Case Study – The New Engineer   Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator.  This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree.  He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.   Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace.  They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time.  They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.   As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor.  He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum.  They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin.  They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.   In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of…

9. A defense department assigned its highest priority to develop an advanced aircraft using materials not previously used and untested technologies. A firm fixed-price contract was awarded to a qualified vendor. Controls were in place at all levels, and progress reports—noting challenges—were sent to top officials. Top officials reported that progress was excellent, but the project failed due to enormous expenditures with no aircraft developed. Which risks were not adequately considered? I. Because the requirements were not specific, the use of a firm fixed-price contract made the project risky. II. The personnel at many levels sent false reports forward on cost incurred and progress made. III. The contractor lacked adequate technical skills to deal with technology that was still evolving. IV. Top procurement officials did not act on “red flags” due to a “can do” mentality on a high priority of the program.   Group of answer choices II and III only I only None of the choices I,…

Quality has been defined as customer satisfaction (or "fitness for use"). Quality can also be defined as "conformance to specifications". In theory, if you create the right specifications and then manufacture a product that meets these specifications, you should achieve customer satisfaction.  Consider the following four scenarios for a particular product: A) Conforms to specifications and is competitive in its adequacy.   B) Conforms to specifications and is not competitive in its suitability.    C) It does not conform to specifications and is competitive in its education.   D) Does not conform to specifications and is not competitive in its education.   Which of these are not, in theory, feasible, but in practice occur and cause a lot of conceptual confusion?  Can you cite some examples?

Q5: A manager of an inventory system believes that inventory models are important decision making aids. Even though often using an EOQ policy, the manager never considered a backorder model because of the assumption that backorders were “bad” and should be avoided. However, with upper management’s continued pressure for cost reduction, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a backorder policy for some products that can possibly be backordered. For a specific product with D = 1200 units per year, Co = 160, = 4, and = 25, what is the difference in total annual cost between the EOQ model and the planned shortage or backorder model? If the manager adds constraints that no more than 25% of the units can be backordered and that no customer will have to wait more than 18 days for an order, should the backorder inventory policy be adopted? Assume 300 working days per year.

Strategy 1. To set strategy of the operation function based on the following: a. Quality as OQD and cost as OWD. b. The company position itself based on cost. c. The company policy of minimizing use of natural materials to be adopted and deployed. Product Design 2. To design the new model of the product based on the following analyses: a. Use of QFD as a design tool.

Question 2 You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial weight bearing activities. Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the yield stress for the…
