National Cranberry Cooperative (NCC) Case Analysis NCC Issues at Receiving Plant No.1 (RP1): Hugo Schaeffer‚ vice president of operations at NCC has currently identified three problems at the core of RP1. These three problems are: - Idle time: under the current process trucks are spending too much time waiting to unload cranberries at RP1 - Resource Utilization: the current allocation of full time and part time workers has resulted in increased costs as a result of both over time and absenteeism

on Magnet materials • Alnico Magnets Alnico magnet alloy is largely comprised of Aluminum‚ Iron‚ Cobalt and Nickel. Alnico is a moderately expensive magnet material because of the Cobalt and Nickel content. Alnico magnet alloy has high maximum operating temperature and a very good corrosion resistance. Some grades of Alnico alloy can operate upwards of 1000C. Magnets made with this alloy are available in a variety of grades and dimensions and they are usually cast. Alnico magnet material is an older

Photosensitive materials (x-ray films) are used to record the invisible x-ray image. It is required to reproduce all the characteristics of the invisible image in visible form .The films ability to do so depends on its sensitometric properties. Sensitometer: Measures films sensitivity to light; shows the range of densities on an image. Sensitometry:- The scientific study of the response of photosensitive material to different levels of exposure. How is it done? Producing a sensitometric strip
