MODULE #51

I. TOPIC: IDENTIFY DIFFERENT KINDS OF TECHNICAL DRAWING

II. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this module, the students shall be able to:
1. select correct technical drawing according to job requirements;
2. identify technical drawings in accordance with the types and kinds of drawings; and
3. recognize components, and assemblies or objects as required.

III. INTRODUCTION
Technical drawing is essential for communicating ideas in computer industry and engineering. To make
the drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of
measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layout. Together, such conventions constitute a visual
language and help to ensure that the drawing is unambiguous and relatively easy to understand. In this module,
you will learn different kinds of technical drawing.

drawing which is related to this topic.

IV. LESSON PROPER

FLOWCHART
A flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps in a
process. Another name for this tool is "flow diagram."

What Are the Elements of a Flowchart?

A flowchart is commonly used by systems analysts to visualize the series of processes in a business
system. A flowchart is a useful tool to design an efficient business system and to troubleshoot or improve an
existing system. A flowchart consists of elements, such as the terminator, process, sub process, decision, arrow
lines, and connectors.

1. TERMINATOR
A terminator is represented by a small rectangle with curved corners. A terminator appears at the start
and at the end of a flowchart. The end terminator appears only once on a single flowchart.

2. PROCESS
A process is represented by a rectangle. It refers to an action in a business process. It must be described
clearly and concisely. A process can be described using a single verb-noun phrase; for example, "Order Office
Supplies." The same level of detail must be kept in processes on a single flowchart.

3. SUB-PROCESS
A sub-process is represented by a rectangle with double lines on each side. A sub-process is a major
process that could be broken up into simpler processes developed into another flowchart.

4. DECISION
A decision is represented by a diamond. A process that can answer a decision of "yes" or "no" requires
a decision box.

BASIC FLOWCHART SYMBOLS

The symbols that are commonly used in flowcharts (Viewgraph 3) have specific meanings and are
connected by arrows indicating the flow from one step to another:
 1. Oval. Ovals indicate both the starting point and the ending point of the process steps.

2. Box. A box represents an individual step or activity in the process.

3. Diamond. A diamond shows a decision point, such as yes/no or go/no-go. Each path emerging
from the diamond must be labeled with one of the possible answers.

4. Circle. A circle indicates that a particular step is connected to another page or part of the
Flowchart. A letter placed in the circle clarifies the continuation.

5. Triangle. A triangle shows where an in-process measurement occurs.

 MODULE #52

I. TOPIC: INTERPRET TECHNICAL DRAWING

II. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this module, the students shall be able to:
1. identify dimensions of the key features of the objects are depicted in the drawing correctly;
2. interpret and identify the symbols used in the drawing correctly; and
3. drawing is checked and validated against job requirements or equipment in accordance with
standard operating procedures

III. INTRODUCTION
Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of composing drawings that visually
communicate how something functions or is constructed. The need for precise communication in the
preparation of a functional document distinguishes technical drawing from the expressive drawing of the visual
arts. Artistic drawings are subjectively interpreted; their meanings are multiply determined. Technical drawings
are understood to have one intended meaning.

IV. LESSON PROPER

How do you interpret flowcharts?

A Flowchart will help you understand your process and uncover ways to improve it only if you use it to
analyze what is happening. Interpreting your Flowchart will help you to:

✓ Determine who is involved in the process.

✓ Form theories about root causes.
✓ Identify ways to streamline the process.
✓ Determine how to implement changes to the process.
✓ Locate cost-added-only steps.
✓ Provide training on how the process works or should work.
Below is a sequence of steps that will help you through an orderly analysis of your flowchart.
Step 1 - Examine each process step for the following conditions that indicate a need to
improve the process:

Bottlenecks. These points in the process where it slows down may be caused by redundant or
unnecessary steps, rework, lack of capacity, or other factors.
Weak links. These are steps where problems occur because of inadequate training of process workers,
equipment that needs to be repaired or replaced, or insufficient technical documentation. "Inform
the drill leader and improvise" is one of the weak links.
Poorly defined steps. Steps which are not well-defined may be interpreted and performed in a different way by
each person involved, leading to process variation. "Improvise" is a poorly defined step in the
weak link cited above.

Step 2 - Examine each decision symbol. You may want to collect data on how often there is a "yes" or "no"
answer at decision points marked by a diamond shaped symbol. If most decisions go one way rather
than the other, you may be able to remove this decision point.
Step 3 - Examine each rework loop. Processes with numerous checks generate rework and waste. Examine the
activities preceding the rework loop and identify those that need to be improved. Look for ways to
shorten or eliminate the loop.
Step 4 - Examine each activity symbol. Does the step help build a key quality characteristic into the end
product? If not, consider eliminating it.

TYPES OF FLOWCHART
Besides the three levels of detail used to categorize Flowcharts, there are three main types of flowcharts
namely, linear, deployment, and opportunity. The level of detail can be depicted as macro, mini, or micro for
each of these types.

1. Linear Flowchart. A linear flowchart is a diagram that displays the sequence of work steps that make up a
process. This tool can help identify rework and redundant or unnecessary steps within a process.
2. Deployment Flowchart. A deployment flowchart shows the actual process flow and identifies the people or
groups involved at each step. Horizontal lines define customer-supplier relationships. This type of chart
shows where the people or groups fit into the process sequence, and how they relate to one another
throughout the process.

How do we construct a linear flowchart?

Following are the seven steps for developing a linear flowchart:
1. Define the process to be flowcharted, and the purpose for flowcharting it.
2. Assemble the right people to develop the flowchart—those operators, technicians, or office workers who are
actually involved in the process.
3. Establish process boundaries—the starting and ending points.
✓ Identify the major activities or sub processes that are included in the process.
✓ Determine what is not included in the scope of the process to remove any doubt or confusion about the
boundaries. This may also help establish the scope of related processes.
4. List the steps, activities, and decisions to be charted. If your team is not sure about a step, mark it to be
investigated later.
5. Put the steps in chronological sequence. Sometimes it's easier to start with the last step and work back to
the first step.
6. Assign flowchart symbols such as boxes, diamonds, and triangles.
7. Review and title the Flowchart.

V. EVALUATION
Analyze carefully the given task below: do it and make a flowchart based on the given situation.
(100%)

Your task:
You are a member of a product assembly team in a gaming machine manufacturer and looking for ways
of building the product more efficiently. You are asked to break down the assembly process into a set of
flowcharts, showing how sub-assemblies are made and then built into the final product. Present your developed
flowchart to the team leader. Good example for this task is the Mobile legend Bang Bang which is a very
popular online game today. What you have to do is to incorporate your knowledge on how and why Moonton
became a successful manufacturer of gaming app.

MODULES #53-54

I. TOPIC: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT, AND RISK CONTROL

II. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this module, the students shall be able to:
1. identify and clearly explain workplace hazards and risks;
2. identify hazards/risks and their corresponding indicators in accordance with the company
procedures; and
3. recognize and establish contingency measures in accordance with organizational procedures.

III. INTRODUCTION
Computer laboratories are dynamic, Electrical environments. Hazards in the laboratory not only include
chemical hazards but physical hazards as well. These include, but are not limited to, compressed gases,
electrical equipment, lasers, radiation, and seismic considerations and thermal hazards. Hazard identification
and evaluation, hazard controls, roles and responsibilities, and general chemical safety are all important parts of
this assessment.
Watch the video “Hazard and Risk” in youtube from the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCvScgI1MCs.

IV. LESSON PROPER

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a planned system of working to prevent illness and injury
where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health and safety procedure is the
responsibility of all persons in the computer and technology industries. You must identify the hazards where
you are working and decide how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents.
This Module is intended to give you some guidelines and advice on common areas of health and safety
problems in the computer industry and to help you gain a general awareness of your responsibilities as user and
technician in a safe environment.

There are three steps used to manage health and safety at work:
1. Spot the Hazard (Hazard Identification)
2. Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment)
3. Make the Changes (Risk Control)

At work you can use these three Think Safe steps to help prevent accidents.
Using the Think Safe Steps:

1. SPOT THE HAZARD

Key Point: A hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone else.

Examples of workplace hazards include:

• frayed electrical cords (could result in electrical shock)
• boxes stacked precariously (they could fall on someone)
• noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing)
During work experience, you must remain alert to anything that may be dangerous. If you see, hear or smell
anything odd, take note. If you think it could be a hazard, tell someone

2. ASSESS THE RISK

Key Point: Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how
serious the harm could be.

Whenever you spot a hazard, assess the risk by asking yourself two questions:
• How likely is it that the hazard could harm me or someone else?
• How badly could I or someone else be harmed?
Always tell someone (your employer, your supervisor or your health and safety representative) about
hazards you can't fix yourself, especially if the hazard could cause serious harm to anyone.

For example:
➢ Ask your supervisor for instructions and training before using equipment.
➢ Ask for help moving or lifting heavy objects.
➢ Tell your supervisor if you think a work practice could be dangerous.
If you are not sure of the safest way to do something during work experience, always ask your work
experience supervisor

3. MAKE THE CHANGES

Key Point: It is your employer's responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be able to fix simple hazards
yourself, as long as you don't put yourself or others at risk. For example, you can pick up things from the floor
and put them away to eliminate a trip hazard.

Common hazards encountered by computer technicians and users

A hazard is a situation in the workplace that has the potential to harm the health and safety of people or
to damage plant and equipment. The situation could involve a task, chemical or equipment used. Hazard
management is a continuous process that can be used to improve the health and safety of all workplaces.

Physical Hazards
One of the most common physical hazards involving computer technicians is cables running across the
floor. If someone trips, falls, and hurts himself because of a cable you ran across the floor, someone (you, your
employer, or your customer) has a serious legal negligence problem. If you need to temporarily run a cable
across the floor, place a Danger sign similar to those "wet floor" signs used by cleaning services.
For cables that are temporary but will need to run across the floor for a longer period of time, use
"gaffers tape". Gaffers tape is a heavy tape with strong adhesive to stick to the floor. It comes in a wide range of
colors, from unintrusive matte black to hazard warning red. Although it has strong adhesive, it can be removed
easily and cleanly.
For long term cable routing there is a wide variety of cable organizing devices like cable ties, cable
wraps, and cable raceways which can be used to run cable safely along the wall or ceiling.
Other common physical hazards include leaving tools on top of ladders and placing electronic equipment
in precarious positions or on support that is not sturdy enough or not designed for holding electronic equipment.

Mechanical Hazards
When Working on Electronic equipment, ask yourself “Is there
any way this equipment could hurt me? You might stick your hand in a
printer and suddenly the paper feed arm moves, feeding not only paper
your finger too. But a piece of through the printer,
You might move your hand past a computer chassis and lose a
chunk of flesh because it is razor sharp. When working on electronic
equipment always be alert to any possibility of being hurt by moving
parts, hot components, or sharp edges.

Chemical Hazards
There is a wide array of chemicals used with electronic equipment. There are display
cleaning chemicals, keyboard cleaning chemicals, compressed gas dirt and dust
removers, and many cleaning solvents. Some of these chemicals can be harmful if
accidentally swallowed, get on bare skin, or get in eyes. Before using any chemicals
for electronic equipment always read the warnings and instructions on the label.
Also be very careful when dealing with inkjet printer cartridges, or laser printer toner
cartridges. Ink and toner can stain skin, clothing, and carpet.

Electric Shock Hazard

Inside computers and electronic equipment, there is a range of voltages from 3.3 volts
to 25 volts, most of these are harmless. But at the power supply, you'll find line voltage,
which is a lethal 220 volts.
Most of the time while working inside computers and electronic equipment, you'll
want them unplugged from the wall socket. If you need to work on equipment while it is still
plugged in or powered up, remove all jewellery and wrist watches.

If you must work inside a line power distribution box, wear an electrician’s rubber insulated gloves and
safety glasses. You might think you don't need these safety devices because you are going to be extra careful,
but one little slip could cause a flaming explosion that could take off your hand, embed shrapnel in your eyes, or
conduct electricity through your heart, where it takes only 10 milliamps (0.01) to kill a human.

CRT Monitor High-Voltage Hazard

CRT monitors are becoming less common nowadays, but should you
run into one, it is best NOT to open it up. Instead, outsource any CRT repair
job to a qualified CRT repair service. A CRT monitor has a high-voltage anode
inside it, which can carry a charge of up to 25,000 volts, and it can still be
holding a high charge days after the power is removed.
If you must open a CRT monitor case for some reason, be sure to study
the proper way to discharge a CRT before you proceed. It involves using a
jumper wire and a flat blade screwdriver to shorten the anode to ground. After
being discharged, even with no power connection, the anode voltage will
actually build up again. So you have to repeatedly discharge it.

II. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this module, the students shall be able to:
a. understand the importance of applying 5s on computer;
b. identify the given files; and
c. follow the instruction of applying 5s on computer.

III. INTRODUCTION
This Module is intended to provide instruction to all computer users on how to organize and control
their local IT workspace. It is recognized that the application of good Work Place Organization within a user’s
PC can save significant effort and reduce operator stress. The instruction below should take you less than 20
minutes to implement.
Watch the video “5’s of computer” in youtube from the link:

IV. LESSON PROPER

Applying 5s on your computer

You work with documents, presentations, graphics, and other files all day—
and chances are, you have a lot of them. And that means it takes time to find the
documents you need. Even if it is just a couple of minutes here, and a couple of
minutes there, it all adds up.
 But there is a better way to stop the file clutter—by managing your files more effectively. Digital files
are no different than paper files, and if you don't have a good method of organization, things get lost.
Whether you save your files in your computer's hard drive or a shared network location, this course will help
you save time and headache of searching for files.
The purpose of this instruction is to help you apply 5S concepts to the hard drive of your computer
resulting in an increase to your daily productivity, better organization of your computer, and further compliance
with the Office 5S initiative. We will cover the following topics as they relate to your hard drive:
5’s provides the foundation for all quality improvement programs. Thus, it is often said that the road to
productivity starts with 5S and through 5S you can create a highly productive company with highly productive
people. 5S is not only a matter of good housekeeping. It is a process to create more productive people and more
productive companies through motivation, education, and the practice of 5S. It involves the creation of a strong
corporate culture filled with the spirit filled with the spirit of high productivity.
1. Seiri- Sorting/Putting things in order (Remove/discard what is not needed so that there are fewer hazards and
less clutter to interfere with work. Only keep what is needed.)
2. Seiton- Orderliness/Proper Arrangement (Place things in such a way that they can be easily reached
whenever they are needed. "There must be a place for everything, and everything must be in its place.")
3. Seiso- Clean/cleanliness. (Keep workplace and things clean and polished; no trash or dirt in the workplace).
4. Seiketsu- Standardize/Purity (Maintain cleanliness after cleaning, consistently-perpetual cleaning. Such
cleaning is part of every one's work).
5. Shitsuke- Sustaining/discipline/commitment (Maintain standards and keep the facility in safe and efficient
order day after day, year after year.)

Example #1: Am I at lost?

It’s not unusual for you to see a computer desktop on your classmate’s desk that looks something like
this:

You may have seen even worse. Keeping your desktop so cluttered like this creates many problems such as:
1. It is difficult to find what you’re looking for.
2. Files, folders, and application shortcuts are grouped together without any logical separation.
3. You don’t know immediately where to place new files (downloaded files, attachments, temporary
working documents, etc.)
4. When the desktop gets too full, you waste time cleaning temporary/downloaded files.
5. If you are only backing up My Documents, items on the Desktop may be skipped.
6. If you are migrating to a different computer or keeping multiple computers synchronized, the Desktop
folder is often missed.
What can you say about the desktop illustrated?
How can you make sure that the above problems will not be encountered?

Consider setting up your files in the tree structure format.

A tree structure is an algorithm for placing and locating

files in an organized database. The algorithm finds data by
repeatedly making choices at decision points called nodes. A node
can have as few as two branches (also called children), or as many
as several dozen.
In a tree, records are stored in locations called leaves. This
name derives from the fact that records always exist at end points;
there is nothing beyond them.
 The folder names do not necessarily tell the user what is inside them, making it difficult for yourself and
others to find. Also, the folders that are inside don’t necessarily belong there or fit with the other files.

Sort – it’s the best thing that you can do

Tired of icon clutter on your desktop? Sure, you can organize your desktop shortcuts, programs, folders,
and the like by dragging and dropping, but eventually some game or other screen resolution-changing app will
undo all your hard work.

Make Yourself a Desktop Cleaner

Your desktop is the first thing you see when you start
your computer. This should be the most organized part of your
electronic workspace. But what if your desktop looks like this?
What will be the impressions of your classmates?
The Desktop offers many features that make using your
computer easier. You can easily start programs or applications,
copy and move files from one place to another and drag and
drop files and program where you want them on the computer or
even on to a program's icon to open a file.

Manage Your Own Desktop

Numerous studies have shown that your environment affects your productivity, and that even something
as simple as color can influence your memory or creativity. Since most of our work now is done in the digital
realm, it stands to reason that your desktop environment can play an important role in your productivity.
Your computer's desktop is a starting point for your entire computing experience, but—like anything
else if you let it get ugly and messy your productivity will take a dive. Here's how to design and create an
attractive desktop with built-in organization to keep your workspace nice, clean, and productive with minimal
effort.

How to manage your desktop:

Create 5 folders in My Documents called:
1. Inbox - Put unprocessed items that don’t have a place yet in here. This may be items like software
installers you’ve downloaded, files sent to you from colleagues, and random text clippings.
2. Action Items - Put items requiring an action that takes more than 2 minutes in here. These may be items
such as forms to fill out, large applications to install and setup, and files to upload.
3. On Hold - Put items you aren’t yet ready to do or complete in here. These may be articles you’re
thinking of reading, sketches for potential projects, and information about classes you’re thinking about
taking.
4. Current Projects - Put files related to active projects in here. This folder contains files you’re currently
working on as well as reference files for a project. Each project gets its own unique folder.
5. Archive - Put completed projects, general reference items, and anything else you might want to look at
again in here.

TIPS:
1. By placing the underscore in front of the name of the file folder, it will force the folder to display at the top of
the list in My Documents.
2. Now move all relevant files from your desktop into these folders. If you have a large number of files, you can
move everything into the ―Inbox‖ folder and organize it later.
3. All that should be left on the desktop is program icons.
STUDENT PERFORMANCE TASK:
Organize your desktop. Name the folders and organize your own desktop by sorting the given files
accordingly. (Record a video while organizing your desktop and send it to my messenger account).
