Sample EGEL Plus Ingeniería Industrial Practice Questions
Try these sample questions to review concepts for the EGEL Plus Ingeniería Industrial exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.
1An industrial engineer conducts a time study on a metal-stamping operation. The observed average cycle time is 2.40 minutes, the operator's performance rating is evaluated at 110% (1.10), and the total allowance factor for personal needs, basic fatigue, and unavoidable delays is 15% (0.15). What is the standard time (Ts) for this operation in minutes?
2A manual assembly line comprises six distinct tasks with a combined total work content of 18.0 minutes. The line is configured with four sequential workstations, and line pacing is restricted by the bottleneck workstation, which has a cycle time of 5.0 minutes. What is the line balancing efficiency (E)?
3An automotive subassembly plant operates an 8-hour shift (480 minutes) with two scheduled 15-minute unpaid breaks, leaving 450 minutes of net available production time. Customer demand is established at 900 finished units per shift. What is the takt time required to synchronize production with customer demand?
4In motion study and micromotion analysis developed by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, fundamental hand motions are classified into Therbligs. Which of the following Therbligs is classified as an ineffective (non-productive) motion that adds no value to the workpiece and should be eliminated through workplace redesign?
5A work analyst uses the Westinghouse rating system to level an observed cycle time of 1.50 minutes. The operator's performance is graded as follows: Skill B1 (+0.11), Effort C2 (+0.02), Environmental Conditions D (0.00), and Consistency E (-0.02). What is the leveled normal time (Tn) for this operation?
6According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard for process flow charting (cursograma analítico), which graphical symbol represents an unplanned or planned delay (demora), such as material waiting in a buffer between processing operations?
7An industrial engineer designs a work sampling study to determine the proportion of time automated CNC mills remain idle. A pilot study estimates that machines are idle 20% of the time (p = 0.20). At a 95% confidence level (z = 1.96) and a desired absolute error margin of ±4% (e = 0.04), what is the minimum number of random observations (N) required?
8Under Mexican Official Standard NOM-025-STPS-2008 (Condiciones de iluminación en los centros de trabajo), what minimum illumination level applies to visual tasks requiring fine distinction of detail (distinción fina de detalles), such as precision machining and the assembly and inspection of delicate work?
9A manufacturing engineering team is designing a progressive assembly line. The total elemental work content is 142 seconds, and the desired production rate dictates a takt time of 40 seconds per unit. What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations (N_min), and what would be the line efficiency if physical layout constraints force the line to use 5 workstations?
10According to Ralph M. Barnes' principles of motion economy regarding workplace arrangement, where and how should tools, parts, and materials be positioned to minimize operator fatigue and motion time?
About the EGEL Plus Ingeniería Industrial Exam
Independent EGEL Plus Ingeniería Industrial practice by OpenExamPrep. The official Ceneval examination is in Spanish and has 220 three-option items: 160 disciplinary items in Estudio del trabajo, Gestión de la cadena de suministro, Proyectos de inversión, estratégicos y operativos, and Sistemas operativos de manufactura y servicios, and 60 transversal Lenguaje y Comunicación items. This bank is an English-language study adaptation with four-option multiple-choice questions, not an official translation or format simulation. Disciplinary stems and explanations are in English. Language and communication items keep their Spanish passages and answer options, because Spanish usage is the skill being tested, and give their instructions and explanations in English.
Exam sponsor: Centro Nacional de Evaluación para la Educación Superior (Ceneval). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
220 three-option items: 160 disciplinary items (Estudio del trabajo 40, Gestión de la cadena de suministro 40, Proyectos de inversión, estratégicos y operativos 30, Sistemas operativos de manufactura y servicios 50) and 60 transversal items in Comprensión Lectora and Redacción Indirecta.
Time Limit
Two sessions of 4.5 hours each on the same day (9 hours in total)
Passing Score
Each area and each section is reported on the Índice Ceneval (700-1300): 700-999 Aún no satisfactorio, 1000-1149 Satisfactorio, 1150-1300 Sobresaliente. The global result is weighted toward the disciplinary section: Satisfactorio or better there earns at least a Testimonio de Desempeño Satisfactorio, and a Testimonio de Desempeño Sobresaliente requires Sobresaliente in the disciplinary section and at least Satisfactorio in Lenguaje y Comunicación

EGEL Plus Ingeniería Industrial: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EGEL Plus Ingeniería Industrial?
The EGEL Plus Ingeniería Industrial (EGEL Plus IINDU) is Ceneval's national exit examination for graduates of the Licenciatura en Ingeniería Industrial and related programs. It measures the knowledge and skills considered indispensable at the end of the degree, plus Spanish reading comprehension and indirect writing. Institutions may use the result as a graduation requirement, a titulación option or part of a course grade, under their own rules; a Testimonio does not by itself determine the award of the degree or the cédula profesional.
How many questions are on the official EGEL Plus IINDU and how long is it?
The official exam has 220 items: 160 disciplinary items (Estudio del trabajo 40, Gestión de la cadena de suministro 40, Proyectos de inversión, estratégicos y operativos 30, Sistemas operativos de manufactura y servicios 50) and 60 Lenguaje y Comunicación items (30 reading comprehension and 30 indirect writing). It is given on one day in two sessions of 4.5 hours each (9 hours). About 15% of the items are pilot items that do not count toward the result.
How is the EGEL Plus IINDU scored?
Each area and section is reported on the Índice Ceneval from 700 to 1300: 700-999 Aún no satisfactorio, 1000-1149 Satisfactorio and 1150-1300 Sobresaliente. The global result follows a conjunctive rule weighted toward the disciplinary section: Satisfactorio or better in the disciplinary section earns at least a Testimonio de Desempeño Satisfactorio, while a Testimonio de Desempeño Sobresaliente requires Sobresaliente in the disciplinary section and at least Satisfactorio in Lenguaje y Comunicación. Candidates with a global Sobresaliente who take the exam for the first time within one year of finishing the degree are eligible for the Premio Ceneval al Desempeño de Excelencia-EGEL.
Can I use a calculator or formula sheet on the EGEL Plus IINDU?
Yes. The official guide allows a non-programmable scientific calculator, which may not be shared between candidates. Ceneval also provides a formulario (formula sheet), handed out on paper or shown on the exam platform depending on the modality, and publishes it on its EGEL portal so you can study with it in advance.
Why is this practice bank in English if the official exam is in Spanish?
The official Ceneval exam is in Spanish. This bank is an independent English-language study adaptation with four-option questions, not an official translation or format simulation. Disciplinary questions and explanations are in English so you can review the engineering content. Language and communication items keep their Spanish passages and options because they test Spanish usage, and their instructions and explanations are in English.
What are the disciplinary areas of EGEL Plus IINDU?
The 160 disciplinary items are split into Estudio del trabajo (40), Gestión de la cadena de suministro (40), Proyectos de inversión, estratégicos y operativos (30) and Sistemas operativos de manufactura y servicios (50). Each of the 16 subareas has 10 items.
