An increase in productivity
Waste elimination
Improved product quality

Disadvantages of JIT are:

Chances and risk of running out of stock
Requirement of big amount of capital investment
Low flexibility and lacking control over time frame.

Tech A says that 18 AWG wire is larger than 12 AWG wire. Tech B says that the larger the diameter of the conductor, the more ele

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Both of them are wrong

Explanation:

The two technicians have given the wrong information about the wires.

This is because firstly, a higher rating of AWG means it is smaller in diameter. Thus, the diameter of a 18 AWG wire is smaller than that of a 12 AWG wire and that makes the assertion of the technician wrong.

Also, the higher the resistance, the smaller the cross sectional area meaning the smaller the diameter. A wire with bigger cross sectional area will have a smaller resistance

So this practically makes the second technician wrong too

Derive the following conversion factors: (a) Convert a pressure of 1 psi to kPa (b) Convert a vol ume of 1 liter to gallons (c)

kirill [66]

Answer:

a)6.8 KPa

b)0.264 gallon

c)47.84 Pa.s

Explanation:

We know that

1 lbf= 4.48 N

1 ft =0.30 m

Given that

P= 1 psi

psi is called pound force per square inch.

We know that 1 psi = 6.8 KPa.

Given that

Volume = 1 liter

We know that 1000 liter = 1 cubic meter.

1 liter =0.264 gallon.

$1\ \frac{lb.s}{ft^2}=47.84\ \frac{Pa.s}{ft^2}$
