What kind of process (job shop‚ batch process‚ or line flow) would be appropriate at each stage and why? At the introduction phase‚ product volumes are small and design changes frequent. Thus production in a job shop setup is likely to most appropriate. At maturity volumes will be large

SWOT analysis aims to identify the key internal and external factors seen as important to achieving an objective. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information into two main categories: internal factors – the strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization external factors – the opportunities and threats presented by the environment external to the organization Analysis may view the internal factors as strengths or as weaknesses depending upon their effect on the organization’s objectives

over the network. When the amount of data on the network is excessive‚ the data that the memory can’t be processed has to be retransmitted resulting in congestion. Network congestion thus will contribute to data loss in a phenomenon known as a "bottleneck" because only a limited numbers of data packets are processed when compared with all of the packets sent. Therefore‚ congestion in network occurs due to exceed in aggregate demand as compared to the accessible capacity of the resources. Network

can be solved and can result in a more efficient assembly line. The most obvious problems we spot are the number of tasks per assembly line position. Another problem is that every workstations labour time various too much. This results in several bottlenecks that has negative effects on the efficiency and production time. They differ from 5 seconds to 120 seconds. If these two problems are solved we think the assembly line will be much more efficient and thus more profitable. The first problem we

sustainable result is provided. Regarding general execution‚ the Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz is imperceptibly superior to the AMD Athlon XP 2400+ with regards to running the most recent amusements. This additionally implies it will be more averse to bottleneck all the more capable GPUs‚ permitting them to accomplish a greater amount of their execution potential (Mueller‚ 2015). The Pentium 4 3.0GHz was discharged not exactly a year after the Athlon XP 2400+‚ thus they are prone to have comparative levels

Abstract— The paper examines working of outdoor patient departments in a general hospital. There are several out-patient departments and hundreds of patients visit the hospital daily for treatment. The main objective is to minimize the average waiting time of the patients. The current performance is determined and newer ways are identified to improve the performance of the hospital. Various alternatives are found and evaluated by simulating each of them. The objective of minimizing waiting time of
