Chapter 7: managing flow variability: safety inventory 7.1 Objective In the previous chapter on inventory‚ we focused on economies of scale as the major driver for inventory. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the notion of safety inventory as a buffer against stochastic variability in supply / demand and discuss various levers for reducing it. The chapter is covered over two classes each of duration 100 minutes. In the first class‚ we first motivate the need for forecasting as a way

resistor placed in the tank is connected to a 120-V source‚ and a current of 10 A flows through the resistor when the switch is turned on. Determine how long it will take to vaporize all the liquid in the tank. Also‚ show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines. Question 4: (20 points) Steam enters the condenser of a steam power plant at 20 kPa and a quality of 95 percent with a mass flow rate of 20‚000 kg/h. It is to be cooled by water from a nearby river by circulating

The Circular Flow of Income and Expenditure The circular flow of income and expenditure refers to the process whereby the national income and expenditure of an economy flow in a circular manner continuously through time. The various components of national income and expenditure such as saving‚ investment‚ taxation‚ government expenditure‚ exports‚ imports‚ etc are shown on diagrams in the form of currents and cross-currents in such a manner that national income equals national expenditure

Name: ******** Class: DME2 Title: Flow Measurement Date: 11/02/2013 Lecturer: Mr Higgins Summary: In this experiment many different meters were used to measure fluid flow rate; the orifice plate‚ the venture meter‚ the rota meter and the weigh tank. Each meter works by its ability to alter a certain physical property of the flowing fluid and then allows this alteration to be measured. The measured alterations are linked directly to the flow rate and these measurements are subbed in
