This informs the user of the names of any new equiva-lents, thereby facilitating their use in subsequent computations. Figure 5 displays the system after evaluating the equation: E0 of A1:A5 = 100.00(P|A, i, 5-0) (2)The last step in solving the problem is to sum the entries at time 0 in columns A and B. The userinputs 0 into the @ column, enters Sum as the calculation, and declares A and B as the columnsto be summed (at time 0 only). Figure 6 displays the system after the Compute button is pressed,automatically changing the 0 entry in the @ column to A0

After your second attempt, if your cube is not visible, you will need to demonstrate that the object that was displaced did contain a cube. Before disassembling your design, you need to a) Get a picture taken of your design which clearly shows the completed EM103 Information Display Sheet. b) Have a faculty site official verify that all the information required has been measured and have them initial your ME103 Cube Displacement Documentation Form.. c) Turn in your EM103 Information Display Sheet at the sign-in table.

Thesurvey served to (a) establish that faculty were, in fact, dissatisfied with current coursewareauthoring support and (b) identified a group of interested stakeholders that we could draw on.Our subsequent requirements analysis process proceeded along two parallel tracks.First, following the

The database tracked actual production hours, production rate, re-scheduling, non-conformance standards, management allocation, backlog recovery, workmeasurement standards, and budget. Once the database was loaded, the software calculatedproduction performance percentage, budgeted hours, backlog, and manload/labor utilization.

non-value added activity required to bring a product through theproduction flow from raw material to the customer is called the value stream (Rother and Shook,1999). The purpose of value stream mapping is to highlight the sources of waste and eliminatethem by implementation of a future-state value stream. Documenting the current state of theprocess is important so that all value-added and non-value-added operations can be visualized.The non-value-added steps in the production of shoulder humeral heads are (a) travel distance,(b) WIP inventory, (c), material waste, (d) rework, and (e) extra inspection operations, which allincrease production lead time.

For Spring 2002 the grade distribution was A-4, AB-1, B-1, BC-4, C-3, CD-1, F-5 whereas for Spring 2001 it was A-5, AB-4, B-2, BC-4, C-1, CD-3,D-1, F-1. Surprisingly enough, the students in the class in Spring 2002 also did not seem toblame the class for it. In fact, there was a slight overall improvement in the scores they had givento the course for helping them achieve these objectives.

Thecollaboration of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the School ofArchitecture required team members to bridge a cultural divide that included disparateskills, language, and perceptions.
