Case Study Summary The Siemens Kalwa factory in Mumbai‚ also referred to as Kalwa Works (KW)‚ started in 1973 with the production of motors and later diversified to produce switchgears and switchboards. By 2009‚ 40 per cent of all Siemens India employees were working in Kalwa and contributing 45 per cent of the total Siemens India production. Kalwa had become the most important business centre for Siemens India. In October 2006‚ Siemens AG decided to implement lean manufacturing in the

How to Make a Simple Electric Motor Energy comes in many forms. Electric energy can be converted into useful work‚ or mechanical energy‚ by machines called electric motors. Electric motors work due to electromagnetic interactions: the interaction ofcurrent (the flow of electrons) and a magnetic field. Problem Find out how to make a simple electric motor. Materials Needed D battery Insulated 22G wire 2 large-eyed‚ long‚ metal sewing needles (the eyes must be large enough to fit the wire through)

Entering the electric automotive industry in 2003‚ Tesla itself faced the challenges of being the new entrant into the market having numerous financial troubles that required high capital investments‚ building the brand and distributions channels. However‚ for established manufacturers with considerable economic power to enter this market is relatively low due to their capabilities and governmental program support for developing electric vehicle (Shirouzu‚ 2011).

Siemens is a one of the largest electrical and electronics engineering companies in the world‚ it employs 20000 people in UK. As well‚ in 2006 Siemens UK invested a large amount of money (over £74 million) only on R&D‚ because the company competes in a rapidly changing environment‚ and their business focused on innovation. Therefore‚ to keep its world-leading position‚ and for growth of their business‚ Siemens needs people with first class level of skills‚ knowledge and capability in IT‚ business

Case Study: Siemens Bribery Scandal 1. Corruption was deeply embedded in Siemen’s business culture. They rationalized this corruption by stating that it was not illegal to initiate bribes to government officials. This was true‚ however not anymore‚ the law changed in 1999 prohibiting such acts of corruption. 2. If a manager at Siemens would have stood up and took a stand against corruption‚ I think that he/she would have most likely been fired for being insubordinate. The higher executives that

Electric Motor The goal of this experiment is to build a simple electric motor and observe how it works. I will attempt to make it spin evenly by attaching it to a battery via jumper cables. The independent variable is the battery charge (1.5 V) and the dependent variable is how fast the motor spins. The lab doesn’t have multiple experiments for us to test this but I would hypothesize that the two variables would have a positive correlation: higher voltage‚ faster spin. I built my tiny motor

structures 1. This drill contains an electric motor. The diagram below shows the main parts of an electric motor. The carbon contacts are made of graphite. Springs push the contacts against the copper ring. The contacts conduct electricity to the copper ring. The copper ring rotates rapidly but does not stick or become worn because the graphite is soft and slippery. Graphite has properties which are ideal for making the contacts in an electric motor. Explain‚ in terms of structure and bonding
