Answer:

b). false

Explanation:

Lean manufacturing

Lean manufacturing, a philosophy developed by Toyota Production System are means to eliminate wastes. They are defined as the techniques or management activities in eliminating wastes and increasing the efficiency inside an organisation.

According to the concept of lean manufacturing, mainly seven types of wastes are identified. They are :

1. Transportation waste

2. Inventory waste

3. Over production

4. Waiting

5. Defects

6. Motion waste

7. Non utilized talent

All these waste affect greatly to the efficiency of an organisation and devalue its services. Lean manufacturing advises to prevent all these waste in order to increase the productivity.

All the management activities and techniques used in lean manufacturing may be different according to the business application but they are all based on the same basic principle of removing wastes and errors and increase efficiency.

The different sectors that are benefiting from lean manufacturing methodology are

Healthcare

Hospitality

Food and Beverage

Government

Manufacturing

Lean manufacturing can be used in different sectors.

A school is playing $0.XY per kWh for electric power. To reduce its power bill, the school installs a wind turbine with a rated

Semmy [17]

Answer: Your question has some missing figures so kindly plug in the values into the solution provided to get the exact amount of money saved

answer : Electric power generated = 216 * 10^6 kJ

money saved = $0.XY * 60000 kwh

Explanation:

Calculating the amount of electric power generated by wind turbine

power generated = ( 30 * 2000 ) kWh = 60000 kWh

Electric energy generated = 60000 kWh * 3600 kJ = 216 * 10^6 kJ

Calculate money saved by school per year

$0.XY * 60000 kwh

Homes may be heated by pumping hot water through radiators. What mass of water (in g) will provide the same amount of heat when

Nitella [24]

Answer:

a mass of water required is mw= 1273.26 gr = 1.27376 Kg

Explanation:

Assuming that the steam also gives out latent heat, the heat provided should be same for cooling the hot water than cooling the steam and condense it completely:

Q = mw * cw * ΔTw = ms * cs * ΔTw + ms * L

where m = mass , c= specific heat , ΔT=temperature change, L = latent heat of condensation

therefore

mw = ( ms * cs * ΔTw + ms * L )/ (cw * ΔTw )

replacing values

mw = [182g * 2.078 J/g°C*(118°C-100°C) + 118 g * 2260 J/g ] /[4.187 J/g°C * (90.7°C-39.4°C)] = 1273.26 gr = 1.27376 Kg

Explanation:

Holmes owns two suits: one black and one tweed.

Whenever he wears his tweed suit and a purple shirt, he chooses not to wear a tie and whenever he wears sandals, he always wears a purple shirt.

So, if he wore a bow tie yesterday, it means he wore his black suit, another color of shirt (not purple) and shoes because the shirt color is not purple

Tech A says that thrust angle refers to the direction the front wheels are pointing. Tech B says that scrub radius refers to the

kenny6666 [7]

Both of the technicians are correct.

Explanation:

The thrust angle is defined as the angle formed by the imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the rear axis center line. It is used in alignment of the four wheels.

It is also used to determine the direction the front wheels are pointing. While the scrub radius is the intersecting point of the vertical center line of front tires with the imaginary line drawn from the steering knuckles.

Thus both the technicians are saying correct. The thrust angle and scrub radius are used to determine the alignment of wheels, if there is any misalignment in wheels then it needs to make it correct to prevent accidents.
