A narrative about the approach to the problem with supporting references I identify manufacturing costs when buying and making the product in this case study. Then‚ based on the manufacturing costs‚ I calculate the differential cost and the differential profit and decide whether to buy or make the product. The process of each calculation is described in as follows. Firstly‚ in case of buying the product‚ subassembly costs are $128‚000 ($ 16 × 8‚000

a descriptive model of the design process? When would you use a prescriptive model? Descriptive model of the design process is a linear model‚ feedback isn’ t discussed and it is more simple than the model known as prescriptive which is an extended model in comparison with the descriptive one. In descriptive model‚ according to client’ s objectives‚ alternative concepts are introduced through different concept schemes‚ without a problem definition and the process improves‚ depending on feasibility

system‚ a JIT system‚ and in Synchronous Manufacturing. Which system do you believe to be superior? Why? Jacobs and Chase (2011) state that an MRP system allows for rejects by building larger batch quantities than actually needed. They further state that a JIT system cannot tolerate poor quality because JIT success is based on balanced capacity and a defective part can shut down an entire JIT system (Jacobs & Chase‚ 2011‚ p. 695). A synchronous manufacturing system has excess capacity throughout

as not waste this planet’s resources. Let’s look at ways to help manager design a process for achieving this goal. A process or transformation strategy is an organization’s approach to transforming resources into goods and services. The objective of a process strategy is to build a production process that meets customer requirements and product specifications within cost and other managerial constraints. The process selected will have a long term effect on efficiency and flexibility of production

Furthermore‚ the act of mapping a process out in flow chart format helps you clarify your understanding of the process‚ and helps you think about where the process can be improved. A flow chart can therefore be used to: •Define and analyze processes. •Build a step-by-step picture of the process for analysis‚ discussion‚ or

EDM (Electrical discharges machine ) and WEDM ( Wire Electrical discharges machine). • Fundamentals of process; Principles of EDM Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a controlled metal-removal process that is used to remove metal by means of electric spark erosion. In this process an electric spark is used as the cutting tool to cut (erode) the workpiece to produce the finished part to the desired shape. The metal-removal process is performed
