rendering humans obsolete, it leverages cyber-physical systems, wearable devices, AR, and collaborative robotics to augment operators' physical and cognitive abilities, creating a resilient, flexible, and symbiotic work environment.

ENADE Engenharia de Produção Study Tips from Top Performers

1Read Portaria INEP nº 163 of 14 April 2026: it lists the 20 objetos de conhecimento that define the Componente Específico, and it replaced the pre-2026 guidance.
2Production engineering is the most calculation-dense of the ENADE engineering areas — rehearse MRP netting, ATP, line-balancing efficiency and kanban sizing until they are automatic.
3Know the operations research toolkit by name and by method: which technique solves which problem, plus the stopping rules for the Hungarian algorithm and branch-and-bound.
4Practise engineering economics with explicit factors: NPV, IRR, discounted payback interpolation, EUAW for unequal lives and after-tax cash flow with the depreciation tax shield.
5Distinguish relevant from sunk costs; special-order, make-or-buy and replacement questions all hinge on excluding unavoidable fixed overhead.
6Be exact on quality metrics: Cp versus Cpk, DPMO, RPN, OEE as the product of availability, performance and quality, and the EOQ property that ordering cost equals holding cost at the optimum.
7Do not neglect the 15-item Formação Geral block; it is not engineering-specific and draws on the transversal themes listed in Portaria INEP nº 154/2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official structure of the 2026 ENADE Engenharia de Produção exam?

Under Edital INEP nº 61/2026 and Portaria INEP nº 163/2026, the paper runs for 4 hours and contains 46 items: 15 Formação Geral multiple-choice questions common to every course in the cycle, plus a Componente Específico of 30 multiple-choice questions and 1 discursive question. The 2026 sitting is on 29 November 2026.

Is there a pass mark for ENADE?

No. ENADE produces no individual pass or fail. It is a mandatory curricular component, so a graduating student who is registered and fails to sit it cannot graduate, but the scores are used to build the course's Conceito Enade on a 1 to 5 scale and feed the CPC and IGC quality indicators for the programme and institution.

Who has to sit ENADE Engenharia de Produção?

Graduating (concluinte) students of Bacharelado em Engenharia de Produção whose institution registers them through the Sistema Enade. Entering (ingressante) students are no longer required to sit the paper but must complete the Questionário do Estudante Ingressante to stay in good standing.

Is there a fee to take ENADE?

No. ENADE is free for students. Registration is handled by the higher education institution (IES) through INEP's Sistema Enade, not by the student individually.

How does ENADE differ from CREA registration?

ENADE is an academic assessment run by INEP/MEC to measure course quality. Professional registration with the Conselho Regional de Engenharia e Agronomia (CREA/CONFEA) is the separate legal licence, obtained after graduation, that allows you to practise engineering in Brazil.

Do these practice questions match the official exam format?

Not exactly. The official exam is written and answered in Portuguese and includes a discursive item plus a broad Formação Geral block on transversal themes such as human rights, climate change and social inclusion. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation built from the official objetos de conhecimento; it is a study aid, not an official translation or a format simulation.
