OPS/571 February 13‚ 2012 Riordan Manufacturing Learning Team C has completed the analysis of Riordan Manufacturing’s electric fan design process and has developed a proposal outlining the changes that need to be implemented. The team is proposing to focus on total quality management (TQM); this will allow Riordan to remain focused and efficient in areas of opportunity‚ and to excel in all aspects of the electric fans that are important to customers. The team’s recommendation is to use quality

implementation issues. This lean survey first describes the philosophy‚ the tools and the supporting management behaviour to successfully implement lean manufacturing and continuous improvement. As shown‚ lean is not simply a set of tools and concepts‚ which can be implemented by command and control. Rather it is a fully integrated manage- 2 ment and manufacturing philosophy and approach in which the human dimension is the single most important element for success. Primary data form a survey was gathered

modern carding machines have using the auto leveler still there can be some unevenness along the slivers. These two issues will affect the quality of the yarn. The draw frame machine is the last machine which can improve the yarn quality in the yarn manufacturing process. The tasks drafting and doubling are the objectives of the draw frame machine in order to improve the fiber orientation and sliver uniformity respectively. Removal of hooks and dust also can be carried out by the machine‚ at a significant

first lathe machine that was ever developed was the two-person lathe machine which was designed by the Egyptians in about 1300 BC. Primarily‚ there are two things that are achieved in this lathe machine set-up. The first is the turning of the wood working piece manually by a rope and the second is the cutting of shapes in the wood by the use of a sharp tool. As civilizations progressed‚ there have been constant modifications and improvements over the original two-person lathe machine‚ most importantly

The Machine Metaphor and Organizations Today The machine metaphor points out the ways that organizations are specialized‚ standardized‚ and predictable. When I try to apply this metaphor to real life‚ the first thing that comes to mind is the assembly line inside a factory. To create a product each member has their role on the assembly line and there isn’t much deviation from the set process otherwise the product may be unpredictable. In an assembly line the work is done simultaneously to achieve

greek words: cyto- cell‚ and metry - measurement. So cyto-metry is about making cell measurements. To elaborate‚ flow cytometry is a technique for analysing particles (cells in this case) which are suspended in a fluid stream by flowing the cells past an interrogation point. A light source is directed on to a hydrodynamically focused stream to create a zone for interrogation. As cells flow through this interrogation zone they scatter the light‚ at this point any fluorescent compounds that are inside

Barilla’s Just-in-Time-Distribution Program - Case Report I. Part 1: Executive Summary Barilla‚ the word’s largest pasta producer‚ is confronting with huge fluctuation on its production because the production is dictated by distributors’ orders. This variation leads to expand production price as well as piled up inventory at distributors’ depots. However‚ there was also stockout registered at retailers. My decision is to implement Just-in-Time-Distribution at Barilla‚ in order to reduce the
