The Ford Pinto Case In the late 1960’s Ford Motor Company wanted to produce a small model car to compete with small Japanese and German imports like Volkswagen‚ Datsun and Toyota (Danley). In 1969 Ford’s Board approved the plan to produce the Pinto. The CEO‚ Lee Iacocca‚ wanted a car that was low weight‚ under 2‚000 pounds‚ and low cost‚ under $2‚000. Lee “Iaccoca imposed the 2000/2000 rule‚ i.e.‚ the Pinto could weigh no more than 2000 pounds and cost no more than $2000” (Danley). The engineers

SISTEMAS DC Motors Catedrático: Ing. Gustavo Mendoza Leal Alumno: Alfredo Valdés Cárdenas Introduction A DC motor is a type of electrical machine that converts direct current into mechanical power by means of a magnetic field. DC motors are widely used in field applications because of their many advantages over AC motors such as speed control‚ high starting torque‚ quick starting‚ stopping‚ reverse and acceleration and free from harmonics found in AC. Applications of DC motors include but

The speed of an asynchronous motor rotating field and thus its rotor speed depends on the number of pairs of poles in the stator field .the rotor speeds n are lower than the table values by the amount of the relevant slip speed ns. Motors are designed with up to three stators windings‚ which have different number of pairs of poles. They can therefore run at up to pairs of poles. They can be in any desired ratio to one another. A pole-changing switch is used to changing poles for the desires speed

Utilitarian Analysis The Case of the Ford Pinto The Ford Pinto first rolled off the Ford Motor Co. production lines in 1971 and stayed in production in its original state until 1978. The vehicle engineers were tasked to develop the vehicle and put it into production within 25 months‚ which was nearly half the time in which the average new vehicle is put into production. The Ford engineers were aware that rear-end impact safety tests were pretty standard at the time‚ but they were not required

It was inevitable for the company to overcome from this as in the long run due to lack of these critical components an organization may face inadequacy in terms of human recourse and productivity. Moreover the perceived thinking process was also a hindrance as one of the members was unwilling to change the leadership style.
