Dexterity Tests for Dexterity Tests for Recruitment…Recruitment…

Introduction …Introduction …

The aim of the “Dexterity Tests” is to standardize the selection and recruitment process of machine operators. By assigning a suitable job to the right person, it will help to achieve shorter training cycle.

Benefits …Benefits …

Recruiting operators having good sewing potential

Easier to assign job to operators Shorter training cycles Increase scope for Multi-skilled

operators

Implementation ...Implementation ...

All ‘new recruits’ should undergo the Dexterity tests

Applicant who succeed will be recruited as trainee machinist

Operators will be assigned to specific operation, according to their scores

Now Let us see how these tests are performed

Pin-Board Exercise …Pin-Board Exercise …

AimAim Test the ability of the ‘new recruits’ to perform Test the ability of the ‘new recruits’ to perform

fine and rapid work with their fingers but fine and rapid work with their fingers but mostly to assess their hand dexteritymostly to assess their hand dexterity

Flip these pins and insert them in the other side of the board using both hands. Time taken to perform the test must be recorded

Ball and Tube Exercise …Ball and Tube Exercise …

AimAim To test the coordination of hands and also to assess

the finger dexterity of the ‘new recruits

Transfer marbles from one box to another by passing it through the tube. While performing the test the candidate is allowed to look only at the tube. Time taken to perform the test must be recorded

Needle-Board Exercise …Needle-Board Exercise …

AimAim To test the eye sight of the recruit and also his/her

ability and speed to thread needles

Thread these 7 needles by starting

from the left. Trim the thread after

threading each needle. Time taken

to perform the test must be

recorded

Eye Test Sheets …Eye Test Sheets …

AimAim To assess the eye sight and the concentrating power of

the new recruits

Follow these lines using the eyes

only (no guides like pen or pencil

must be used) and transfer the

figures from the left column to the

right column. Time taken to

perform the test must be

recorded.
