Hinge Manufacturing Company employs a Kanban system for a component part. The daily demand is 1000 hinges. Each container has a wait time of 0.08/day, and a processing time of 0.32 days. The Container size is 60 hinges and the safety factor (α) is 12%. (Note that lead-time is the summation of waiting time and processing time.)
Calculate the number of containers.
What is the maximum inventory of this hinge in the system?

Critical Thinking Symposium

WIT 4: Your WIT for Lesson Four is to write a 2-3 page speech. Imagine that you will be speaking to college students at a Critical Thinking Symposium (in a fun city of your choice). You have been asked to speak to the college students on the challenges and pitfalls of good, clear, critical thinking. Part of your speech will contain a story about the value of good critical thinking in your life.

You may consider the following elements for an effective speech:

1. definition-what is critical thinking?

2. why is critical thinking important (to self, society)?

3. what cultural barriers in communication to critical thinkers face?

4. what are several effective communication skills that critical thinkers can practice?

5. an example of critical thinking lacking in your own life?

6. an example of critical thinking being a positive moment in your own life?

7. what is an issue, problem, or decision that you will apply critical thinking to in your future?

8. closure-what is the most important thing that you want to say about critical thinking?

Be sure to cite the text as you draw upon it to inform your work.

Estimate the average rate at which Neenach and Pinnacles have moved apart since 19 Myr. Estimated average rate of displacement since 19 Myr: km/Myr

Lab 2 Tectonic Plates

Learning GOAL You will examine two points that were originally in the same place along the San Andreas Fault and measure how far they have moved apart. Using GPS velocity data, you will estimate how long it might have taken for this displacement to occur.
Displacement Along the San Andreas. The San Andreas Fault in California is an important part of the boundary between the Pacific Plate to the west and the North American Plate to the east. Between about 19.0 and 24.1 million years ago, a volcano erupted near the western margin of the North American Plate, and later that same volcano was split by a fault in the San Andreas Fault system. The displaced halves of that volcano now form the Pinnacles and Neenach Volcanics (Fig. A2.2.1). Pinnacles now moves with the Pacific Plate and Neenach remains on the deforming edge of the North American Plate,

1. Measure the distance between Neenach and Pinnacles along the San Andreas Fault. Because the fault is not a straight Line on the map, you might want to use a string in the measuring process. Carefully position the string along the curved trace of the fault. Mark the average positions of Neenach and Pinnacles on the string. Straighten the string along a ruler and measure the distance between the two points on the string in millimeters. Each millimeter on the map represents 4 Ion on Earth’s surface. Approximate distance from Neenach to Pinnacles: km

2. The age of the Neenach—Pinnacles Volcanics is between about 19.0 and 24.1 Myr. Based on your answer to the previous question and making the first-order assumption that faulting began soon after volcanism ceased (around 19.0 Myr), estimate the average rate at which Neenach and Pinnacles have moved apart since 19 Myr. Estimated average rate of displacement since 19 Myr: km/Myr
