- On February 12 Peg Jones, vice president for operations and maintenance, called into Stephen’s office and asked to study the issue. Specially, Stephen wanted to know whether the average fleet age was correlated to direct airframe maintenance costs, and whether there was a relationship between average fleet age and direct engine maintenance costs. Peg was to report back by February 26 with the answer, along with quantitative and graphical descriptions of the relationship. Peg’s first step was to have her staff construct the average age of Northern and Southeast B727-300 fleets, by quarter, since the introduction of that aircraft to service by each airline in late 1993 and 1994. The average age of each fleet was calculated by first multiplying the total number of calendar days each aircraft had been in service at the pertinent point in time by the average daily utilization of the respective fleet to total fleet hours flown. The total fleet hours was then dividend by the number of…arrow_forwardwhat is a Safety observation tourarrow_forwardStudent Performance Results Pre- Post- Pre- Post- Student ID LG1 (%) LG1 (%) LG2 (%) LG2 (%) Pre- Assessment Assessment Assessment Assessment Assessment Assessment LG3 (%) 1 70 85 75 80 90 80 098 Post- LG3 (%) 85 2 75 90 90 80 85 75 90 96 3 80 85 75 1 90 70 85 4 75 90 70 85 75 00 90 5 70 85 75 90 90 6 75 50 00 80 95 85 90 80 85 75 90 7 80 85 75 90 90 70 85 8 75 90 70 85 75 90 9 70 85 75 90 80 85 10 ° 75 55 90 80 85 75 90 11 80 85 75 90 00 12 75 90 20 70 70 85 85 75 90 13 70 85 75 90 80 85 55 14 75 90 80 85 75 90 15 80 85 75 90 70 85 16 75 90 70 85 75 90 17 70 85 75 90 80 85arrow_forward
- How could control charts, Pareto diagrams, and cause-and effect diagrams be used to identify quality problems at a hotel?arrow_forwardCase Study 3 – Miscommunication The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster While reentering Earth’s atmosphere the shuttle unexpectedly disintegrated, resulting in the death of all seven astronauts on board. The cause was later discovered to be damage to thermal shielding tiles from impact with a falling piece of foam insulation of an external tank during launch. It was the seventh known instance of this particular piece breaking free during launch. NASA’s investigation team found melted aluminum on the thermal tiles and inside edges of the left wing of the spacecraft, supporting the notion that the Columbia’s destruction was due to hot gases that penetrated the damaged spot on the wing. Mission control deemed that foam shedding was a not a safety factor prior to launch, believed damage of the shuttle panels were not a significant issue. It was not until January 24, 2003, that mission control had classified the damage as a problematic issue. These missteps in communication between mission…arrow_forward2arrow_forward
- Delta Air Lines and the Exoskeleton Delta Air Lines is partnering with Sarcos Robotics to explore new employee technology fit for a superhero—a mobile and dexterous exoskeleton designed to boost employees’ physical capabilities and bolster their safety, reports New Equipment Digest (Jan. 15, 2020). Sarcos, the world’s leader in exoskeleton development, has developed a battery-powered, full-body exoskeleton designed to increase human performance and endurance while helping to prevent injury. This robotic suit, designed for employees to wear, does the heavy lifting. By bearing the weight of the suit and the payload, the exoskeleton may enable an employee to lift up to 200 pounds repeatedly for 8 hours at a time without strain or fatigue. The Sancos model is designed for use in industries where lifting and manipulation of heavy materials or awkward objects are required and aren’t easily handled by standard lift equipment.

In November, Medco’s management revised a portion of the existing no solicitation and distribution policy to read as follows: “Visitors, patients and other nonemployees may not solicit or distribute literature on any hospital property for any purpose at any time.” The hospital operates a cafeteria that is open to serve employees, patients, and the general public. On December 4, two (nonemployee) union organizers entered the hospital cafeteria accompanied by some off-duty nursing employees. The off-duty nursing employees proceeded to distribute union literature provided to them by the two union organizers. The two union organizers did not personally hand out any union literature or attempt to solicit any employees to sign a union authorization card. The two union organizers did remain seated in the cafeteria for…arrow_forward
