These costs areunacceptable to the CEO and s(he) wants to know how much the costs can be lowered withoutdecreasing the load capacity or deflection as more than three inches movement would benoticeable. That is, s(he) wants a lower cost, but equal or superior product performance. This iswhat is required to be competitive in the globalization environment.The computer model gave the following values for the cost items and the differences werecaused by the extra digits carried in the computer calculations.

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

They were to find anddocument the root cause of the un-cleanliness problem in each workplace so as to help eliminatethe problem. When a team found a dirty area, members were to ask themselves: how can weprevent this from getting dirty again? Similarly, at the discovering of oil leaks, lose or missingcovers; this question was rehearsed so as to identify opportunities to improve or eliminate theproblem.

If we accept the broader definitionof innovation, “…act or process of inventing or introducing something new”, we reallymay be on to something. In other words we don’t have to invent a new widget to beinnovative, we might simply improve (optimize) the widget’s design, performance,durability, and manufacturing process.

Academics, and to the most part other respondents mentioned the many problemsfacing the academic institutions.
