Telephone poles, once installed in a location, remain in useful service until one of a variety of events occur. (a) Name three reasons why a telephone pole might be removed from useful service at a particular location. (b) You are to estimate the total useful life of telephone poles. If the pole is removed from an original location while it is still serviceable, it will be installed elsewhere. Estimate the optimistic life, most likely life, and pessimistic life for telephone poles. What percentage of all telephone poles would you expect to have a total useful life greater than your estimated optimistic life? (c) What is an environmental life cycle assessment (LCA)? How do treated wood, metal, and concrete poles compare?
In a car manufacturing company, an automated painting process has been introduced, and the quality assurance team suspects there might be issues that require investigation. The team decides to conduct a root cause analysis to identify potential problems. Through the root cause analysis and further investigation, it appears that the drying time of the paint in minutes is affecting the overall quality of the finish. The aspect they need to examine is the variation in drying time across different colours of paint. Considering the ongoing concerns in the painting process, the team chooses to collect a sample of six drying time measurements every 20 minutes from various colours of paint. The recorded drying time values for a day's production are presented in Table 1. A total of 10 sets of measurements, each consisting of six drying time values in minutes, have been collected. Each time a set of measurements is taken, the individual drying time values are recorded. Table 1: Drying Time…

In light of the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, the government has recently imposed the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), which prevents from a gathering of people and limits human physical contact only for doing the necessities, therefore no physical face-to-face classes can be held at Circle College. As there is no information about when these restrictions will be lifted, you are concern about the sustainability of Circle College in the future. You realize that there is an urgent need for Circle College to digitalized business operation and management systems to suit the needs of the current situation. Suggest FIVE (5) possible solutions (using the concept of e-business, cloud computing or shared services) to improve the efficiency of Circle College’s operation in the current situation by focusing on teaching and learning method, the sharing of the learning resources and the exchange of information amongst all stakeholders.

Wind Tunnel Testing – Carbon Bike Frames As an equipment provider for several Olympic cyclists, Carbon Bike Frames (CBF) operates a very expensive wind tunnel facility near San Diego, CA. The wind tunnel is used to find the best compromise between ergonomics and aerodynamics for the cyclist. Presently, more and more cyclists are interested in CBF’s services, so the company considers building a second facility. However, given the enormous costs of the wind tunnel, they also want to explore a more effective use of the current facility. An initial data collection reveals that: The standard fitting time for a cyclist is 2h. On average, the wind tunnel is used for 7 fitting procedures a day (new customers or customers who want a refit). The wind tunnel is available 24 hours a day. CBF offers a free second session should the customer not be entirely satisfied with their bike fit (internally also known as “rework sessions”). About 2 out of 5 customers come back for such a “refit,” which…
A plastic injection molding machine operates 334 days a year. It is the bottleneck workstation in a process that produces plastic housed wall clocks. Industrial engineers collected data on the probability of machine breakdowns, the costs of preventive maintenance, and the cost of a breakdown. Number of Molding Machine Breakdowns per Day Probability of a breakdown 0 0.32 1 0.27 2 0.22 3 0.13 4 0.06 The cost of preventive maintenance is high due to performing it between 1 and 4 a.m. each day by two machine experts. The preventive maintenance cost is $2,030 per day including replacement parts, cleaning, and software upgrades. The cost of a breakdown of $1,940 is also high because the downstream workstations can only work until all work-in-progress inventory is completed; then the entire process must stop. What are the economics of the situation? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent. The expected cost of a breakdown per day is $ The manufacturing…
