It is intended to be a carousel-type layout, but he had difficulty drawing a circle, so hedrew a rectangle instead, with blocks indicating the stations. The design is intended to includenine stations arranged in a circle, with the 1st station adjacent to the 9th station. He used the pinkstar to point to which part(s) would be assembled at each station as he talked. The designincludes five robot stations (3, 4, 5, 6, and 9) and four manual stations (1, 2, 7, 8).Figure 4 shows his typed cost estimates (the text overlap on the first line is due to a videosynching issue).

vertical,horizontal, or diagonal edges. Edge detection is a difficult task in noisy images, since both theedges and noise hold high- frequency content. Efforts to reduce the noise result in unclear anddistorted edges. Techniques used on noisy images are typically larger in scope; therefore, theycan gather enough data to discount localized noisy pixels. An example of edge detectionmethodology is given by the function:BW = Edge (I) ………………………. (1)This function takes a gray scale or a binary image I as its input, and returns a binary image BW Page 24.185.7of the same size as I, with 1's where the function finds edges in I and 0

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. The purpose was to create awareness and help team members develop root causeanalysis skills. In this way, a little effort in the beginning could reduce the necessity for

NC machines have earned a certain level ofreputation in the manufacturing arena through their capabilities including the quality of the work.The question has now been formed to read ‘Is there a novel application of these machines thatcould make them more valuable and pave a way for an entrepreneurial opportunity’. Thestudents were given a lecture and notes on effectual thinking. They were given an additionalopportunity to produce a component and observe the capabilities of the machines. They werethen requested to identify the special feature(s) and design a product that would exploit thisfeature in its manufacturing process. They
