AE 2 ASSIGNMENT 1-M 1. A client is asking you to design a 4-storey residential building. He is choosing between a reinforced concrete frame versus a steel frame for the skeletal frame of the building. If you as the designer personally prefers steel construction. State two (2) ADVANTAGES of steel construction (that were discussed) in hopes of convincing your client to opt for a steel frame. State the reason why these are the two ADVANTAGES that you chose, give example for these ADVANTAGES. (Write your reasoning in paragraph form, it's best if you imagine reading your answer to your client personally.) 2. Consider number 1. But this time you are against choosing steel construction over reinforced concrete. State two (2) DISADVANTAGES of steel construction (that were discussed) in hopes of convincing your client to NOT opt for a steel frame. State the reason why these are the two DISADVANTAGES that you chose, give example for these DISADVANTAGES. (Write your reasoning in paragraph form, it's best if you imagine reading your answer to your client personally.)

The "Quality Woods" factory is dedicated to the manufacture of doors. It is currently developing the "Classic 2050" style and requires you to conduct a process flow study. The information necessary for the construction of the DOP is presented below: The materials for making doors are sent from the raw material warehouse to the production department (1.40 mt, 0.51 min). An operator cuts the vertical posts (7 min), moves to planing (0.5 min; 1 mt); the vertical columns are brushed (8 min), it is moved to glued (1.4 mt, 0.51 min). At the same time as the vertical studs are cut, the horizontal studs are cut (10 min), the horizontal studs are planed (10 min). Once the horizontal columns are ready, they are transferred to gluing with vertical columns (1.2 mt, 0.55 min). Vertical uprights are glued to the horizontal ones using glue (15 min). Let it dry in a separate area (15 min). An operator checks that the uprights are well glued and proceeds to nail (6 min), then is transferred to gluing…
