Henry Gantt’s legacy to production management is the following: * The Gantt chart: Still accepted as an important management tool today‚ it provides a graphic schedule for the planning and controlling of work‚ and recording progress towards stages of a project. The chart has a modern variation‚ Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). * Industrial Efficiency: Industrial efficiency can only be produced by the application of scientific analysis to all aspects of the work in progress

Gantt Chart Introduction. A Gantt chart is a visual project management tool first developed and used by Henry Gantt during World War I. Gantt charts‚ also known as bar charts‚ time lines‚ or milestone charts are one of the most popular and useable ways to present project information. The parts of a Gantt chart. A Gantt chart lists tasks or phases of a project from top to bottom and has time running from left to right. Each task has a start date and duration (or end date). Planned tasks are usually

------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Speed Speed is defined as a measure of the distance an object travels in a given length of time. The average speed of an object can be determined from the equation below: Thus‚ if a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds its average speed can be calculated as; Average speed = 100/5 = 20 meters per second Average speed is used to give the speed of an object over a given interval of time‚ if

A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart‚ developed by Henry Gantt in the 1910s‚ that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary elements comprise the work breakdown structure of the project. Some Gantt charts also show the dependency (i.e. precedence network) relationships between activities. Gantt charts can be used to show current schedule status using percent-complete

Distance Time Graphs Definitions * Speed: Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. * Velocity: Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." When evaluating the velocity of an object‚ one must keep track of direction. It would not

INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration through semipermeable membranes‚ caused by the difference in concentrations on the two sides of a membrane (Rbowen‚ L.). It occurs in both animals and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato
