Kanban: It is derived from the combination of two Japanese words‚ kan ("visual") and ban ("card" or "board")‚ kanban roughly translates to sign board or signal board. It is a manual system used for controlling the movement of parts and materials that responds to signals of the need (i.e.‚ demand) for delivery of parts or materials. This applies both to delivery to the factory and delivery to each workstation. It helps determine what to produce‚ when to produce it‚ and how much to produce. The

1 Contemporary Methods of Aircraft Construction and Design The construction of aircraft is a complicated process requiring precise calculation and innovative design in order to improve and maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aerospace engineers must find a balance between reliability‚ strength and weight of the many components used in the fabrication of the aircraft. The design of an aircraft must take into account the magnitude of forces‚ such as lift and drag‚ acting upon the

tragedy in Irkutsk is due only to Russian disorder: such a catastrophe could have taken place in any country and involved any aircraft. This is proved by the statistics. Hundreds of planes crash during landing or take-off claiming the lives of hundreds of passengers in many counties in Asia‚ Africa‚ Europe‚ and America. What is happening? Experts believe that today’s aircraft are designed the way that a man’s error is inevitable in an emergency situation. Obviously‚ no constructor can ackowledge the

There were many aircrafts in World War II‚ this is the history and the different types of aircrafts. The World War II aircrafts were a deadly weapon and there were many of them. These aircrafts pretty much make up the war. The attacks and battles in World War II mostly used aircrafts to attack enemies from the sky. The history of the aircraft goes way back. Manufacturers made many different aircrafts for many different purposes. World War II allies needed many aircrafts to win the war‚ and 100

AGING AIRCRAFT: STRUCTURAL FAILURE Introduction 1. The term ‘Aging Aircraft’ generally applies to the aircraft getting older in its operational service. An aircraft begins to ‘Age’ as soon as it first flies and various effects begin to occur. However‚ the term is usually applied to the issues which can begin to arise as the time-since-new becomes significant. Aircraft design methodologies and approved maintenance schedules take account of the effects of the continued use of aircraft. Non Destructive

TECHNICAL PAPER (FINAL): - EXTERIOR AIRCRAFT LIGHTING SYSTEMS Exterior Aircraft Lighting Systems Author: Peter Mann Abstract There are many forms of lighting on an aircraft and each has its own purpose. Aircraft lighting can be split into two distinct categories: exterior and interior. This technical paper will look at exterior aircraft lighting systems. It will examine the purposes of these exterior lighting systems‚ their implications on the aircraft as a system of systems‚ and the
