One player in each group is assigned to the retailer stage to role play this supplychain partner. The end customer is the retailer’s customer and is the source for the orders of beerat the retailer station. Once the retailer fills the end customer’s order, s/he sends another order tothe wholesaler.Figure 1. Drawing of the retailer station. The wholesaler is the retailer’s supplier and therefore is the next partner in the supplychain layout of

A one half or even one quarter design would have yielded verysimilar results.This opinion was validated by comparing the main effect plots for the fullfactorial and ½ fractions DOE’s. The main effects for the full factorial and ½fraction are shown below in figures 3 and 4. Main Effects Plot (data means) for S/M/E Blue Green 60 Mean of Stephanie/Mark/Erynne 50

Fused Deposition Modeling--the specific typeof process used by the RepRap and OIT RepRap Project--was developed by S. Scott Crump in1989 and commercialized in 1991 by Stratasys Inc. who owns the trademark for FDM® [2].FDM works by heating up a thermoplastic, ABS in the case of RepRap, and extruding it througha small orifice onto a platform. Layers are built up successively to create a 3D model.Topographical contour lines result. The recognized accuracy (as of 2001) for FDM on a Stratasysmachine—arguably the best FDM machine available—is .005 inches [3

Press operators areamong the most likely workers to suffer an amputation injury.Third, the requirements to safely guard and operate a mechanical power press are thoroughlydocumented. An entire section of the OSHA code (29CFR1910.217) is specifically devoted torequirements of safeguarding mechanical power presses. Mechanical press safety is alsoaddressed explicitly in ANSI B11.1. In the mid-1990’s the identification of presses as a serioussafety risk, particularly for amputations, led to the initiation of a focused OSHA emphasisprogram on press safety entitled, “CPL 2-1.24, National Emphasis Program on MechanicalPower Presses, 29CFR1910.217.”To provide better insight into the problem of press injuries

The power is a percentage of full power.The feed rate, also known as pen speed, is essentially the linear speed at which the laser beammoves along the surface of the workpiece. The frequency is the rate at which the laser pulses.

The steps to utilizingboth KBE and CAD effectively are stated in Figure 1.The initial step in any design process is to identify the customers’ requirements for a newproduct. . In this particular example, the customer(s) requested a pallet-less, 23 gallon grainstorage drum. This design required that sets of four to eight drums be shipped together, but atthe same time eliminating the use of a pallet. The drums would also need to be stackable. Toeliminate the use of pallets, the drums would feature forklift

This relationship can symbolically be shown as given in equation (1): FAttribute = (1) cWhere F is the function provided by a product feature, and c is the cost of providing that featurein a product or service.
