North Platt Machinery Company manufactures a shaft that must fit inside a sleeve. The firm has just received an order of 48,000 units from Southernstar Exploration Company for $68 per unit. North Platt can manufacture the shaft at $38 per unit. Southernstar desires the diameter of the shaft to be 1.294 cm. The diameter of the shaft must not be less than 1.269 cm in order to fit properly inside the sleeve. To be able to insert the shaft into a sleeve without the use of force, the diameter cannot be larger than 1.319 cm. A defective shaft is discarded and a replacement has to be shipped via express freight to locations around the world. North Platt estimates that the average cost of handling and shipping a replacement shaft will be approximately $58. Shown below are the diameters from a sample of 100 shafts manufactured during a trial run: Number of Number of Number of

4.) A grocery store checkout clerk picked up the item from the checkout counter and moved it across the bar code scanner.

Write a list of the therbligs that comprise this motion sequence and label each basic motion with a brief description.

Grain dust is pound for pound more explosive than coal dust or gunpowder. Ignited by an electrostatic discharge or other cause, it has ripped apart grain silos and has killed or wounded many workers over the years. When 54 people were killed during Christmas week 1977, grain handlers and the U.S. government finally decided to combat dust accumulation.10 Ten years, 59 deaths, and 317 serious injuries later, a compromise standard was agreed on that designates dust accumulation of one-eighth inch or more as dangerous and impermissible in silos in the United States. Nevertheless, on Monday, June 8, 1998, a series of explosions killed seven workers performing routine maintenance at one of the largest grain elevators in the world, demolishing one of the 246 concrete, 120-feet-high silos that stretch over a length of one-half mile in Haysville, Kansas. Discuss grain facility explosions as a case study of workplace safety and rule making: Which ideas concerning acceptable risk apply here? My…

At the old city hall, mail was sorted in a glorified closet—not the sort of place you'd expect to be frequented by a high‐ranking city official with multiple degrees. However, the city of Weston's chief financial officer, Steve Kaufmann, had an unusual interest in the mail. He was often known to greet the postal carrier at the door to receive the day's delivery, take it to the mail closet, then immediately remove selected envelopes and parcels and take them to the privacy of his own office. Other times, he would request hand delivery of incoming payments, circumventing the mail closet altogether. These activities were part of an elaborate embezzlement scheme that resulted in the loss of millions of dollars for the city. Mr. Kaufmann was intercepting checks written to the city and endorsing them to his personal bank account. The procedural manual for Weston's accounting department described mailroom policies, including the requirement for a clerk to log checks into a computer file and…

Situation: An oriented-strand board manufacturer operated its plant on a 24-hour, 7-day work week with two 12-hours shifts. Shift changes occurred at 8:00 am and 8:00 pm. At approximately 8:30 pm on January 18, 2001, a wet hog, which was located in a wood room, dropped off line and would not operate. The wet hog was used to grind tree bark and wood residue into a wet fuel used in wet-fuel burners in the plant. The wet hog was not essential to the operation of the plant, and whether or not it was operating had no effect on other operations in the plant. An electrician was assigned to repair the hog. At approximately 10:30 pm, he entered the motor control room and opened a 2300-volt motor circuit breaker. He caused an electrical fault in the circuit breaker, apparently by contacting energized parts inside the circuit breaker cubicle, and the ensuing electric arc burned the employee and ignited his clothing. He sustained burns over 90 percent of his body, 60 percent of which were…
