The Airplane game‚ an exercise in lean thinking. After reviewing the article The Lean Service Machine (Swank‚ 2003) and watching a video series on making toast using the concepts of Kaizen‚ the class settled into the simulation. This simulation utilized the uniquely simple task of making a paper airplane and transformed it into an overly complicated multi-step batch process simulating the complex production processes that control the manufacturing of military aircraft. There was a job initiator that

How did the process and the outcomes of this negotiation compare to your first simulation? • Differ from the first simulation‚ the negotiation this time had two previous meeting before it started‚ which informed a cleared version of each negotiator’s position and interests. • The process this time was similar to the first simulation: the preneogotiation stage‚ the formal stage‚ and the agreement stage. • The challenges this time was harder due to the

group dynamics were such that we did not effectively utilize the resources we had‚ and consequently pooled a very limited amount of information. Rather than minimizing our risk‚ we increased it. I attribute much of our group’s failure at this simulation to process loss‚ which is defined as the problems that arise from lack of effective coordination among group members. A number of factors at play could explain the process loss which led to our counterintuitive results. First and foremost‚ one must

4.3 Develop a simulation model for better performance The next part of this proposes improvement of the bonding workstation using simulation methods. Simulation is a kind of analysis method‚ which involves systems‚ models and applications‚ to mimic the behavior of reals systems‚ using appropriate software on a computer. Simulation models can be used to analyze and measure the effect of changes on the manufacturing processes. Other advantages of simulation are that it can be done with less analytic

What does proactive planning mean? Proactive planning means planning ahead in advance‚ primarily in order to handle unforeseen events and risks in the future in a better manner. In today’s dynamic and fast paced world‚ companies need to plan in advance so that they can face sudden risks and unforeseen events and ups and downs with comfort and thus‚ do not get trapped or negatively affected by such risks and unforeseen events. Proactive planning allows the organizations to gear up for future events

of the temperature field in laser welding using stainless steel sheets were simulated by ANSYS. The thermal properties which have been used for thermal simulation are assumed to be varying with temperature‚ curves of which are shown in the project. Traveling heat source model of ANSYS was used for simulation purpose. Thermal simulation shows the temperature distribution at different position of the sheets at different time instants. The temperature distribution mainly depends upon the properties

Simulation Reflective Journal Look back We were four in our group and we were given a scenario of a patient who was having an anaphylactic reaction from bee sting venom. The group agreed that I will be the primary nurse. As the primary nurse‚ I knew that I had to lead and supervised our group in responding to the emergency situation at hand. Having played the role of a primary nurse in this simulation‚ I have gained meaningful experience‚ which I can use in my future nursing practice

Work Cell Simulation Robots are a major part of automation technology. Application of this technology depends on how robots are located and used in work cells. Feature-based work cell simulation software is perfect for these applications‚ because it provides an interactive and accurate virtual view of a fully combined robotic work cells that can be modeled and assessed for low cost and reliable solutions. Designers can use the software to model a work cell by acquiring a group of components‚ such
