You can determine a company's operation strategy by looking at their goals, product portfolio and markets. Also focus production allocation, facility location, outsourcing strategy and production policy.
What is zero defect manufacturing?
A proven manufacturing process that produces a specific product with absolutely no defects either in quality or performance. Zero defect basically is a ideal case, put forward by Philip Crosby. Some argue that zero defects is an unrealistic target and other managment systems strive for acceptable defects such as those found in "six sigma".
Back in the 1950's, when I was a kid, my dad would bring wool soap home from work. He was working as a bus driver for a convent, taking nuns back and forth from the convent to St. Anthony's hospital in Columbus, OH. They would often give him stuff that was donated that they couldn't use, and wool soap was one of those things. It came in rectangular bars, translucent orange, and about twice as big as an ordinary bar of soap. The stuff was very harsh, and would sting like crazy if you got it in your eyes. I asked him once why they called it "wool soap", and he said "maybe it's made out of wool." That's all I know about it.
What are the similarities between perpetual and periodic inventory system?
Perpetual: All inventory entries directly affect inventory
Periodic: All inventory entries affect other accounts, which are then closed to inventory.
Example:
A company purchased $100 worth of inventory on account
Perpetual:
Inventory (Debit) 100
Accounts Payable (Credit) 100
Periodic
Purchases (Debit) 100
Accounts Payable (Credit) 100
Later with Periodic (usually at the end of the reporting period)
Inventory (Debit) 100
Purchases (Credit) 100
This last entry closes purchases and updates your inventory account.

Who manufactured the bolt action M149 Hawthorne 20 gauge and how do you purchase missing parts?
I think it may have been made by Mossberg or someone that made guns for Mossberg.I was at a gun show looking for parts for my Mossberg 20GA. model 185K and found a Hawthorne 20GA. model M149 It is the same gun, the end of the stock does not have the flare at the end under the barrel but all the parts will change from one gun to the other.
Why would an m1 carbine have two different manufacturing stamps on the barrel?
It wouldn't. Only one will ID the barrel maker. The other could be an inspector mark, date mark, proof code, etc..
How many bricks are on a column 40 in x 10 ft?
that depends on the size of the brick.
in the United States, modern bricks are usually about 8 × 4 × 2.25 inches (203 × 102 × 57 mm). In the United Kingdom, the usual ("work") size of a modern brick is 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm (about 8.5 × 4 × 2.5 inches)
So if you live in the U.S. the answer will be 15 BRICKS,
whereas if you live in the U.K. the answer will be 14.117647058824 bricks !

Are carbon steel swords reliable?
First off all swords contain carbon, the differing amounts of carbon, control many aspects of the steel's elasticity and hardness. The best swords are made up of a balance of high and low carbon metals such as the ancient Katanas used by the Samurai. The sword smiths combine a higher carbon steel for the cutting edge and a lower carbon for the core of the weapon, thereby making an extremely sharp yet extremely durable sword. Heat is also a main factor in the construction of a sword, by heating the blade to high temperatures and quenching it at different rates you can achieve many variations of hardness in the steel. To pass judgment on whether a "carbon steel sword" is reliable or not I would need a little more information on the tempering process used and who made the sword. But overall a higher carbon is desired in cutting blades but you have to be careful not to get to the point of being brittle.

Where was the steel manufactured for the Peace Bridge?
Peace Bridge is a pedestrian bridge, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, that accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The bridge is open for use as of March 24, 2012.
The bridge was built by The City of Calgary to connect the southern Bow River pathway and Downtown Calgary with the northern Bow River pathway and the community of Sunnyside. This connection was designed to accommodate the increasing number of people commuting to and from work and those utilizing Calgary's pathways.
The bridge is reportedly used by 6000 people a day and has ranked among the top 10 architectural projects in 2012 and among the top 10 public spaces of 2012.[1][2]
The design follows strict requirements with no piers in the water (in an effort to minimize the ecological footprint) and restricted height (due to the vicinity of the City/Bow River Heliport).
The bridge has also been designed to:
- Withstand Calgary's one-in-100 year flood cycle
- Meet a minimum 75 year life span
- Allow barrier free access for people of all mobility types
- Provide comfort and security through lighting[3]
As such, the bridge is a departure from Calatrava's usual designs, which are typically asymmetric shapes anchored by high masts.[4]Another atypical element is the colour, while most of Calatrava's designs are white, the Peace Bridge features a red and white pattern (Red and white are the colours in both the Flag of Canada and the Flag of Calgary).
Features- Helical steel structure with a glass roof (850-metric-tonne steel)
- A width of 6.3 metres - double the width of other pedestrian bridges in the area
- Segregated bicycle and pedestrian traffic
- Lighting for night time use
- Steel for the arches
- Reinforced concrete abutments & deck
- Span length: Tube Girder 126 meters (413 ft)
- Total length: Out to Out 130.6 meters (428 ft)
- Total width: 8 meters (26 ft)
- Total height: 5.85 meters (19.2 ft)
- Inside width: 6.2 meters (20 ft) (3.7 meters (12 ft) for pedestrian and 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) for cycleway) [5]
Funding for the Peace Bridge was provided by The City's Capital Budget. For the Transportation department, targeted expenditures of capital are directed by the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (TIIP), which defines the priority and timing of major infrastructure construction projects. This program emphasizes pedestrian and cycling in high-density areas where these modes are more efficient at moving people, supporting land use and lessening environmental impacts. [6] As of February 2012, the approximate costs were:
- Construction: $17.995 million
- Architectural and structural design, specialized engineering and quality assurance: $3.9 million
- Project administration and contingency: $2.6 million[7]
On September 8, 2008, Calgary City Council approved report LPT2008-49 which set aside $25 million for the Pedestrian Gateways project for two bridges across the Bow River: one west of Prince's Island Park and one at the west of St. George's Island. The decision directed Administration to design and build one bridge and develop a concept design for a second one.[citation needed]
Construction started in March 2010. A temporary structure was built immediately upstream from the bridge location and served as a place to assemble the bridge before moving it to its final position.
The tubular bridge was manufactured in Spain and shipped to Calgary. Assembly of the bridge pieces started in Fall 2010 and the bridge was moved across the Bow River in November 2011.[8][9]
During routine weld inspection, it was discovered that some of the welds did not comply with quality standards. As a result, the city hired an independent inspection company to do a more thorough inspection of the welds completed in Spain.[10]The added inspections, red flags about the steel work's esthetics, weld repairs, and issues with damaged concrete slabs all contributed to multiple delays in the opening of the bridge. [11] [12] [13]
The bridge, originally supposed to be opened in the fall of 2010, opened to the public on March 24, 2012.[14]
The temporary bridge built to support the construction in May 2010
Temporary bridge completed in June 2010
