Problem 3.10 One/half million parts of a certain type are to be manufactured annually on dedicated production machines that run

16 hours per day, five days per week, 50 weeks per year. (a) The cycle time to produce one part is 1.8 min. If availability and utilization are each 100%, and setup time is neglected, how many of the machines will be required to satisfy demand? (b) Solve part (a) except that availability = 95%.

Answer:

  • 4 machines
  • 4 machines

Explanation:

(a) The production schedule is 4000 hour per year, or 240,000 minutes. In that time, 133,333 1/3 parts can be produced. The production of 500,000 parts in a year will require the use of ...

  .5 million/(.1333... million/machine) = 3.75 machines

The demand can be satisfied by 4 machines.

__

(b) If availability is 95% then 3.75/0.95 ≈ 3.95 machines will be required.

The demand can be satisfied by 4 machines.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Improved/ advanced types of Actuators include servo systems, create a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion.

Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Explanation:

An actuator control system is referred to as any electronic, electrical, or electromechanical system often used to activate an actuator, control the direction as well as extent and duration of its output. Actuator control systems could take the form of extremely simple, manually-operated, start-and-stop stations, either sophisticated or programmable computer systems. The more improved/ advanced types include servo systems that produce a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process. This type of actuator control system uses an interface arrangement that assimilates feedback from the process or mechanism and adjusts the actuator in the right way. Most actuator systems will include at least a set of travel limits that prevent the actuator destroying itself or the secondary mechanism.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion. They are used to changes, adjust, or move a secondary mechanism, where a physical operator cannot intervene directly. They are denoted by a large range of varying types using electrical and electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic power sources to create linear or rotary outputs. One element they all have in common is the actuator control system used to start, stop, and adjust the range, speed, and duration of the working motion.

Actuators can produce a linear motion, rotary motion or oscillatory motion which means they can create motion in one direction, in a circular motion or in opposite directions at regular intervals. Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Identify the phase of the design process illustrated in the following scenario, and justify its importance. Kristin has recently
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The design process is at the verify phase of Design for Six Sigma

Explanation:

In designing for Six Sigma, DFSS, is a product or process design methodology of which the goal is the detailed identification of the customer business needs by using measurements tools such as statistical data, and incorporating the identified need into the created product which in this case is the hydraulic robot Kristin Designed

Implementation of DFSS follows a number of stages that are based on the DMAIC (Define - Measure - Analyze - Improve) projects such as the DMADV which stand for define - measure - analyze - verify

Therefore, since Kristin is currently ensuring that the robot is working correctly and meeting the needs of her client the design process is at the verify phase.
