ACETATE DEPARTMENT 1. Analyze the Acetate Department’s technology‚ before and after the change‚ by identifying its task variety and analyzability. The task variety was lower and the conversion process was more analyzable before the change. Before the change‚ there were more employees responsible for the actual process of taking the raw materials and creating the product. Employees had specialized tasks and the problems typically occurred less when employees had specialized tasks. The employees

Case : Acetate Department 1) What were the objectives of the production reorganization at Acetate ? The main objective of the production reorganization at Acetate Department was to improve production capacity‚ to increase productivity. 2) Why do you think the objectives of the reorganization were not realized‚ even though no employees lost their jobs‚ and salaries were increased ? Even though no employees lost their jobs and salaries were increased‚ we can note that the productivity

Synthesis The old acetate department located in an old four storey building follows a workflow that is heavily based on shifts/rotations because production is based on a per batch basis. A typical shift‚ the group leader and his crew would complete two or three batches. The night shift usually has lesser work because no deliveries were made. In the new system‚ the management wants to improve productivity. The department was redesigned from batches to continuous processing. Technical changes

Jackovich’s presentation on the SWOT analysis of the Fairbanks Fire Department and Aaron Schrage’s SWOT analysis for the University Fire Department. Jessica’s presentation was put together well and covered the background of the Fairbanks Fire Department and its strengths and weaknesses. The most outstanding strengths of the department seemed to be emphasis on customer service‚ experienced personnel‚ and quick response times. A few of the weaknesses that the department could focus on improving are limited

Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl acetate via an esterification reaction between glacial acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol‚ using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed using sodium bicarbonate and water‚ then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. It was then distilled using a standard simple distillation apparatus. The percent yield of isopentyl acetate was 60.39%. This may have been low due to incomplete distillation or evaporation once

Experiment 12: Isopentyl Acetate 19 October 2012 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to prepare isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol. After refluxing there is an isolation procedure where excess acetic acid and remaining isopentyl alcohol are easily removed by extraction with sodium bicarbonate and water. The ester is then purified by simple distillation and the IR is then obtained. Techniques and equipment used throughout the experiment

Undoped and Ce doped ZnO thin films were prepared by the sol-gel process. Zinc acetate dehydrate was dissolved in a mixture of absolute ethanol and monoethanolamine (MEA) yielding to a precursor concentration of 0.4 M .The MEA to zinc acetate molar ratio was set to 1. For doped films‚ cerium nitrate was added to the mixture with an atomic percentage fixed at 0.1‚ 0.3‚ 0.5‚ 0.7‚ and 0.9 at.% Ce‚ respectively. The resulting sols were magnetically stirred at 60°C for 1 hour and then aged at room temperature

Ethyl acetate (systematically‚ ethyl ethanoate‚ commonly abbreviated EtOAc or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH3COOCH2CH3. This colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues‚ nail polish removers‚ and cigarettes (see list of additives in cigarettes). Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid; it is manufactured on a large scale for use as a solvent. The combined annual production in 1985 of Japan‚ North America‚ and Europe
