An engineer is designing a transfer line. The line has 15 stations. Stations 1 through 10 should have the same reliability. Each station is expected to operate approximately 1000 cycles between failures. The last 5 stations are expected to break down about once every 600 cycles. Repair times will vary but should average about the equivalent of 12 cycles in duration. a. Find the availability of the line. b. Suppose you could add one buffer of size 20. Where would you place this buffer? Find the increase in availability

= Consider a four aisle AS/RS in which an S/R machine is used for each aisle. The length of the storage aisle 85 m and its height = 14 m. Suppose horizontal and vertical speeds of the S/R machine are 61 m/min and 23 m/min, respectively. The S/R machine requires 20 s to accomplish a P&D operation. The aisles in the AS/RS will be organized to follow a class-based dedicated storage strategy. There will be two classes, according to activity level. The more active stock is stored in the half of the rack system that is located closest to the input/output station, and the less active stock is stored in the other half of the rack system farther away from the input/output station. Within each half of the rack system, random storage is used. The more active stock accounts for 80% of the transactions, and the less active stock accounts for the remaining 20%. Assume that system utilization = 90%, and the number of single-command cycles = the number of dual-command cycles. Determine the throughput…
1. Consider the assembly system shown below. All workstations on the main line have an average time to failure of 1,000 cycles. Workstations on the feeder lines have an average time to failure of 800 cycles. All workstations have an average time to repair of ten cycles. The buffer has a capacity of 10 units. Find the availability of the line.

Using signavio or any PBM tools and must Use pool and lane and object. Model the following business process at a supplier. After a supplier notifies a retailer of the approval of a purchase order, the supplier can receive an order confirmation, an order change, or an order cancelation from the retailer. It may happen that no response is received at all. If no response is received after 48 h, or if an order cancelation is received, the supplier will cancel the order. If an order confirmation is received within 48 h, the supplier will process the order normally. If an order change is received within 48 h, the supplier will update the order and ask again the retailer for confirmation. The retailer is allowed to change an order at most three times. Afterwards, the supplier will automatically cancel the order.
Plsss answer with complete handwritten solution and diagram. Thanks! ❤️ P.s use english system unit.
The three-station work cell at Pullman Mfg., Inc. is illustrated in the figure below. It has two machines at station 1 in parallel (i.e., the product needs to go through only one of the two machines before proceeding to station 2). 30 min/unit Station 1 Machine A Station 2 Station 3 Station 1 3 min/unit 2 min/unit Machine B 30 min/unit a) The throughput time is minutes (enter your response as a whole number). b) The bottleneck time of this work cell is minutes per unit (enter your response as a whole number). c) is the bottleneck station d) If the firm operates 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, the weekly capacity of this work cell is units (enter your response as a whole number).

You are the mechatronics engineer of a manufacturing plant. You decide to perform an analysis on a robot arm of the assembly line with the objective of optimizing its performance. After taking several readings of the speed of the arm’s end effector, you approximate its velocity to the function given below. v(t) = -t4 + 5t3 - 7t2 + 3t + 0.22 0 =< t =< 3 where the velocity is in ms-1 d) Knowing that the distance travelled by an object is the area under its velocity-time graph, determine the distance travelled by the end effector on the interval 0 =< t =< 1 by using the mid-ordinate rule. Simpson’s rule correct to 3 decimal places using four intervals. e) Calculate the same distance as in (d) above by using the appropriate definite integral. f) Compare the distances you calculated in (d) and (e) above and comment on the accuracy of the two methods you used in (d)
Chapter 19, Problem 54P, part task bI think there is an error in part task b. It is not clear how to find the final expression for T_max.After it has been made clear that T_max = T_3, there is a description (See blue square in the attached picture part task b) which describes that an expression must substitute T_1, but the written expression applies to T_3?In the calculation after this, there is a sudden jump to the final expression for T_max. But it's not clear how I'm going to get to the final expression? (The orange square in the attached picture of part task b) I have includet pictures from: The task descriptions. Expert sulution to part task a, where we are given the expression, that is needet to solve part task b. And expert sulution to part task b
Speed reduction, either through gearing or belt-pulley constructs, is an important element in motion system design. Similarly, converting rotary motion to linear motion is an important consideration. Considering a printer system driven by a stepper motor with 200 steps per revolution, construct a table that shows the relationships for: a. Position resolution of the print head vs. angular position of the motor. This translates to addressable print dots per mm vs. step angle. b. Print head speed (mm/S) vs. motor speed (Steps/S with rpm also noted) C. Frictional load at the print head (mN) vs. reflected torque at the motor (mNM) Mass of the print head vs. reflected inertia to the motor d. Use GR for Speed Reduction, r (mm) for the radius of the drive pulley, and m (grams) for print-head mass.. Belt Actuator Load Drive Pulley Secondary Pulley Linear Guide Belt Primary Pulley Motor
