How is the lean engineer’s job different from the industrial engineer’s job?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The difference between the lean engineer’s job and the industrial engineer’s job.

Explanation of Solution

The main objectives of the lean engineer are as follows,

  1. The plan of production cells using a chase.
  2. The plan of production cells using current equipment.
  3. They eliminate the job shop's functional design.
  4. The combination of quality tools.
  5. The combination of defect prevention devices.
  6. The improvement of one-piece flow processes.

The main objectives of the industrial engineer are as follows,

  1. The main objective of the industrial engineer is to achieve production targets.
  2. The planning for the smooth production.
  3. The improvement in the performance of the organization by increasing its productivity.
  4. The improvement in the quality of the product.
  5. The improvement in the effective utilization of resources and time. 
  6. The elimination of the waste.

Two large tanks, each holding 100 L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes, with the liquid flowing from tank A into tank B at a rate of 3 L/min and from B into A at a rate of 1 L/min (see Figure Q1). The liquid inside each tank is kept well stirred. A brine solution with a concentration of 0.2 kg/L of salt flows into tank A at a rate of 6 L/min. The diluted solution flows out of the system from tank A at 4 L/min and from tank B at 2 L/min. If, initially, tank A contains pure water and tank B contains 20 kg of salt. A 6 L/min 0.2 kg/L x(t) 100 L 4 L/min x(0) = 0 kg 3 L/min B y(t) 100 L y(0) = 20 kg 2 L/min 1 L/min Figure Q1 - Mixing problem for interconnected tanks Determine the mass of salt in each tank at time t > 0: Analytically (hand calculations)
Two springs and two masses are attached in a straight vertical line as shown in Figure Q3. The system is set in motion by holding the mass m₂ at its equilibrium position and pushing the mass m₁ downwards of its equilibrium position a distance 2 m and then releasing both masses. if m₁ = m₂ = 1 kg, k₁ = 3 N/m and k₂ = 2 N/m. www.m k₁ = 3 (y₁ = 0). m₁ = 1 k2=2 (y₂ = 0) |m₂ = 1 Y2 y 2 System in static equilibrium (Net change in spring length =32-31) System in motion Figure Q3 - Coupled mass-spring system Determine the equations of motion y₁(t) and y₂(t) for the two masses m₁ and m₂ respectively: Analytically (hand calculations)
100 As a spring is heated, its spring constant decreases. Suppose the spring is heated and then cooled so that the spring constant at time t is k(t) = t sin N/m. If the mass-spring system has mass m = 2 kg and a damping constant b = 1 N-sec/m with initial conditions x(0) = 6 m and x'(0) = -5 m/sec and it is subjected to the harmonic external force f(t) = 100 cos 3t N. Find at least the first four nonzero terms in a power series expansion about t = 0, i.e. Maclaurin series expansion, for the displacement: Analytically (hand calculations)
