How is conventional automotive assembly different than mixed-model final assembly?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The difference between conventional automotive assembly and mixed model final assembly.

Explanation of Solution

The factors on which conventional automotive assembly is different from the mixed model final assembly are as follows,

  • The significant difference between both the assemblies is that conventional assembly is not flexible in terms of the product, whereas the mixed-model assembly is way more flexible.
  • Different shapes, sizes, and orientations of the desired products can be produced simultaneously using mixed-model assembly, but the conventional assembly can’t be used.
  • Inventory used is less in mixed-model assembly whereas, inventory needed is more in conventional assembly.
  • Work in progress is smooth in mixed-model assembly type whereas, delay happens in conventional assembly.
  • Changes in desired products can be changed during working also whereas, in conventional machining, the whole production needed to stop for setup changing.

A linear system is one that satisfies the principle of superposition. In other words, if an input u₁ yields the output y₁, and an input u2 yields the output y2, the system is said to be linear if a com- bination of the inputs u = u₁ + u2 yield the sum of the outputs y = y1 + y2. Using this fact, determine the output y(t) of the following linear system: given the input: P(s) = = Y(s) U(s) = s+1 s+10 u(t) = e−2+ sin(t) =e
The manometer fluid in the figure given below is mercury where D = 3 in and h = 1 in. Estimate the volume flow in the tube (ft3/s) if the flowing fluid is gasoline at 20°C and 1 atm. The density of mercury and gasoline are 26.34 slug/ft3 and 1.32 slug/ft3 respectively. The gravitational force is 32.2 ft/s2.
