Connector

Topics: Book of Genesis, Want, Family Pages: 1 (275 words) Published: August 21, 2014
Several scenes in Grendel reflect real world situations. In some scenarios, Grendel interactions with other characters are no different than that of us with friends or family members. This is most easily seen in chapter seven when Grendel stumbles upon a dragon guarding a large pile of gold and gems. The dragon proceeds to give Grendel advice and discuss the habits of, not only Grendel himself, but also the humans. The dragon very clearly views himself as wiser and superior to humans and Grendel. Let’s face it, we all have that one classmate who thinks he knows absolutely everything and is not afraid to let us inferior students know about it. The dragon reminds me of a know-it-all student, or maybe even an older sibling- someone who has been praised for knowing so much that they assume they know everything. I read somewhere Grendel is supposed to be a descendant of Cain (from the book of Genesis). I do not know what you have to mix in down that line to get whatever Grendel is supposed to be, but I don’t think I want to know. The theory that Grendel is a descendant of Cain makes a lot of sense. I feel that in a lot of way Grendel represents several things that are wrong with the world and with society. The selfishness and the “every man for himself” mentality are factor notorious for getting people in trouble even today. Grendel’s mother reminds me of a drug-addicted parent. She is unable to be there very much for her son, but she obviously still cares and comes running whenever he needs her most.

  • Operations Case Study: American Connector Corporation Essay

    ...American Connector Corporation (ACC) CASE OVERVIEW American Connector Corporation (ACC) is one of the 28 suppliers of electrical connectors, worldwide with sales greater than $100 million. ACC manufactured Electrical Connectors from Sunnyvale, California since 1961. Electrical connectors are devices made to attach wires to other wires, attach wires to outlets, attach wires, components or chips to PC boards, or to attach PC boards to other boards. Connectors were used in a variety of product applications, ranging from military and aerospace equipment to consumer electronics and appliances. Each application and often each producer called for different connector specifications. In 1990, there were over 700 standard connector product lines in North America alone. Standard designs were established mainly by International Institute of Connectors and Interconnect Technology (IICIT), the National Electronics Distributors Association (NEDA) or by the end use industries. In USA, the connector industry was characterized as a hostile environment. The 1991, sales had fallen by 3.9% over the last year and the industry was seeing a downward trend since 1987, with 1986 being the peak year. Consequently, ACC’s last major expansion occurred in 1986 bringing its capacity to 600 million units per year. The 1991 utilization was 70% and was...

  • Fiber Optic Connector Assembly Essay

    ... Fiber Optic Connector Assembly The three fiber geometry parameters that have the greatest impact on splicing performance include the following: Cladding diameter—the outside diameter of the cladding glass region. core/clad concentricity (or core-to-cladding offset)—how well the core is centered in the cladding glass region fiber curl—the amount of curvature over a fixed length of fiber These parameters are determined and controlled during the fiber-manufacturing process. As fiber is cut and spliced according to system needs, it is important to be able to count on consistent geometry along the entire length of the fiber and between fibers and not to rely solely on measurements made. The cladding diameter tolerance controls the outer diameter of the fiber, with tighter tolerances ensuring that fibers are almost exactly the same size. During splicing, inconsistent cladding diameters can cause cores to misalign where the fibers join, leading to higher splice losses. The drawing process controls cladding diameter tolerance, and depending on the manufacturer’s skill level, can be very tightly controlled. Tighter core/clad concentricity tolerances help ensure that the fiber core is centered in relation to the cladding. This reduces the chance of ending up with cores that do not match up precisely when two fibers are spliced together. A core that is precisely centered in the fiber yields lower-loss...

  • American Connector Company Research Paper

    ...Executive Summary: In order to make their plant globally competitive, American Connector Company’s Sunnyvale facility needs to improve on production, process, quality control and inventory control. They should optimize the production line to smoothen the process flow, increase the yield and reduce overall costs. They need to analyse and standardize their product mix. Also, schedule optimization will go a long way to minimize start-up and end costs and to avoid wastage. Work in process inventory needs to be controlled. Quality control measures and checkpoints should be introduced to reduce rejections. Indirect staff for monitoring and production control needs to be minimized to increase the overall productionunits per employee. Also, they should revamp their pricing strategy and implement activity based-costing. Statement of Issues: Sunnyvale would be competing directly with Kawasaki’s high volume / low cost products and faces the possibility of losing lower margin, price sensitive customers. A plant modeled on DJC’s Kawasaki production facility has a tremendous manufacturing advantage over ACC’s Sunnyvale facility. Also, given DJC’s goals strong product quality(1 defect in a million), ACC needs to come up with an action plan to avoid losing their market share to DJC. Criteria: A good criteria for the decision will help in eliminating all the inefficiencies form the process of ACC Sunnyvale plant and will also help them to compete with the...

  • Essay on American Connector Company Case

    ...American Connector Company Case Severity of Threat by DJC The American Connector Company (ACC) should be extremely concerned with the im-pending entrance of DJC to the US landscape. Any new entrant will most likely be of the mentality to try and take as much market share as quickly as possible. This course of action usually involves a period of time when the new company will plan on operating at a loss, and will thereby be will-ing to price below market average with small margins. Realization of this threat would immedi-ately disrupt ACC’s pricing strategy and could affect long term profitability. The threat of lower prices is compounded by the intensity of the current competitive mar-ket. ACC should be concerned with any new competitor, but specifically the operational excellence that (discussed later in this case) DJC has demonstrated could greatly affect ACC’s competitive-ness in the market. When and if DJC or any other competitor enters the marketplace, ACC will have a limited amount of time to evaluate its next course of action; disregarding the arrival of a formidable competitor like DJC will prove to be a foolish decision. Cost Differences between DJC/Kawasaki and ACC/Sunnyvale While they are currently operating in different markets, DJC has a significantly lower cost per thousand units than American Connector Company, by about 23%. Breaking this down further, $0.99, or 8% of ACC’s cost differential comes from volume...
