Jeffrey S. Smith (2003), presented detail survey on the use of Simulation for manufacturing system design and operation. According to his noting numerous books deal with the general topic of simulation (for example, Banks 1998; Banks, Carson, Nelson 1995; Law and Kelton 2000; McHaney 199 1; Pooch and Wall 1993; and Ross 1990, among many others). More books deal with the design, application, and use of specific simulation languages and pack-ages (for example, Dunning 1985; Harrell, Ghosh, Bowden 2000; Kelton, Sadowski, Sadowski 2002;Pegden, Shannon, Sadowski 1995; Pritsker 1986; and Winston 1986, among many others).Then he mentioned the papers solely reflecting application of simulation to manufacturing design and operation (for example Carrie 1988; Heginbotham (ed.) 1985;Hurrion (ed.) 1986; and Law and McComas 1986).Evidently, simulation is a noteworthy tool in the general systems analysis domain and in the manufacturing system design and operation domain in particular.As his survey specifically focused on the modeling and development aspects pertaining to manufacturing systems simulation, other components of simulation analysis are equally important. These include input modeling (Leemis 2001), design of simulation experiments (Barton 2001), validation and verification (Sargent 2001), and output analysis (Sanchez 2001).Several authors describe the general use of simulation for manufacturing system design (for example, Law et al. 1993; Law and McComas 1999; Lipton 1969; and Norman and Norman 1986). Schroer and Tseng (1998) describe the simulation modeling of complex manufacturing systems. Sanders (1986) describes the general issues associated with simulating automatic assembly systems. Heavey and Browne (1996) describe the use of ...

...right and Haslam (1999) and Russell et al. (2007), study of work (Zandin, 2001), ergonomics and work measurement aspects (Laring et al. (2002) and Udosen (2006). Longoet et al. (2006) used M&S in combination with 3-D virtual environments, ergonomic standards and work measurement for supporting the effective design of an assembly line .In concluding remark they state that concerning to the assembly workstation, their methodology allows to evaluate the impact of each design parameter on multiple performance measures (The Permissible Force related to lifting activities, the Stress level related to working postures, the energy expenditure and the process Time). The final result was the ergonomic effective design of the assembly workstation: a completely new workstation layout characterized by several ergonomic improvements in terms of energy expenditure and process time.
The model of addiction etiology that best describes why people get addicted and how best to help them is biopsychosocial model. The biopsychosocial model, first developed by cardiologist Dr. George Engel, is today widely accepted by the mental health professions. The biopsychosocial model describes addiction as a brain illness that causes personality and social problems. The biopsychosocial model lets us to make solid and accurate differences between substance use, abuse, and dependence. It also allows the signs of addiction to be recognized and structured into progressive stages.
Across the nation many nursing programs are facing clinical site shortages for their students. The hardest hit population is the license vocational nursing (LVN) students. Many hospitals are trending toward achieving “Magnet Status” for their institutions. Therefore, LVN students are no longer allowed to complete their clinical training in several hospitals. This action forces many nursing programs to seek alternative methods of clinical instruction. In years past simulation training was used as an aid to facilitate learning. Today, for many nursing programs scenario based simulation is the only option for learning patient care.
Statecraft was very useful for applying and experiencing concepts we learned in class. It was very helpful for understanding the material better because we actually experienced what we were learning instead of just reading about it. Had we not gone through the Statecraft simulation, the class would have been less interesting and less effective.
My breaching experiment involved three social norms. These social norms forced people to be in an uncomfortable situation and make a decision as to how they should react to it. The first social norm I experimented with was sitting next to someone in an uncrowded movie theater. I chose this because of the awkwardness it caused. At all three of my trials, occurring from 1-9 pm, there were over fifty empty seats at Carmike on February 21st. The next social norm I analyzed was sitting in someone’s assigned seat. This was chosen because I felt it would be engrossing to observe the different reactions fellow high school students retaliated with, all being different races. At Liberty High School I took someone’s assigned seat five different times,
The Foodcorp simulation was a great exercise for this class. It was a fun activity. I felt that the materials and the situations reflected the real organizational experiences. There were thirteen roles with different responsibilities in the simulation. These roles create a structure of the organization. For example, these roles create a three level of hierarchy, two groups of products; frozen foods and dry foods, and the subsidiaries. I played the roles of senior vice president of frozen foods, vice president of production and vice president of sales and marketing of frozen foods. For these roles, I had the direct responsibilities to improve the situations that had been the issues in the frozen foods department. Our group members have also helped each other to brainstorm for the ideas to solve the problems.
Supply and demand plays an intricate role in the amount, price, and availability of products and services. The applying supply and demand concepts simulation guides users through making decisions for Goodlife, a management company for 2 bedroom apartments in Atlantis. The simulation names the user the property manager; responsible for vacation residents, new pricing for units, and advertising. The property manager makes decisions in circumstances including the changing of supply cure, demand curve, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the equilibrium of price and quantity. All of these decisions move the business along as conditions change around it.
Observational learning is a type of learning that is done by observing the actions of others. It describes the process of learning by watching others, retaining what was learned, and
The Andragogical model is characterized by six assumptions that have emerged from research. The first assumption titled, “the need to know” describes the idea that, “Adults need to know why they need to learn something before undertaking to learn it” (Knowles, Holton & Swanson, 2015, p. 43). “The learner’s self-concept”, describes the second Andragogical model assumption as, “Adults have a self-concept of being responsible for their own decisions, for their own lives” (Knowles et al., 2015, p. 44). The third assumption of the Andragogical model is “the role of the learners’ experiences”. Knowles et al. (2015), describe this as, “Adults come into an educational activity with both a greater volume and a different quality of experience from that of youths” (p. 44). “Readiness to learn” describes the fourth Andragogical model assumption as, “Adults become ready to learn those things they need to know and be able to do in order to cope effectively with their real-life situations” (Knowles et al., 2015, p. 45). The fifth Andragogical model assumption is “orientation to learning”. Knowles et al. (2015), describes this level as, “Adults are motivated to learn to the extent that they perceive that learning will help them perform tasks or deal with problems they confront in their life situations” (p. 46). “Motivation” describes the sixth level
Throughout the history of modern civilization, there have been a number of inventions, contraptions, and processes to have made profound impacts on everyday life, and redefine the world, as we know it. With effective quality management, measures American industrialist and innovator Henry Ford used the assembly line to streamline the automotive manufacturing process and transform the American Industry. With the implementation of the assembly line in his manufacturing process Ford was able to offer the American consumer an affordable automobile, while at the same time cutting costs to his company, therefore maximizing his overall productiveness and profit while ensuring his customers’ needs were met.
Different jobs require various amounts of labor, expenses and raw materials subject to the superiority of the jobs to be carried out. The quality and size of items demanded can vary. Therefore, such a job might not need a standard manufacturing method. On no account are two jobs precisely similar. The finished product may not be the same. Clearly, the cost of every job will be different depending on the individuality of the work order obtained from clients.
The ethics and morals of using virtual reality with medicine have many faces. Ethics is defined as the way we should act towards others; also the justification of right and wrong, in this case a set rules or expectations that are set forth in the medical profession.
It is needed to define intelligence before defining artificial intelligence. Intelligence is thinking and reasoning, perceiving and evaluating of perceived things, commenting and concluding them (Kayabaş, 2010). Artificial intelligence is general name of computer system studies which aim to fulfill the role needing high mental operations like learning from experiences, to reason, to interpret, to generalize. All these abilities belong to only people who are assumed the most intelligence creature in the universe. Also the movements and the behaviors of animals are considered a reference.
Computer integrated manufacturing is a relatively new technology arising from the application of many computer science sub disciplines to support the manufacturing enterprise. The technology of CIM emphasizes that all aspects of manufacturing should be not only computerized as much as possible but also linked together via a computer communication network into an integrated whole. In short, CIM has the potential to enable manufacturers to build cheaper, higher-quality products and thus improve their competitiveness.
Virtual Reality, aka VR, is an emerging technology that has yet to become mainstream like the smartphone or tablet. Even now when you ask someone about VR, chances are they will not seem too interested, but if it is someone who has already used it then they will show real excitement. VR is something that has to be experienced in order to realize its full potential.
... The use of work sampling can supplement the use of time studies and save time and resources. Human factors have had a tremendous influence on work design. Ergonomics plays a major role in the ways industrial engineers design the work to fit the human operators. In doing so, they can elevate the worker’s well-being and the entire system performance. A time study is still a useful tool with the goal of increasing efficiency that should include the additional objective of providing a safe and healthy work environment. (Muchinsky 2009)
