This is an Engineering Research Paper. What is operations research? Operations research is the application of the methods of science to complex problems arising in the direction and management of large systems of men‚ machines material‚ and money in industry‚ business‚ government and defense. The distinctive approach is to develop a scientific model of the system‚ incorporating measurements of factors such as chance and risk‚ with which to predict and compare the outcomes of alternative decisions

The case provides an effective vehicle for teaching this and also for the concept of integrating all aspects of operations. Discussion Questions 1. What objectives should be adopted in manufacturing with respect to cost‚ delivery‚ quality‚ and flexibility? 2. How should the objectives in manufacturing be achieved though process‚ organization‚ equipment‚ work

with step-by-step derivations showing the operation of QPSK modulation and demodulation. The transition from analog communication to digital has advanced the use of QPSK. Euler’s relation is used to assist analysis of multiplication of sine and cosine signals. A SPICE simulation is used to illustrate QPSK modulation of a 1MHz sine wave. A phasor diagram shows the impact of poor synchronization with the local oscillator. Digital processing is used to remove phase and frequency errors. Since the early
