Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 2P
An alternative airplane design is given here. Follow the assembly instructions and test the airplane. Are the instructions clear? Compare the performance of this airplane design with the one described in Problem 4.1. Which plane was easier to construct? How would you improve the design of this plane or the manner in which the design is communicated?
- Begin with an 8½ in. by 11 in. sheet of paper.
- Fold it lengthwise in alternating directions. The folds should be about 1 in. wide.
- Hold the top of the folded paper in one hand and fan out the back portion with the other hand.
- Make a small fold in the nose of the plane to hold it together, and let it fly.

Madhu Ranadive, president of Davisville Toy Company, Inc., in Stratford, Ontario, has just reviewed the design of a new pull-toy locomotive for 1- to 3-year-olds. Madhu’s design and marketing staff are very enthusiastic about the market for the product and the potential of follow-on circus train cars. Madhu’s production people have worked out the manufacturing issues and produced a successful pilot run. However, the quality testing staff suggests that under certain conditions, a hook to attach cars to the locomotive and the crank for the bell can be broken off. This is an issue because children can choke on small parts. In the quality test, 1- to 3-year-olds were unable to break off these parts and there were no failures. But when the test simulated the force of an adult tossing the locomotive into a toy box or a 5-year-old throwing it on the floor, there were failures. The estimate is that one of the two parts can be broken off four times out of 100 000 throws. Neither the design nor…
For an extended period, you have used pens and mechanical pencils. Please borrow five pens and mechanical pencils. The topic of discussion pertains to the criteria for design. This prompt invites a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of design. Please provide visual representations for each of the designs. Please prepare a report summarizing the findings of your research. The report should be between 1 and 2 pages in length and should include a clear and concise description of your results.

- You are in charge of a large assembly shop that specializes in contract assignments. One of your customers has promised to award you a large contract for the assembly of 1,000 units of a new product. The suggested bid price in the contract is based on an average of 20 hours of direct labor per unit. You conduct a couple of test assemblies and find that, although the first unit took 50 hours, the second unit could be completed in just 40 hours. a. How many hours do you expect the assembly of the third unit to take? b. How many hours do you expect the assembly of the 100th unit to take? c.
