The export business in China is growing. Uncle George, who has just returned from a trade expo in Shanghai, has informed you tha

t the port authority of Ningbo expects the demand to reach the same level as Shanghai. The port authority of Ningbo is now deciding how to change its system to accommodate this surge in demand. They have two options, (a) to retire their existing x-ray machine and buy an x-ray machine similar to the one used by the Shanghai port, or (b) to buy another x-ray machine similar to the one they already own and therefore operate the system with two similar machines. Both the options will cost the port authority of Ningbo the same. Purely from the perspective of reducing lead-time, is (a) or (b) better for you? Please show your detailed analysis.

Answer:

Assuming that the capacity of the new X-ray machine is the same as the capacity of two older machines, the difference results from the number of units waiting in line (queue). You would need two different groups of workers to move the containers into the correct position if you use the two older machines, while you need only one group to move them to the new machine. This decreases lead time since coordinating work also requires time, it might be a short time, but it is more time at the end of the day.

To be productive in a new job, what can you safely ignore
Andrew [12]
Well, these are the ways u can be productive at a new workplace:
-do the difficult or most important stuff first, then leave the less complicated stuff in the end
-take breaks-sitting 24/7 in ur office desk can be detrimental to ur health-do things u enjoy every one hour or so, such as sipping a black coffee with a light snack or having a quick laugh with ur colleauges, or perhaps u can challenge urself with a game of scrabble. it will change ur life of work struggles and make u mentally and physically happy!! 
-don't multitask-u will make ur life more complicated, by completing stuff in a second. don't be paranoid with wotever work u have, the world is not going to end!
-u have innovative thoughts but finding it problematic to execute it? write down some ideas, concepts of how to overcome some work problems or doodle of wot u see ur next digital future like. its not complicated, u just need to be experiment, u never know when a creative idea might rush in.

-i hope i helped:)

Tomtit [17]

The FDIC stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Company.

By raising the limit on insured losses the FDIC helps stabilize the system by instilling confidence.

If the consumer knows that their savings accounts are protected up to $250,000 they will be encouraged to spend money during a time of crisis.

Because of the increased limit, there is less probability that there would be something called

"a run on the bank."
