Making Hotplates What changes in the work situation might account for the increase in productivity and the decrease in controllable rejects? According to the article‚ the company had 10 workers that were responsible for assembling hot plates with the appropriate tools. Each person was responsible for assembling a part of the hotplate instead of the whole thing. One person would start the hotplate assembly‚ when they were finished they would pass it to the next‚ who would begin their part‚ etc

The employees were all placed on an assembly line. An assembly line is standardized layouts arranged according to a fixed sequence of assembly tasks (Stevenson‚ 2011). The assembly line was balanced by industrial engineers. Line balancing is the process of assigning tasks to workstations in such a way

Making Hotplates 1. What changes in the work situation might account for the increase in productivity and the decrease in controllable rejects? The changes in the work situation that might account for the increase in productivity and the subsequent decrease in controllable defects are the redesign of the work flow and the increase in the work responsibility assigned to each worker. The redesign of the work flow allowed workers to assemble a unit of the hotplate instead of only a part over and over

carries heat away from the hot plates at a rate dependent on wind speed. Providing power to maintain the hot-plate temperatures at their set point values can provide the quantification of wind speed. Similarly‚ raindrops landing on one of the hotplates will evaporate causing a further power drain on this plate. This project is to design‚ build and calibrate this sensor using Labview. 2 BACKGROUND By keeping the two heated plates at a constant set point temperature it is possible to measure

information in the case study‚ the morale of the employee’s involved in the manufacturing of Hotplates is extremely low. Due to this the controllable rejects are almost 23%. The reasons behind lack of employee motivation are analyzed as repetition of work and partial involvement that lack the outcome. To overcome the problem management decided to dedicate the entire manufacturing process of single hotplate to an individual employee. The change of assigning the whole job to a particular employee is

In this experiment I will be using a simple method‚ which needs the following materials 40ml of glycerin in a beaker‚ protractor‚ a pencil‚ a laser‚ a paper to draw boundaries‚ circular plastic plates‚ hotplate‚ ruler and a digital thermometer. In this experiment 1 trial will be conducted for glycerin with 70 Celsius degrees ‚66‚62‚58‚ and another trial with 10 Celsius degrees. Scientific Background:- In this experiment I have chosen to investigate the

We started with a small amount of cooper powder in a beaker‚ and added nitric acid to it while the beaker was under a fume hood. We removed the beaker as soon as it was safe to and next we added 25mL of water to the current blue solution. We then added sodium hydroxide to the beaker and then proceeded to place the beaker on to a hotplate and stir
