Answer:

Time, cost and quality.

Explanation:

A supply chain is a network between a company and its suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product to the final buyer, its performance refers to the extended supply chain’s activities in meeting end-customer requirements, including product availability, on-time delivery, and all the necessary inventory and capacity in the supply chain to deliver that performance in a responsive manner. When selecting metrics to measure, there are characteristics that companies should look for, some of these characteristics are the facility to understand it, the relevance of the metric and how easy it is to collect the data obtained.

There are three common supply chain performance metrics:

Time: these metrics are easily calculated and understood, and show operational effectiveness. For example, the level of on-time deliveries and receipts, time to process purchase orders, and time to fulfill an order.
Cost: this metric shows how efficient parts of the company are, they can identify where improvements can be made. Inventory carrying costs is a popular performance metric that helps companies to understand how much it costs them to carry items in the warehouse.

Quality: this metric helps improve customer satisfaction.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What steps would you take to design an improved toothpaste container?

algol [13]

Answer:

A. Identify the need, recognize limitations of current toothpaste containers, and then brainstorm ideas on how to improve the existing

Explanation:

To design an improved toothpaste container, we must identify the needs of the customer, one of the major need is to make the container attractive to the sight. This is the first thing that will prompt a customer to wanting to buy the product (The reflectance/appearance).

Then recognize the limitation of the current design, what needed change. This will help in determining what is needed to be included and what should be removed based on identified customers need.

The last step is to brainstorm ideas on how to improve the existing designs. Get ideas from other colleagues because there is a saying that two heads are better than one. This will help in coming to a reasonable conclusion on the new design after taking careful consideration of people's opinion.

A series circuit has 4 identical lamps. The potential difference of the energy source is 60V. The total resistance of the lamps

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

$I=3A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of lamps $N=4$

Potential difference $V=60v$

Total Resistance of the lamp is $R= 20ohms$

Generally the equation for Current I is mathematically given by

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{60}{20}$

$I=3A$

Explain why the scenario below fails to illustrate an understanding of the importance of metrology. Situation: Natalie is a cali

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The situation being described completely fails in regard to the importance of metrology. This is because the main importance of metrology is making sure that all of the measurements in a process are as accurate as possible. This accuracy allows an entire process to function efficiently and without errors. In a food production plant, each individual department of the plant relies on the previous function to have completed their job with the correct and accurate instructions so that they can fulfill their functions correctly and end up with a perfect product. If the oven (like in this scenario) is a couple of degrees off it can cause the product to come out burned or undercooked, which will then get transferred to the next part of production which will also fail due to the failed input (burned or undercooked product). This will ultimately lead to an unusable product at the end of the process and money wasted. Which in a large production plant means thousands of products in a single batch are thrown away.

You have an ac voltage of 10 sin(60t). Design a full wave bridge rectifier which will give you an output voltage that varies a m

Masteriza [31]

As there are 10 V, for Vp1, that is the peak-voltage of the source:

$Vp1=10*\sqrt{2}=14.14 V$

Then, transformer's theory says that the relation of transformations is:

V1/V2=a

Where V1 is the voltage in the primary and V2 in the secondary.

V1=14.14 V

V2=8.55 V

a=1.65

Then, with the 8.5 V, we find the real peak-voltage, taking in account that in the diodes we have a drop of 0.7 V each, so:

8.5 -1.4=7.1 V

And this will be called VpL

Now we proceed to calculate the mean voltage:

$V_{mean}=VpL-(\frac{Vr}{2} )$

Where Vr is the ripple voltage, we asume that is 1 V

So, Vmean = 6.6 V

Then we have

Vmean/R= I mean

We have that R=1000 Ohm

Imedia=6.6 V/1000 Ohm

Imedia=6.6 mAmps

Finally, we can calculate the capacitor:

C=Q/Vr

C=Imean/(Vr*2f)

Where f is 60Hz

C=6.6mA/(1V*120)

C=5.5 uFarads

Therefore:

C=5.5 uFarads that works at 12 V
