Volume-variety and design In Chapter 1 the four V’s of operations were described. These were volume‚ variety‚ variation and visibility. The first two of these – volume and variety – are particularly important when considering design issues in operations management.

Ailine Veiga Question: what is the heat of fusion of ice? Hypothesis: To get the heat of fusion of ice we need to determine the Energy it takes to melt the ice and also the mass of the ice and determine the heat of fusion. To determine the mass of the ice melted (m) we start by determine the volume of the water generated when the ice melted. This is the difference between the final volume (v2) and the initial volume (v1). Using the density of water (1.0g/mL)‚ this volume can be converted into mass. This

Heat in physics is defined as energy in transit. It is symbolized with the alphabet Q. (Strong‚ Martin C. The Great Alternative and Indie Discography of Heat) It is mostly connected with different movements of atoms‚ molecules and other particles. These particles either consist of particles that are either hot or cold. High temperature bodies‚ are often caused due to the high heat transfer‚ which is created by chemical reactions‚ nuclear reactions‚ electromagnetic dissipation‚ or mechanical dissipation

Ratio Analysis Ratio analysis is used to evaluate relationships among financial statement items. The ratios are used to identify trends over time for one company or to compare two or more companies at one point in time. Financial statement ratio analysis focuses on three key aspects of a business: liquidity‚ profitability‚ and solvency. Liquidity Ratios Liquidity ratios measure the ability of a company to repay its short‐term debts and meet unexpected cash needs. Current ratio The current
