cost of 161.71per order.Your task is to determine an ordering and inventory policy. Specifically, determine an order quantity Q and areorder point R. Your company has a barcode system in place so your order is automatically placed when R isreached. As the lead time of your supplier is not always perfect, it is possible that more than one order may beoutstanding at any given time. That is, you may place another order before the previous order(s) has arrived. For thisreason, the inventory system will use inventory position (i.e., current inventory plus all outstanding orders) forthe comparison to the reorder point R.Your goal is to minimize the sum of all costs, namely sampling cost, the fixed cost of ordering, holding, backlog andall penalty

technicalquestion from a high school student with a thorough explanation that does not overwhelm thequestioner is a skill much needed by today’s engineers (and easier though no less important thantrying to help a journalist get it straight).So if the reader is in agreement that there may indeed be value in having the engineering studentsmake presentations in high school settings, then how could or should this be implemented? Inthis case the cliché is correct, “the devil is in the details”. Having dispensed with the “why” byway of introduction, let me go on to explore the “who, when, where, how and what”.II. WhoPerhaps more correctly, this should be the “Who”s, as there are several groups of people to beinvolved. The engineering faculty is the first “Who

Types of the design projects that the local industry is interested in include: completelynew design to perform specific task(s), modify or improve existing design, and solvingproblems in some industrial operations.II. The Need for the Local Industry InvolvementThe cost of constructing a prototype of the finished design is usually high. This is especially thecase when the projects involve real life problems. For small undergraduate mechanicalengineering programs with limited resources, such as ours, the high cost of building theseprojects tends to hamper the selection of quality capstone senior design projects.

They were encouraged to make a note of the person(s)they worked with on their assignment. This was not a requirement since 80 - 90% of ourstudents at the freshman level are employed for a significant number of hours outside of school.Additional group interaction activities also included one-minute papers (list the clearest answer,most confusing topic, etc.) and a number of chances to ‘vote’ in the classroom.

Thus the potentiometer ensures thatthe linear speed is maintained and the controller ensures that the speed is the same forboth spools.The system was designed based on the tension the material could withstand or thehorsepower being supplied by the motor(s). The mechanical engineers decided to beginby designing the system with a 0.4 HP motor, (the smallest motor the electrical engineerscould find) and selecting polyester as the material. The electrical engineers found that themaximum tension for this material was to be 0.75lbs. The electromechanical engineeringteam determined the tension in

The card has the ability to digitizeand source signals with 16-bit resolution. This is more than sufficient for testing standard 8-bit mixed-signal devices. Optionally, one can use an arbitrary waveform generator such as the 33120 (since manyelectronics labs already have one of these) for sourcing analog waveforms and then purchase a lessexpensive data acquisition card such as a PCI 6024 for capturing analog waveforms and for sourcingDC voltages. On the digital side, the PCI DIO 32HS is required if one wishes to perform dynamic testson mixed-signal devices (ie, S/THD or SNR measurements), otherwise the static
