Once an organisation’s mission has been established, it can begin to identify its strategy and implement it. Strategy is an organisation’s action plan to achieve its mission. Heizer and Render (2017) suggest that firms can achieve their missions in three conceptual ways. This means that operations managers are required to deliver goods and services that are better or at least different, cheaper and more responsive. Define and then justify an appropriate mission statement for VW by applying any one or combined conceptual ways.
Problem 1.28. Estimate how long it should take to bring a cup of water to boiling temperature in a typical 600-watt microwave oven, assuming that all the energy ends up in the water. (Assume any reasonable initial temperature for the water.) Explain why no heat is involved in this process.
Problem 1.1. The Fahrenheit temperature scale is defined so that ice melts at
32°F and water boils at 212°F.
(a) Derive the formulas for converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius and back.
(b) What is absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale?
Problem 1.2. The Rankine temperature scale (abbreviated °R) uses the same
size degrees as Fahrenheit, but measured up from absolute zero like kelvin (so
Rankine is to Fahrenheit as kelvin is to Celsius). Find the conversion formula
between Rankine and Fahrenheit, and also between Rankine and kelvin. What is
room temperature on the Rankine scale?
