What are the 5 M's of manufacturing?
Certainly when I studied my Masters course in Engineering Business Management, the 5M's of manufacturing were:- Machine Method Material Man Measurment I understand that recently, people have added the Environment to the listor "Mother Nature" to make it 6M's. However, as that's not one which I personally care to mess with, I'll stick to my 5M's as was taught to me.
haha you thought you loser hahaha
by the way check your pants . . . i think i can smell something haha
How do you determine your freight class?
There are 18 freight classes and they are based on density.
But how are freight classes determined? The many definitions or classes of freight are cataloged in the National Motor Freight Classification tariff, commonly referred to as the NMFC.
Freight Class pages: http://tinyurl.com/ycubx3k
NMFC Code pages: http://tinyurl.com/yzqktuh
Carriers base class on four shipment characteristics:
- Density - Are you shipping a pallet of bricks, or a hot air balloon?
- Stowability - How is your shipment being packed in the van? For example, is it on a pallet but the shipment has a pointy top so takes up more space than normal?
- Handling - Is the freight palletized or are you shipping mattresses?
- Liability - Are you shipping valuable electronic equipments, fine china, or 10 boxes of used sneakers?
Get it right the first time. If you guess wrong, you expose yourself to the rebilling department of the carriers …which is NEVER a good thing.
Always ask your carrier for proper NMFC codes prior to shipping, or call the manufacturer, distributor, or seller of the products being shipped. Chances are they have been asked that question before.

What is a tempered glass made of?
Tempered glass is ordinary glass that has been "toughened" by a special heating-cooling process or by a chemical hardening process. Most mass-produced glass is made from the ingredients Silicon Dioxide (Silica), Sodium Carbonate, Calcium Oxide, Magnesium Oxide, Aluminum Oxide, Sodium Sulfate and Sodium Chloride. Some tempered glass also contains Boron.
What is the manufacturing date of a browning nomad serial number j1e1718?
The serial number listed isn't correct. The letter J should not exist. The first character would be a number such as "1" that you listed, followed by a "P" not an e. Please recheck the number. If it turns out to be 1P1718, then it was made in 1961.
It can be either a fixed or a variable cost
As a fixed cost
A fixed cost is one that will not vary due to a change in production volumes or just volumes of a product in general. When electricity is charged at fixed cost for the plant or premises then it can be termed fixed cost. This is because no matter how many products you will sell or produce, the cost of electricity will not change.
As a variable cost
A variable cost is one that varies or changes with the change in production volumes or sales volumes. When electricity is charged due to the consumption then its value will change with the volumes sold or produced therefore is treated as a variable cost

The following are the popular types of plant layout:
(1) Process layout (2) Product layout (3) Combined layout (4) Static product layout or Project layout (5) Cellular layout (6) Job Shop layout. Each layout is explained in brief in the following paragraphs:
Process layout: It is also called functional layout. All machines performing similar type of operations are grouped at one location in the process layout e.g. all lathes, milling machines, cutting machines etc in the engineering shop will be clustered in their like groups. Thus all forging will be done in one area and all the lathes will be placed in another area. In this layout, several products may share a machine to make its full use. The sequential arrangement of the machine group is generally, but not necessarily made on the basis of labor operations. In this type of layout the process rather than the product has a dominating role. The product is given secondary consideration and is moved for the purpose of operations to the process section with like machines stationed at a particular point. This type of process is more suitable to job order type of production. In such production the operation differs from product to product. So, it is desirable to arrange the machines on the basis of process rather than on the products.
The typical arrangement of the machines in the process layout will be as under:
Product 'A' and Product 'B' with their differential sequence will be routed for the processing in the manner.
Advantages: The process layout avails of the following advantages:
1) Like product layout it eliminates the duplication of machines an enables the optimum use of installed capacity.
2) It facilitates the flexibility in production. It is more flexible than a line layout. Different products can be made without the changes in the arrangement of machine. The production capacity is not arranged in rigid sequence and fixed rated capacity with line balancing.
3) Like product layout, the break down of one machine does not interrupt the entire production flow.
4) Specialization in supervision becomes possible.
5) Individual incentive schemes can be developed.
Disadvantages: The following are the main disadvantages of the process layout:
1) Due to lack of straight line sequence of production, it is impossible to maintain the line balancing in production. So the problems of bottleneck and waiting and idle capacity arise.
2) The cost of material handling increases due to long routing and back tracking between the processes.
3) The processing time is prolonged which reduces the inventory turnover and increase the investments in inventories.
4) The inspection cost increases. Due to frequent changes in the machine set-up inspection is required at each stage of the process.
5) The cost of supervision increase due to specialist supervisors and more number of supervisors are required at each process unit.
6) The production planning and control becomes difficult due to complexities arising in routing, scheduling, dispatching and follow up.
7) It is not possible to implement the group inventive schemes on the basis of quantity of the products manufacturing
8) More space is required for internal storing, reservoir of materials and provision for the expansion of the particular process section.
Product layout:
In this type of layout, the machines are arranged in the sequence as required by the particular product. All machines as required to balance the particular product the product line layout. In this layout, one product goes through all the machines lined up, in the order required by its manufacture. The best known example of this type of layout is seen in motor car production. To make this layout successful, the work load on the various machines must be balanced. The process of getting even loading at each stage of production is called line balancing.
In this type of layout, the product is dominating over the process, in the sense that the product is given the primary importance and the process machine must remain present at a point where the product needs its services. Thus, unlike the process layout, the process is given secondary importance in relation to the product. Product layout suitable for continuous flow production with few items of production:
It does not require frequent changes in machine set up. The typical arrangement of the machines in the product with the separate independent product lines for the Product 'A' and Product 'B' will be as shown.
Advantages: The product layout is advantageous as under:
1) Reduced material handling cost due to straight line production flow.
2) Mechanization of material handling is possible due to handling between fixed points.
3) Line balancing may eliminate bottlenecks an idle capacity.
4) Shorter operating cycle due to shorter and speedier movement of materials.
5) Maximum utilization of machine and labor capacity through developing proper balance between them.
6) Effective control over production with reduced supervision by generalist supervisors. By reducing the manufacturing to simple steps we can often use less skilled labor.
7) Effective quality control with reduced inspection points. It does not require frequent changes in machine set-up.
8) Effective production planning and control. Unlike process layout, the routing, scheduling, dispatching and follow up are relatively easier.
9) Maximum use of space due to straight production flow and reduced need of interim storing.
10) It facilitates the implementation of the group inventive schemes for the workers.
11) It is relatively easy to control
Explain the importance of effective time management in personal and work environment?
Effective time management in both personal and work environments means that deadlines will be met, more activities can be completed, and people can be more organized. Using time management makes the end results better because things have been planned out better.
